What's the big deal? I thought liberals were all about taking care of the less fortunate? If anyone is offended put up a big shower curtain and the problem is solved. Give the homeless guy credit, at least he is maintaining a semblance of hygiene. /sarc

You know it is bad when CBS calls the dude a ‘bum’.
To: C19fan
Well ok, as long as he didn’t poo in there. Save that for somebody’s foyer.

Some people seem not to know what fountains are for.

Maybe if he could find a job, he wouldn’t be bathing in a fountain. deblasio would rather have people dependent than working.

Of course, it’s totally illegal for even children to play in this fountain. Actually, I’ve only rarely seen anyone in it at all. Such a busy traffic area it’s not really conducive to fun.
