A Seattle, Wash., councilman implied that a new effort to clean excrement off the side walk outside the local courthouse could be racist Tuesday.
The crime and smell of urine and excrement have gotten so bad outside a King County courthouse that two judges are scrambling to find ways to fix the situation, reports the Seattle Times.
King County councilmember Larry Gossett isn’t a fan of one solution to power wash the feces from the sidewalks to tamp down on the smell. Power washing the sidewalks is too reminiscent of civil rights activists being hosed down, he said.
The area around the courthouse is surrounded by a homeless shelter and other social service organizations. Multiple assaults, harassment and drugs have been reported to the police in the area near the courthouse. Jurors have taken to asking judges to release them from jury duty and two jurors have been assaulted over the past two months.
“When they come to this courthouse they’re afraid to come in,” said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. “They’re afraid to walk down Third Avenue because what they see.”
Urquhart is asking for an $8,000 increase in budget from the King County Council to have deputies patrol the street. “There is public urination, defecation. That’s a crime,” Urquhart said. “There is smoking marijuana in public.”
I have to concede that the level of imbecility has reached a new low.
I hadn’t thought it possible.
Anyone who believes this should be taken into custody for his own protection and committed to a mental institution.
Guess where I’m gonna sh*t tonight!
Seattle becoming San Francisco fast..shame..beautiful city but it’s pretty much been taken over by the lunatics.
LOoks like Bellevue real estate will be a good investment because that’s where everyone is going to move
Dang. In Larry Gosset we actually have someone to rival Hank Johnson...
This must be where Obama hid some of his Illegals ,not we know how to where to find them by the smell
Oh, but they are the intelligent ones./s
Every day and in every way, I am convinced that these people get reelected because nobody wants them in their neighborhood.
The USA keeps trying to act like a first world country and not the third world country it actually has become. Stop being racist! Embrace your third world status! Public poop, every day violence and anti-social behavior is how 6 billion people live every day. We have met the barbarian hordes and they are us.
Unless we want to start calling a spade a spade.
I don't think he really thought this thing through.
Cleanliness is racist!
Moonbat central
I can’t believe I read this. What does he think this says?!
He must really hate when they hose out the monkey cages at the zoo!
I mean...I’m just gobsmacked.
Good thing it wasn’t a white councilmember who said this.
Just another situation highlighting why I left Seattle after 46 years and moved to rural Kentucky.
UH......
Power washing POOP off a sidewalk is like hosing down BLACK
people.
Hmmmm?
POOP = BLACK People
Okay. If you say so.
make the liebral city council lick the sidewalks clean.
talk about giving them some of their own ‘medicine’.
“Power washing POOP off a sidewalk is like hosing down BLACK
people.
Hmmmm?”
Seriously. The fact that that even OCCURED to him means he is a racist SOB.
Seattle has all those high tech people.
Build a robot that can detect when people are going to the bathroom in front of city hall.
When the robot senses crap coming out, it blasts the person with water.
The only problem is, with all the Democrats in government in Seattle, the robot could get inside and really soak the politicians when they start talking.
The Judge should then open up his Judge’s chambers to allow the holy bums access to pee and crap on his floors. If not then he too is a racist. Makes good Lieberal sense to me.
