Seattle Councilman: Cleaning Poop Off Sidewalks Is Racist
The Daily Caller ^ | 7/12/2017 | Amber Randall

Posted on 07/14/2017 8:16:11 AM PDT by 2banana

A Seattle, Wash., councilman implied that a new effort to clean excrement off the side walk outside the local courthouse could be racist Tuesday.

The crime and smell of urine and excrement have gotten so bad outside a King County courthouse that two judges are scrambling to find ways to fix the situation, reports the Seattle Times.

King County councilmember Larry Gossett isn’t a fan of one solution to power wash the feces from the sidewalks to tamp down on the smell. Power washing the sidewalks is too reminiscent of civil rights activists being hosed down, he said.

The area around the courthouse is surrounded by a homeless shelter and other social service organizations. Multiple assaults, harassment and drugs have been reported to the police in the area near the courthouse. Jurors have taken to asking judges to release them from jury duty and two jurors have been assaulted over the past two months.

“When they come to this courthouse they’re afraid to come in,” said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. “They’re afraid to walk down Third Avenue because what they see.”

Urquhart is asking for an $8,000 increase in budget from the King County Council to have deputies patrol the street. “There is public urination, defecation. That’s a crime,” Urquhart said. “There is smoking marijuana in public.”

How is civilization going to survive when they get rid of all the white people? Apparently according to democrats, whites are the only ones smart enough to have IDs, or to not cause plagues by krapping in the streets, or to spontaneously create wealth from nothing or to to invest time in money in pursuits such as space exploration solely to expand hunan knowledge of the universe. According to democrats, white males are the only people on the planet capable of planning, executing, and achieving goals without requiring the time and resources of other white males

The earth will not sustain 1/100th of the worlds population without constantly maintaining civilization, infrastructure, medical advances. What happens to a city of 20 million when food and water stops coming? When power fails? When medicine fails? How fast does disease spread when millions of bodies rot in one place with feces and urine everywhere on the streets? Because people too stupid to get IDs surely cannot be trusted to maintain civilization

Yes, the guys at freeway offramps. It was common in Seattle but I only recently saw it here in Louisville. I get pretty agressive about them. I’ve honked at cars giving them money and tried to bypass the cars.

Based on my - and my wife’s - experience trying to help panhandlers, I’ve developed a simple rule: Never, EVER give money to a stranger. If I don’t know their story, they get nothing.

I won’t go into the stuff regarding the freeway offramp people in Seattle, but it’s a scam.

Larry Gossett should be handed a shovel and told to clean it up himself, then.

When I lived in Chicago, I was constantly hit up by the same guy for cash, “for food,” of course. One day, I went into a McDonald’s and bought him a trio.

I never give money to panhandlers. If they are truly hungry, can’t they work out some deal with a local restaurant? Sweep up the sidewalk, for example, in exchange for leftover food? (=

Oh, but don’t try that in Seattle; then, you would be a racist!:

How does the jackass feel about fire trucks spraying water from hoses on burning buildings?

So, if cleaning human feces from a public way is racist, then leaving it in place is “inclusive” ... Therefore, rather than wasting tax dollars on shelters, food and other acts of charity and decency, it is the epitome of inclusiveness and thus “not racist” to rather let homeless blacks wallow in their depravity and sh*t. Got it. Thanks.

Seattle also used to be an attractive city for corporate conferences and events, but I have to think no one wants to go there nowadays. When I was there some years ago, we stayed right downtown, but who would do that now?

Can Pee-Resistant Paint Stop the Scourge of Public Urination?

A wall-coating that pees back at you is a new weapon for cities

Hey. They elected him. So be it. Live with the feces.

And I don't mean the sidewalk feces.

The derelicts doing the peeing in Seattle would:

a) Just squat since they are doing that already to poop, or

b) Not care and just get more fragrant

Democrats seem to have an unnatural obsession with body orifices, bodily functions and excretions.

So, because he’s so enlightened, he won’t mind everyone pitching a loaf on his porch. It would be racist if he complains and cleans it up.

This is progressivism at work. Whatever it takes to keep the underclass down so they can be controlled and deployed for the self-aggrandizement of the progressives, which is the ONLY thing they care about.

Just reading the headline, I thought the problem was with people not cleaning up after their dogs. Silly me.
