Seattle-Area Councilman: Hosing Poop-Covered Sidewalks Might Be Racially Insensitive
NRO ^ | 12 July 2019 | Kartherine Timpf

A councilman in Seattle is reportedly opposed to hosing sidewalks that reek of excrement near a local courthouse because he fears that it might be racially insensitive.

No, this is not a joke.

The area surrounding King County Superior Court includes a homeless shelter and other social-services organizations and has become an “unsanitary and potentially frightening” scene — one “that reeks of urine and excrement” — according to an article in the Seattle Times. Desperate for help with the disgusting environment, two of the court’s judges have asked the city to please power-wash the poop-covered sidewalks. That seems like a pretty reasonable request, but apparently, one councilman is worried that doing so might be a form of microaggression.

Are these people insane? Yes they are insane. When we are all dead from diseases re-emerging after being defeated two hundred years ago with the advent of modern sanitation methods, at least they can console themselves that everyone died as a tolerant non-racist.

There will be studies, years from now, exploring the actual insanity that currently grips a good percentage of our people. Their heads truly are not right.

Huh?! What nonsense is that? Does the mayor think minorities WANT crap on their streets?

I never thought I’d be cheering for a Cholera epidemic.

Well, maybe they could just hose down the poop of white people and leave the other poop in the street.

How does nuttiness ever progress to a point like THAT?

Oh, let’s by all means revere a new tradition like that of goode olde India.

The deeper problem is a half baked, secular liberal answer to homelessness. The old fashioned, God fearing liberals actually had good answers. That’s how movements like the Salvation Army got underway. Morals and morale need to be addressed, not just physical conveniences, or yes you will get poopy sidewalks.

This “councilman” should be required to lick those sidewalks.

Racially insensitive? Give me a damn break!

The mayor should be rolled down the sidewalks.

These people have come to deny reality so much in favor of “feelings”, that they seriously think bacteria and viruses are not a danger.

By this councilman’s logic closing the Broad Street Pump during the London Cholera outbreak was racist too.

This is what “white secular liberal guilt” looks like. I doubt even the homeless who poop there are giving it a second thought. “What, those hoses are racially insensitive to us? Even we like our outdoor toilets flushed from time to time!”

Does he think it would be ok to hose away if poop were white?

Hosing the poop-ers might be insensitive, but only if a good fraction of the water contains soap and bleach

Rabid leftists truly have a mental disease, what else can explain this utter insanity?

A whole new volume Charles McKay’s classic “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” can be written on our current political climate.

Yes, the politically correct course of action is to endure the stench and filth along with plague, typhus, hepatitis and eventually typhoid and cholera because we’ll feel better about ourselves. Again we see the liberal mindset that is incapable of imagining catastrophes because they have never experienced one.

So, who the hell is he saying wants to live in feces covered squalor? Blacks? Central Americans, homesick for their sh*thole countries? Damn my white privilege...I just don’t get it.
