Police: Seattle woman attacked by 'methy' man with rotten teeth
SEATTLE - Police are hunting for a "methy-looking" man with rotten teeth and sunken eyes who sexually assaulted a woman Friday night in North Seattle.
The incident unfolded at about 7 p.m. Friday near 1st Avenue NE and 117th Street NE as the woman was walking home from the Northgate Mall area, said Renee Witt of the Seattle police.
The victim told officers that the man grabbed her and pulled her into some bushes in a weedy area. She fought with him as he sexually assaulted her, Witt said. The ordeal finally ended when the suspect got up and ran away.
The woman managed to walk home, and her roommate called police. The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment.
Detectives from the Seattle Police Department's Special Assault Unit responded to the scene of the assault, but they could find no sign of the suspect.
The victim described her attacker as a white man about 20 to 30 years old who looked "methy," with very bad teeth, sunken eyes and a wiry build. He had very short light-colored hair in a buzz cut, of medium height and build.
Witt said police are still actively investigating the attack. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the suspect is asked to call 911. Anonymous tips are welcome, Witt said.

Describes 10% of Seattles fine population.
"Police are hunting for a "methy-looking" man with rotten teeth and sunken eyes" Â Â
Â
So police immediately started canvassing the Auburn area
Condolences to the victim, this is not the sort of thing you want anyone to experience.
Â
As for the methy looking 'man' hope he is caught or ODs on meth since he is not contributing to society in a healthy manner. Tired of these disgusting losers victimising others who are just trying to get through life.
If she had been packing an AR-15, she could have neutralized the threat....
Â
Â
oh yeah... one more thing...

"Police are hunting for a "methy-looking" man with rotten teeth and sunken eyes who sexually assaulted a woman Friday night in North Seattle."
Â
That description fits nearly half of those that show up before closing time at the Safeway Store.  Apparently those METHY people need their nightly sugar fix.Â
Do you mean the CrownHill Safeway perchance?
So of these posts about these people about guns is crazy talk. I dont care either way about gun control. But I do care about this. here is the odds. on women being attacked cases.
Self Protection Gun users 6 out of 10 get the gun used against them self's.
Stun guns 8 out of 10 the user ends up disabling them self's. (I think this is caused mostly by the design and cost and stuff)
I didn't bother with pepper spray because the sales for those items seam quite low.
Now get this Women trained in self defense classes have 8 of of 10 success rate.
Â
With that in mind the best thing for women to do is take self defense classes. Has the best odds.
Â
Now guns are not bad but the problems we have with guns is mostly people. a lot of people lack the some common sense and depend on the government to protect us. there are lots of gun owners that don't have what I would consider good common sense. And that is a huge problem with most gun owners. Some get training and learn how to take care of a gun and respect these weapons. and there are others who just buy a gun and think that using it is just like the movies or video game. With that in mind that's why the odds are better for women to take self defense. If you fix the people and find away to inject common sense into people and all this other stuff. we might not need a bunch of people yelling for gun control.

Methy guy? Your writing is horrible...
 @Bizquick But guns are too quick and fast about it. With pepper spray you can torment your attacker for hours. Since the rapist probably has his pants down spray that area too.
Sounds like a pretty handsome fella
ANY tweaker is capable of this behavior..the meth has destroyed their conscience.The only answer for them is termination
Judging by the location, I bet mister methy is probably living underneath the Northgate way I-5 overpass. There is a sizable community of urban outdoor campers living up in the beams that support the southbound lanes. By the way, the WSDOT has repaired the fence 4 times in the last 2 years to prevent these d-bags from getting up into there. Guess who pays for that. Last year the city of Seattle spent over 50 MILLION on the outdoor camper issue - our money. is anyone else tired of this BS?
@Pegasus So what, you want to go all Giuliana on them? They're homeless--where the heck they gonna go?
