In late-June 2018 a handful of media outlets covering the northwestern United States reported on a series of unprovoked attacks on the streets of Seattle. In each case passersby had been confronted by a mentally ill male, and in each case that confrontation had turned violent. Four days ago I published a video covering one of those incidents. It’s time for another.
On June 2, 2018 Seattle police officers responded to reports of a fight in progress in a parking lot one block away from the iconic Space Needle. It would be hard to invent a more hilarious and unfortunate story than the reality officers encountered.
A delusional homeless man by the name of Michael Lee Person explained everything to responding officers. One of the women in the out-of-state group was Ellen Degeneres, to whom he was engaged. His fiancé (Ellen) had slept with a fourteen-year-old that very morning (Person claimed to have video), and the fourteen-year-old had swung first in the altercation, which was over Person’s fiancé having slept with an underage male just before their wedding.
In reality, Person was captured on an officer’s dash camera sneaking around a building and jumping the not-14-year-old.
You can’t make this stuff up.

â—â—â— Wait! What? The guy though the (young) blonde woman was Ellen Degeneres?
First off, Ellen Degeneres was 60 years old when this incident happened. Either the "attacker" needs his eyesight checked, or, needs a new TV set.
Secondly, Ellen never looked that good, even when she looked like a female.
This is why our government needs to address the major drug problems that are destroying our community's.
What a joke go 30 miles north now that's more of a joke

Been to Seattle one time, & I don’t ever plan on going back. Everyone that me & my sister came across was rude asf. Literally the only one person that helped us was a taxi/van driver. He apologized on be half of everyone because he seen how rude some lady was acting towards us when we asked for directions. I know not everyone is like this but it was just a bad experience & I don’t care to go back. Lol.
I wonder what the spiritual thing he did first? I'm guessing smoking a bunch of Crack.
What's going on with the world these days ??? What happened to the days where somebody swings at you you swing back and take care of it, the dude got sucker punched but you don't go crying about it you deal with it, he wants medical treatment and depressed charges over a little punch in the head, not much for his woman to look up to in the future 😲😲😲
Seattle looks so beautiful in photographs, but there is such a high concentration of frigging morons and crazy people. Go to Evanston or Tacoma if you wanna be in the area but not a victim.
Have a seat. Have a seat. Have a seat.
I recently had the unfortunate opportunity to be in downtown Portland. It’s an abandoned, stinky, democratic paradise with human shit on the street corners. Seattle is not far behind.
Just remember… the MSM tells you this is what democracy looks like.
Bird was like "I can't. hold. it much lon- nghhh ahhhh🤤what a relief"
Funny this is near a safe injection site
Hawk fan clocked in the face? Hell yeah
It’s sad how these cops treat the guy tho. They’re aware he’s got mental issues, and really the guys being cooperative and polite (homeless guy), yet they still treat him with disdain like he’s just a piece of shit criminal. Police are desensitized to humanity.
it's not the homeless mans fault if the dude looks like Ellen girlfriend
Typical sucker punch from someone who can't fight lol 😆
Must've had the wedding in secret, because I didn't read about it in the 'Society Pages'
It's 2021 and things are worse in Seattle thanks to Jay Inslee and Jenny Durkan
29:28 "i'ma be cool sir, um..chick..uncle"
Cray cray!!!!!!!
Hope they got that man some help :-/ He doesn't deserve to be punished. He deserves mental health treatments. Praying for him-*
Someone should tell Ellen her boyfriend is fighting people in the parking lots
Amazing what a story this was!! Poor people who got attacked- thank god he is being locked up.
How could you confuse troll/elf ellen for that Beautiful girl?
He said "he made himself younger" dude is mad scary crazy
Lol. Homeless guy and Ellen. Sounds about right
The female cop was worthless. Her only contribution was telling every single other person that she felt like the victims shouldn't have parked next to the homeless camp.
The girl who was mistaken for Ellen seems like a real sweetie.
Seattle police are awesome, and when did they allow full sleeve tattoos in the PD.
Drugs kill dreams. Dont let dreams kill your drugs.
….wait
