Kalamazoo, Michigan Decriminalizes Public Urination, Defecation, and Littering — For Equity!

The city of Kalamazoo, Michigan has now decriminalized public urination, defecation, and littering to be more “equitable.”

Small business owners in the area had voiced their opposition to the effort, but their concerns were ignored.

......snip......

Kalamazoo Mayor David Anderson said that decriminalizing these offenses will help the city be more “equitable.” City Commissioner Chris Praedel said pretty much the same thing, according to a report from Fox 17, that it is “fair and equitable to who these laws were most affecting, the unhoused population, as well as provide a better solution for those trying to get on their feet.”

“I definitely empathize with the downtown business owners too. They have invested a lot to be in downtown, and a lot of those spots are mom and pop shops where that is their life income. We want to be respectful of that. We hear them. We are listening to them, and we care a lot, but we care about everybody in the community,” Praedel said.

Commissioner Stephanie Hoffman said that the community needs to have more empathy for people crapping in front of their stores.

“If you see a person who may be defecating, someone in their sane mind would not do that,” Hoffman said. “There is an issue, there is a trauma, there is a crisis going on.”

Went to meet a buyer in a parking yesterday to sell more of my belongings for gas money/vet bills and the guy brought this along, that he'd made for me

I cried.

“I definitely empathize with the downtown business owners too.”

So rather than make any effort to bolster mental health, they make it legal to poop on the street. Brilliant.

These gub mint folks who voted for this should be tarred and feathered and put in the public square in stocks for citizens to pelt with rotten fruit.

The goal is to turn the US into anarchy so voters will elect a tyrant to solve the problems.

Yeah..agreed [that in the long run not arresting the sidewalk poopers,etc. will cost more]

A city or should have the freedom to try its own ideas, but the rest of us shouldn’t be bailing them out of the messes they create.

Kalamazoo - Gibson made some of the greatest guitars and banjos ever there - the degradation of this country is a disgrace.
This won’t end well.