 @138  @Pegasus Who cares? If the city of Seattle starts by removing funding, then follow that up with shutting down the support sites (feeding centers, etc.), they by necessity, these da's will be forced to either relocate somewhere else where they can fool everyone else with their bs, or they will realize the jig is up, and get their collective s$%^t together
Pepper spray is $3.99 in the bin by the front door at Fry's girls. Get some.
 @Ankle Biter  Yes pepper spray is excellent.  And $5.99 for small concealable exacto type blade (but MUCH larger) at The Home Depot. to slash the pervs twins off. Also walk with keys in your hand with each key between your fingers, makes a perfect eye-gouging tool. So many things you can do to protect yourselves gals. Just carry something with ya, cause if you walk alone you just never know.
Â
 @Ankle Biter And not raping people is completely free. That is a much better message to get out.
@Jolly @Ankle Biter Ya, but then you're depending on other people to not be psychos. This is Seattle, so it's much better to take Ankle Biter's suggestion and prepare to defend yourself. You're the only one you can count on to keep you safe.
That's totally methed up
 @sunnysandiego A woman was raped and you joke about it. How classy.
 @skullcrusher sorry I have a speech impediment as noted above.
Â
It is so bad I cannot even type the word correctly. Â totally methed up, methed up, methed up, methed up..... doggone it! Â
Â
Sorry
 @sunnysandiego Nice speech impediment
Friggin zombies **facepalm**
Disgusting, Â Poor woman.

@Half-Baked People like this are the poster children for why all women should carry. He certainly wouldn't get a chance to assault another woman if he tried that with me. Don't tear his penis off with your bare hands, though, you might catch something you can't get rid of. Shoot him, then glove up and do it. :)
 @Half-Baked Draconian, but effective.
I'm getting sick of all these nasty "methy" heads.Â
Well I guess the city of Seattle will now have to provide some sort of dental plan for their homeless.
 @Nightshift This is the BEST comment of the day!!!!!  Ha Ha!
hrm, that woman didn't need to be armed, did she?Â
Â
maybe if she had she could have saved herself the next poor girl that this creep will attack.
 @NW-Economist Yep, it's her fault she was attacked, and it's also her fault that the next woman will be attacked. Talk about being insensitive just to make a stupid point about your precious guns...
 @lakeview  @NW-Economist The amount of victim-blaming on these boards is TOTALLY ridiculous, and absolutely constant. It is really f*cking unbelievable how full of disgusting morons this place is. Pretty much every story like this brings out the "NOW SHE LEARNED HER LESSON THAT SHE SHOULD EXPECT TO GET RAPED AND THUS DO [X]." It is pretty hard to stomach, I don't know why I even click these anymore.
 @NW-Economist  @Jolly  @lakeview undestand NW? You aren't fooling anyone
 @Jolly Don't feed the economist troll.
 @NW-Economist  @lakeview I'm not believing him, I'm believing the fact that victim-blamers flock to these stories every time they appear, insinuating that this happened because women don't know how to protect themselves, then getting defiant and ridiculous about how they aren't trying to say the thing that they are very obviously implying. Maybe you don't INTEND to say that it is her fault, but that is, in fact, what you are saying. You are saying this wouldn't have happened if she had been carrying a gun, which a) isn't a fact, and b) is putting the credit for this happening on her, and her shortcomings by not carrying a weapon, rather than, you know, the fact that she was attacked by a rapist. Regardless of intent, that is literally what you are saying. I realize that you are incapable of understanding that your victim blaming is unacceptable, so by all means, continue to spout your ignorant, harmful garbage. But don't expect a pat on the back for it.
 @Jolly  @lakeview  @NW-Economist You really an moron to believe anything lakeview writes.
 @lakeview  @NW-Economist Your an idiot as usual, nowhere did I say it was her fault, and I guarantee you she would rather have been armed than be raped by that monster.Â
 @lakeview  @Zoso Hilarious, I was saying the exact OPPOSITE of what you claimed I did, anyone with half a brain will follow the link and see that.Â
Â
Also, you are still wrong about machine guns in WA since federal laws from  1934 and 1986 effectively forbid them.
