It was a shocking scene at one of the city’s most visited landmarks. CBS2 political reporter Marcia Kramer obtained exclusive images of what some call the latest public insult of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s New York City. Pictures were snapped of a homeless man taking a bath in the fountain at Columbus Circle, a popular city landmark that is now the bathtub of a bum. The man who took the photo called the incident simply appalling.

Why is it shocking or a bad reflection on De Blasio?? He is liberal. He believes in liberal policies towards these homeless. This incident is a logical result of policies of allowing the homeless to do whatever they want . so why would liberals especially be shocked about something like this? Its a logical outgrowth of letting homeless have free reign.

It was hot.
Better to be homeless and clean than homeless and smelly.

The communist got 75% of the vote - speaks volumes of how deep the communist indoctrination has succeeded.

Perhaps a California judge can get this article pulled and prevent release of any further details....

Is this not what liberals want? How dare they judge this person of an alternate-living-arrangement lifestyle. These liberals are all homelessphobic and should be sent to sensitivity training.

I bet people living in super expensive high rises that surround Columbus Circle are not happy.

Because creating a city where the homeless bath in fountains is truly a sign of compassion. </sarc>

If I was hot and sweaty and homeless, I’d take a bath in a fountain. I’d wash my clothes in there too!

The person who took the picture seemed especially upset that the homeless man was using soap. I don’t get that. It’s not like it was pure spring water to start with.

Agreed. I wonder if the folks finding this so shocking and appalling, would find the Planned Parenthood sting tapes to be the same.

These NYC libtards are getting the government they so richly deserve...
Liberals destroyed the safety net for the mentally ill and now they are shocked a person wants to be able to be clean?
