That’s because the airport is so far out of town it’s almost in Kansas.

Yes.....old news.

On occasional trips down to Denver from the Range, I noticed demographics obviously changing quite a bit between 2000 and recently. Amazing. It’s starting to look more like an eastern city, people-wise.

"Most municipal offenses will carry a maximum of 300 days in jail and up to a $999 fine."

300 days for a municipal offense? Yet something else is strange in CO.

"Class 2 offenses, which carry a maximum 60-day jail sentence and no fine. Sitting or lying in the public right-of-way Unauthorized camping on public or private property prohibited Urinating or defecating in public"

So they didn't legalize those offenses after all.

"When Colorado decriminalized marijuana, that was one thing. Whether or not I agree with that decision, I understand the reasoning behind it. But this?"

What did the hysterical author expect? Legalizing marijuana inhibits police from investigating any drug crimes. Alcohol is consumed by pot smokers to suppress the initial excitability. Marijuana suppresses the gag reflex and nausea. Most alcoholics are pot smokers.

Pot smokers can force themselves to expend enough energy to do routine work and maintain, but the drug tends to make people feel lethargic and want to sit. It also inhibits planning for starting a business, although a very few will do it. Then, the panic attacks, depression and what have you. Many of them end up on antidepressants, tranquilizers, etc. Many others, while high with acquaintances who bring other drugs, will try opioids, cocaine or other harder drugs (how most of the opioid users really get started).

And BTW, most of the street people in Denver are not Mexicans. Most of them are white Americans.

Most of the long-term street people around Denver are white tweakers and junkies from the northeast and left coast. Others moved there for jobs, are sober and usually get employed then situated in apartments within a few months or sooner.

Took this photo in north Denver a few days before the 4th of July this year.

This is me bugging out of Denver a few months ago.

The article blog post contradicts itself, it's still an offense but only lightly punished.

The point is, that the penalties were reduced to protect illegal aliens. That is what is outrageous about this decriminalization.

In summary:
The headline says it’s now legal to defecate and urinate on Denver sidewalks.
I said it isn’t legal and that the headline is misleading.
You said that defecating and urinating on Denver sidewalks has been “decriminalized.”
I said that doesn’t change the fact that it is still illegal and that the headline is still misleading.
You suggest I’m nitpicking.

Wow. Bookmarked.

So we can find Denver leftists and ... ?

I was stranded in a big city once during the freezing cold. [Car broke down.] I confess to having urinated outside one freezing night. One time. I did it as subtly as possible. But for goodness sake, Number Two? Fast food joints have bathrooms. It might take a walk — so what?

And what happened to the YMCA?
