Seen MVD exposed bum guy multiple times, always headed uphill. Not an accidental “sagging” as the trend is with kids, clearly purposeful and without doubt indecent.

Welcome to Washington and the Seattle court system. Just like fishing catch and release, over and over Easiest on criminals in the nation, that is why they come and stay.

The Admiral District crime looks to have been very near the corner of Admiral and California. We have seen kids (teens) loitering in that area, sometimes causing trouble. The combination of the 7-11 and gas station mini-mart parking lots seem to be a magnet.

Crimes without immediate consequence, pending guilt, these kid could have gotten shot.

We might have the same guy (exposer) walking down our street every evening into Fauntleroy park. Fits the description. And, have had a problem with exposure on our street, too.

Yes, adult suspects are sometimes released, too. Charges still might be eventually filed. There are a multitude of circumstances which can lead to suspects not being booked into jail (or in this case, juvenile detention), but it does not necessarily mean they are off the hook. I won’t be able to find out more about this one until Tuesday unless the full report appears online sooner, which is unlikely – those sometimes take a week – TR

I have to agree with Diane! Why were they released to their parents and now arrested for robbery with a deadly weapon? What lesson was learned? If they were adults would they have been just given a ride home? “pending further investigations?”

I think I saw the MVD guy, too, sometime last week – late afternoon, heading up the hill (southbound.) He appeared very thin and his pants were hanging way down almost exposing his rear. Almost seemed like he was pulling them down further as we drove by.

How would cameras have helped Steve? They caught everyone involved. The fact that they were then released is almost enough to encourage vigilantism, but the police did find them just fine.

The marine view drive guy… I see him walking up MVD almost every weekend. I saw him today as the post describes.

Hopefully soon we’ll have video to catch them in the act. No problem with cameras here…if you’re not a hoodlum then what’s to fear?

I dont understand released to parents then out the door to pull knives and guns again. 20 years in the big house.
