  • Jessica Hovater, who lives, works and raises her children in Seattle, says she never felt unsafe in downtown until this year.
    "I left just this door and walked exactly two blocks up Virginia to hit my bus stop," said Hovater. "A man approached me while I was on the phone with my husband, asked me for a lighter and when I said no, he punched me in the face."
    She said what happened after she left work Monday evening around 5 p.m. is unacceptable.

    I’d met a man who had just moved to Seattle and he had a job but he was homeless. One day a woman walked up to him asking for a cigarette he said he didn’t smoke. She then stabbed him in the chest narrowly missing his heart. He spent a short week at HMC then he had a fresh sutured wound and didn’t want to go to the shelters BC they were “filthy”. Outbreaks of MRSA and other’s*at the jails and in the shelters. I really couldn’t argue with him. He was from another country and he had a job. It was seasonal and hard work but he couldn’t find affordable shelter.

    This is just pure speculation but I'm wondering how she responded to his request for a lighter ? No matter what it was still assult. This comes from a 67 yearold man who chwas threatened by a teenage girl because I wouldn't give her my lighter. She didn't ask to barrow it. But does she think seattle is the only place this sort of thing happens. The incident with me was in tacoma. And I agree that people don't seem to fear action by the police anymore.

      She said that no she didn't have a lighter. And then she got punched in the face, sucker punch.
      And what did she say within a month prior she had a bottle thrown at her so she might have been traumatized and scared still, when she was asked for the lighter by probably not a person in a nicely dressed suit. Probably a gross looking slob.
      It's definitely not okay for men to be throwing bottles of people instead of putting them into the trash cans. If a man doesn't have a lighter than he should buy a lighter.
      Woman had short hair, which is very common for drug users unfortunately. I don't know why her hair is short, doesn't seem like a hard drug user Who is infested with lice ..., she's married with kids. But hey her visage matches that profile coincidentally. Absolutely not her fault. Kind of reminds me of a monk actually. Anyhow. So perhaps the gross guy threw the punch thinking that she was into that sort of thing.
      Does that help?

      Of course SEATTLE can get 500 cops on the streets. Maybe in two years. Recruitment has to get very aggressive. More importantly, hire LATERALS, therefore no training needed. They don't go through another academy for 6-8 months before hitting the streets. But first change the council members, then change the chief of police, and the mayor. Elect people who are TOUGH ON CRIME. Rule of the law is simple. You commit crime and you pay the price by going to jail or worse.

      Instead I think that reducing the availability or the attractiveness of fentanyl, as a solution to your problems in your life, is a good way to reduce the number of people who believe that just because a woman doesn't have a lighter for their aluminum foil drug smoking, that they should punch that woman in the face. There's got to be a way to influence the fentanyl supply and the attractiveness of going to fentanyl in order to avoid your problems.
      Having a strong man who's going to punch you in the face if you use fentanyl is not going to stop fentanyl.
