Front-page picture glorifies unfair treatment

This letter is in regard to Tuesday’s front-page photograph titled “The rain of our existence.”

I cannot believe someone would take advantage of a homeless person by paying him a measly $5 for each truck he unloads at Pike Place Market. That is not even minimum wage.

I guess some folks have no problem taking advantage of those who are down on their luck. I am appalled that the P.I. would even print such a picture.
