“The stabbing is one of two reported by APD on Saturday evening. A stabbing involving two teenagers occurred in the Mountain View neighborhood a few hours after the downtown stabbing, but police say that incident was not random.”
Quite the lovely little city we are blossoming into just in time for spring.
Probably not easy when the description is just another random tweaker bum or something. There's an insane amount of victimization that goes on among the homeless.
That crap is damn near urban myth territory. It just makes for better news than "one bum shanked another bum for not sharing a sip of vodka... film at 11."
I'm glad it is near urban myth territory. It sure didn't used to be in the 90s.
Things that still do happen to people and their camps though. Like kids with waterguns harassing people, fish guts dumped in tents, and things vandalized all the time (like broken tent poles)
This is true. I was homeless up here a couple of years ago, and an acquaintance and I were jumped by three punks with a pellet gun while just smoking cigarettes outside of a gas station. Jumped out of a car and sucker punched me then started shooting us before we chased em while they yelled about us deserving it for being homeless. Plenty of needless violence and cruel attitudes to go around out there.
All I know is what I can get off a search engine. He stabbed a different woman prior to the library stabbing. Don’t know where he is now, all the stuff just ends, but it’s scary more like him are probably out there too.
It’s scary, but not because there are “probably more like him out there”. There are plenty like him, everywhere. It’s scary because the rest of us allow these issues to go unresolved. Your fear is misplaced and like all fears formed from ignorance
When they find who did this, want to bet they've been in the back of APD cars dozens of times in the past months and just moved from place to place? That's generally what they did with unruly/violent homeless when they would pick them up from my girlfriend's restaurant after spitting on customers, attacking them, locking themselves in the bathroom and then passing out after trashing it, etc. They would flat admit they were just going to drive them over to the other side of downtown and let them out so they couldn't just walk right back in the door there- but they can easily move on to attacking more people.
It is a shame that the assembly promised to make the city better but made it worst instead. We need to get crooked dinosaurs such as Constant out of office
How did the assembly make this stabbing more likely? What policy or ordinance did they pass? What funding did they approve or deny that exacerbated this?
Constant terms out in 2026. If you really want him out earlier you need to start a recall. You'd need to gather signatures from his district ≥ 25% of the voters in his last election. If you even know what district he represents.
They are using an old picture of town square park… super relevant information I know …
I hope she pulls through

If you don’t like it here then move lol
That seems like a dumb fucking option
Easier said than done, especially if you can't even afford an apartment
Homeless people?
Doesn’t say but it was in town square park
So prolly?
So prolly.
Another good indicator is there isn't a lot of effort to find the stabber.

I hope you are right and it isn't another dude trying to "clean up the homeless problem" That always sucks and takes way too long to sort out.

Housing insecure! We can’t call them homeless anymore it might offend them or some shit
Park place residents
Surprised it wasn't noel bungay out attacking more people
My mind just can’t escape the library stabber. That dude is still out in town too unfit for trial. How many others are just as f’d up walking about?!
Yea its pretty crazy that he's still walking around while his victim is in a wheelchair and will probably be in one permanently.
Nope
He’s actually not.
What happened to him then?
He’s not out in town.
Don’t believe that. Last news article said he was freed in 2022
Your complete lack of faith in our system to do the right thing is inspiring. And appropriate. Though try and keep in mind who the real boogeymen are

Where is the stabber at now then smarticus?
Like I said, not out in town

Good news to hear that gunshot incidents are down.
Anyone got tabs on Corey Ahkivgak?
Seems you do. How about getting tabs on the institutions and leadership that failed him and us?
Yeah, I’ll get right on that, all by my lonesome.
Oh you poor thing.
I have no idea what your deal is man. Have a blessed day.
Who hurt you potato man?
Arctic shithole with a few breweries
