I'd close the door on him then call the police. Y'all can virtue signal all you want but these homeless people can have mental illnesses and be dangerous.
It's one thing to ask him to leave and close the door. But call the police? You need to touch some fucking grass. If anything you'd deserve a charge of filling a false police report for calling the cops because a guy asked you for a sandwich.
At least you aren't afraid to tell everyone what a miserable snitch you are. Anyone I knew IRL said something this deranged and they'd be on the class traitor list for life.
The police can be mental and dangerous themselves, what's ya point?
Yeah, this one is over the top.
My late father would employ homeless people to rebuild wrecked motor homes. And amazingly enough, this tactic tended to work fairly well.
They weren't allowed inside our house, except certain hours of the day in the evening. They were even welcome to drink some beer with us and shoot the shit during the later evening hours, just as long as they kept up work on the wrecked motorhome, which is where they slept.
I think they lived there while repairing it for like 6 months, and they were generally honest and legit. Never once stole a thing, they were just glad to have a place to stay during that time.
I'm not in danger. And sometimes cities like mine have special homeless units that aren't cops.
I'm trying to imagine, as someone who also lives in Seattle, how fucking terrified you must be if you feel compelled to call the cops on every homeless person you see.
They know your by name down at the station don't they, lmao.
