FOX 13 Seattle, what a disappointment this was to watch. Do you vet your stories at all? Linking fornication and fentanyl to Desmond Trufant's property with absolutely no proof of wrongdoing. You owe Desmond Trufant an apology for allowing that trash to be aired.

[@craigstaul839]

My first thought. That area has daily transient problems--how is that linked to this person's property? Walk in that neighborhood or a couple streets over and you'll see: tents in the bushes, tents up all along Scott Pierson Trail, all the way to 6th & Pearl, LA Fitness constant theft and car break-ins, that dumped Mercedes, homeless shopping carts and trash all over the bridge area on Jackson and War Memorial Park, homeless laid out everyday at that library on Skyline, foil pill smoking all in the berry bushes on Pearl near the freeway on ramp, that old white guy gluing up Denial of Life posters all over people's property. How about this neighborhood put a stop to that guy's posters--they're more of a problem than the NFL player. The guy who puts up Denial of Life posters rides a cruiser bicycle and rides Pierce Transit buses and glues up those signs in Tacoma, Lakewood, Puyallup, Spanaway, Parkland, Fife, glues them to people's business's, mailboxes, street signs, power boxes.
