Park at Everett Clinic side of Silver lake, Watched a gentleman in a BMW shoot heroin in his arm, nod off, ....come to... and shoot up again

The Bluffs in front of building a... found 7 live .22 caliber bullets in parking stall


Everywhere you look the signs are evident. Walgreen's Drug Store, had purchased time release safes, in order to control the loss of opiate based drug thefts. Police presence has always been high in specific areas. One might say that would tell you how good the neighborhood was, or wasn't. What are the best signs to detect trouble in your neighborhood?

You do not always see the addict on the corner, or the dealer in the alley. In the last year; I have been forced to walk a lot of places. During my journeys I have came a cross a good amount of filth on the streets of Everett. From April to July in the area of 19th and 100th street se, the ground is littered with aluminum foil that was used for smoking pills, and baggies from heroin. Have you paid attention to the debris on your streets? If so; How well?

Paraphernalia (tools and equipment used for the purpose of consuming drugs) liters the streets of Everett in a bad way. To the un-exposed eye, it all just looks like lose garbage. but to anyone who has seen it said or done; Can help others see the trouble in the area.


During my walks I have come across:
1. Used foil with pill tracks
2. Burt foil with heroin tracks
3. busted Meth (shard) pipes
4. Crack pipes
5. shopping bags ( typical heroin package)
6. Dope bags with residue
7. actual bag of shard (glass, Meth, crank)
8. actual bag of heroin
9. washed dope baggies ( typical for shooters or IV needle users)
10. Melted cellophane with opiate pills in it
11. spoons with burn on them ( cooking heroin)
12. signs of stolen goods, broken goods, and more)

Everybody will tell you that the Everett, Country club apartments are dirty, or that casino road has had multiple drug related murders. But lets look at the evidence.

No more than a week ago, I had a guy ask me too hook him up with some crack. It wasn't his story, his Volvo, or the car seats that made me answer him like I did. at some point you have to look at your surroundings to know what you are up against.

The Albertson's on 128th offers free samples of aluminum foil. This was brought on by a constant attempt of people helping themselves to the foil on the shelves.


Lets start with the Everett parks. While taking the dog to the park every day, I have been paying attention to the debris.

A sexual Columbine in California--One 15 yr old sophmore girl, gang raped by 10 physically and 10 visually, while leaving her homecoming dance!

Richmond, California- Not one or two sick son of a bitches are suspected of assaulting, Raping, penetrating, as well as statutorily Raping a 15 year old sophomore on her way home from the homecoming dance. Six people have been arrested, but not all of them have plead, yet at this time. We want to blame somebody for this. The blame will not go to the right place. We will not allow ourselves to blame everyone the way they should be. It is too taboo. To put the blame in all of the places that it belongs would be a slap in the face to a lot of organizations, groups, communities, and individuals.

The entire United States of America is to blame for this Bull Shit. Oh Sure, we did not put guns to the heads of these young men, but for some reason they thought they could get away with this.That is the fault of the American people, or the American government, which is appointed by the American people.

How did these twenty year old children get the idea in their heads, that they would be able to pull this off? Why was there only one 911 call with up to 24 actual witnesses. Why were so many 18, 19, 21, and 24 year old men drinking on school property? How did they end up in the same circle of friends as the underage children that attend the High school dance to begin with? Was it MySpace, or Face book?

I bet this poor young woman had a myspace , a facebook or a my yearbook page. My children do, and they all have false ages on them. Maybe she did too. Maybe people looked the other way when the friends and acquaintances were under achievers. Or maybe trying to keep them separate is what drew them together to begin with.

Why is it socially un-acceptable for a parent to have GPS tracking on their teenagers cell phone. Two years ago I wanted to use the GPS on my Verizon cell phones to tally my children and Verizon had no option to do so. The cell phones were capable, but Verizon had no available option at the time.

If I was the father of this child, I would have went "in for her" when she was twenty minutes late. Only way to make sure you did not walk right passed the poor girl , is to have her location pin pointed. I certainly do not support a chip implant, but a tracked cell phone, or a avalanche tracking device planted in her clothing I can support.

I spent the last Thirteen years training my oldest son to do as he is told, when he is told. That not doing so is not an option. He always has the right to argue the fact after it is done. We can use this argument to change the outcome of the next encounter, but in the heat of the moment there will be no discussion.

My step daughter on the other hand has had a different set of rules her entire life. She is treated with "Kid Gloves" and allowed to argue everything from doing the dishes to leaving the beach or the movie theater without asking. I fear that my oldest step daughter will make a fatal mistake one day. I think this because of her defiant nature. I truthfully believe that we will tell her to be somewhere at a certain time, and we will be so used to her not being there, we may never know if the fear in our hearts is warranted, or exaggerated.

What is it about the gangster lifestyle that appeals to a 15 year old girl with a cell phone and a DADDY that loves her enough not to embarrass her by showing up at the front door to pick her up? How did this young girl go from heading home, to going to get drunk with friends? She was off to meet her Dad and got side tracked. I honestly fear that to be the case with my oldest daughter. Just for that reason, my poor son will have to go everywhere with her. Watch her experiment with boys, without completely blowing her cover. Even be her conscience when she chooses not to do what she was told to do. For that matter, we do not even tell her what she must do most of the time, we ask her what she wants to do , then make sure she does what she said she would.

