About this video

Colion interviews a Seattle resident who describes her experience living near what she identifies as a low-barrier homeless encampment. She reports increased crime, drug use visibility, and property theft in her neighborhood, which she attributes to the encampment’s presence. Colion discusses with her how these conditions motivated her to pursue armed self-defense options, including bear spray and a concealed weapons permit.
