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.

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.”

You and me both.
Let the bank foreclose and go.
Talk with local gangs to police the crappers with the caveat that if the mess continues then the gangs will be harassed incessantly for the foreseeable future.
I honestly first heard it as a Columbus, Ohio joke (Ohio State U.) along with Happiness Is Crushing Buckeye Nuts.
LOL. My brothers would appreciate that joke.