Enough about my poor children though. What about the Richmond community? Is the entire community faulty? If the community is a conglomeration of the people that are within it; then it must be so. How can 24 witnesses and ten participants feel good about attacking one person. With 34 to one odds! I am sorry, but every Man woman and child in that vicinity should be charged with failure to render aid. Or aiding and abetting a felony crime. Even if they could not directly intervene, walking away at some point during the One Hundred and fifty minute or NINE THOUSAND seconds that had elapsed, could have put an end to this.

The biggest injustice that has already occurred is common place here in America. It is a struggle to say this, because all people should have a right to a fair trial. How many beat cops were on patrol in the city of Richmond that night? How many speeding tickets were written? How many people were arrested for driving on a suspended license or shoplifting? How many officers could have been directed towards stopping a felony crime? How many misdemeanors are written up every day while felonies go unsolved in that county? Or your county?

Teenagers are becoming alcoholics, addict, prostitutes,and gang members. We need task forces designed and aimed to stop that. To save our children while we are forced to work two low paying jobs, pay day care, and ultimately trust the government to raise our children,, in schools that are cesspools of crime and scum. Beat cops keep honest people honest, where the gang violence, drug trafficking, sex trades, child pornography are running rampant. Victims are being created. Entire lives are being changed. Detrimental to the future of our community we are putting police presence on the streets to prevent misdemeanors, whereas those same officers could be intercepting, preventing, and interrupting major felonies. Stop harassing the working man, and start chasing the criminal mind.

This entire event should be embarrassing for the entire Redmond community. The police force, local court systems, city government, and the local taxpayers for letting the government convince you that real crime hurts insurance companies instead of your children.

My heart goes out to you, my dear. Where ever and who ever you may be. Your father, your mother, and your family. I wish you all the least of pain. I wish for you to get justice, even though we know the criminals are wearing the bullet proof vest, while the police were nowhere to be found while you were being victimized. I hope that all 24- 34 of the people get the punishment fitting the crime.

Please, from this event, push for more felony patrols. Get the cops of the working mans back, and push them against the criminal minds. Never should they be worried about a traffic ticket, a uniform, a speed trap, or a guy just walking down the street. They should be gathering intelligence. Using computers, and saving victims.

The real crime problem

The Great Northwest is an insane place, crawling with addiction. I have seen people pull amazing stunts to acquire a fix of Oxycontin. I see it started by injuries in the work place. Family members were seeing their doctors for torn rotators cuffs. Every month receiving around a hundred Percocet. One never really noticed how bad it is, until its in your face.
Oxycontin has a street value nearing a dollar a milligram. With the pills ranging from twenty to eighty milligrams, one little pill is quite a profit for a person. Street thugs are trading stolen LCD screens, pulling guns, and even robbing pharmacies for the synthetic heroin. The jails are full of fans of the substance, but rarely for that reason. I have heard stories of people consuming eight to ten of these pills a day. $800? Where are they finding that kind of money? Even a well to do person can support that habit for a little while. That is why real estate agents are stealing jewelry, thugs are steeling your televisions, and even robbing the local Walgreens Pharmacy. So what is the world doing to change this?
Walgreens pharmacy has acted on its behalf by installing time lock safes in all of its Washington state branches. It is their way of lowering their chances of being a target of the crime. People are installing security systems to prevent their own losses. What is law enforcement doing to keep the drug off the streets? The jails are full of people that drive on a suspended. The court rooms are full of the same. People in possession of Marijuana, even in the smallest quantities. I have never heard of somebody trying to rob another person to smoke another bowl. Maybe it is a more likely drug to have in possession, but not likely to bring harm. The courts offer differed sentences to these people if they take drug awareness classes, or enter a form of rehab, yet they do not bring harm to anyone.
So with Washington State the leader in violence based on the use of Oxycontin, why are the beat cops not being filtered to the drug enforcement sector? Why is it that the resources of Washington State are being spent on passive actions? Crimes of much more violence are being committed every day, because the State does little to prevent the procurement of, and consumption of prescription drugs.
It is my belief that the police force is not being directed that way, because it is not the will of the corporate entities. There is not enough money in busting drug dealers. What is the maximum fine for dealing a controlled substance? 5K-10K? The trickle down effect of one dealer could effect an entire community. It is not until the community is sick and tired of being targeted that the effort is placed on catching the supply.
If the the supply never hit the streets to begin with, the trickle never would have taken place. Allowing the substance to reach the capacity that it has provides a need for more agents. Makes citizens believe they need more police presence. More marked cars, more traffic stops, and more funding. Everything in the local judicial system has a monetary effect.
The city of Lynnwood, Washington recently made public a budget deficit forcing half time on jail-able offenses. Was that a scare tactic? Was the intention to convince the citizens of Lynnwood to approve a larger budget? Lynnwood has some of the best equipment in the area. With several spanking new Dodge Charger police cars, Harley Davidson motorcycles, several red light cameras, and letter recognition software for running plates in parking lots.
The police presence in Lynnwood is obvious. They are often obviously trolling grocery stores, fast food restaurants, and gas stations. Yet motel rooms are crawling with the sales of controlled substances. Dealers are meeting at bars and Casinos. The local parks are full of drugs and drunks.
Really, what it boils down to is one question. Why is it our tax money is being spent making sure the honest citizen stays honest, instead of being funneled to stop the influx of a much larger problem.
So in not so many words, or in other words, " Spend our money preventing real crime!"
