[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seaton parent here. The Seaton encampment situation should not and should never have been treated as a "delicate issue."

The city allowed these encampments to fester while the school was all-virtual and was very slow to handle it properly when the school (slowly) started reopening classrooms.

Neighbors living across from these tents reported open air propane cooking, [b]finding used Narcan sprays[/b], evidence of drug use, etc. The tents were literally along the playground boundary.

One of the residents was arrested for an assault that occurred a few blocks away and it was determined he had been keeping a gun in his tent. Only after this happened did the city finally take action.

This fiasco was in clear violation of (reasonable) expectations for a drug and gun free school zone.

So, for everyone commenting about compassion for the homeless...kindly step out of this one.

I'm with you on the fact that most of this is bad, except the narcan spray? Oh no, people have been revived?[/quote]

it means people are regularly shooting up and OD’ing. Not exactly the “neighbors” I want in front of my kids’ school. [/quote]

Like I said, finding needles or drugs = bad. Finding narcan = good. Someone lived. [/quote]