 @NW-Economist Don't waste your time trolling for attention since your posts are falling upon "deaf ears."
 @NW-Economist  @Zoso http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Police-Men-try-to-force-way-into-sleeping-womans-apartment-189398781.html
Â
Read my comment, then your response.Â
Â
Not sure why you continue to challenge me on things when you consistently turn out wrong. For example, owning machine guns here in Washington.Â
Â
Â
 @Zoso  @lakeview No, he's lying as usual, I would never have said that. But since he's sure, I'm sure he can post a link to the article where I said it, otherwise he can shut up and admit he's lying.Â
 @lakeview I wouldn't doubt he has said that to you in another article considering how many pointless rants Economist has posted on other stories with other users. I just wish Economist would get off the keyboard and shut up for a little while.
@lakeview
She is not at fault for being attacked, but that doesn't change the fact that her life would be better right now if she had been armed.
Â
Unlike your BS rhetoric games, this isn't about blame, this is about trying to make her life better. Grow up. This is all a stupid game to you, but for the rest of us its safety and security.Â
Â
 @NW-Economist You did EXACTLY the same thing to me a few days ago in another article. Your comment here is blatantly laying blame on her, and you are the idiot for not realizing it. You even blamed her for any future attacks.Â
 @lakeview  @NW-Economist Well, if she did have a gun who knows? Maybe this freak would be dead. Maybe not. I personally carry pepper spray with me everywhere. Having a large dog with me is also something I make sure of. Women aren't safe walking down the street, perverts are everywhere.Â
 @NW-Economist Whats to say she would want to be armed??
 @cm257n7 100$ says she would say it, or do you think women enjoy rape?
 @cm257n7  @NW-Economist Anyone who responds like that is trying to prove something. Go ahead and take special offense considering if you paid attention and can ready english I was using a negative hypothetical to show why he was a moron.
Â
However, since you are such a grammar Nazi to go after me for a misplaced money sign, I'm sure you can relate which particular statement I aimed at women in general, I'm waiting but I won't hold my breath....
 @NW-Economist First, when referring to money the dollar sign goes in FRONT of the number. Second, I think you need to watch what you say. If stupid things come out of your mouth like that on a regular basis it's amazing to me you've made it this far in life. As a woman I take special offense to what you've said. It's ignorant and actually doesn't make a lot of sense. I'll just assume you had a bad day or not enough coffee and your brain wasn't functioning completely. You couldn't possibly have meant that.
 @NW-Economist  @cm257n7 Not wanting to carry a gun=enjoying being raped in your world?
Â
You sound like a really disgusting person.
 @NW-Economist  @cm257n7 Women enjoying rape...where do you come up with these comments?Â
 @NW-Economist risky... not so difficult to disarm someone with proper technique. Pepper spray and tazing equipment works better, in my humble opinion.
 @Komo Dragon  @NW-Economist I'm guessing the average meth head doesn't have "proper technique." I'd say being unarmed -- and I'm not talking just about firearms -- poses the most risk.
@Komo Dragon @commonsense @Count_Screamalot @Komo Nope, sorry, but you're wrong. There is a small amount of the population that is actually immune to the effects of it, and it is totally ineffective against people under the influence of things like PCP. Don't give out false info, please.
@Komo Dragon @commonsense @Count_Screamalot @Komo Are you sure, those meth-heads are like zombies!
 @commonsense  @Count_Screamalot  @Komo that does not make any sense, not even common sense. Pepper spray is very effective, even on someone that is high.
Guns, however, work on everyone.
@Count_Screamalot @Komo Dragon @NW-Economist Pepper spray doesn't always work against drug addicts, since they're already impaired. And tazing only works until the current is turned off.... then you've got a pissed off rapist on your hands.
