Squatters have taken over a Wyoming city after some left millions of dollars worth of damage to a motel and others left 500lbs of feces in the downtown area.
Casper, the second-largest city in the state, is home to 60,000 residents but now also has about 200 homeless people.
Some have seized various properties that are empty or abandoned, including an abandoned Econo Lodge motel that hasn't operated since November.
Casper Mayor Bruce Knell described the extent of destruction as akin to 'third-world-country stuff'.
'It's like nothing I've ever seen. It's third-world-country stuff happening in Casper, Wyoming,' he told Cowboy State Daily. 'They destroyed everything. It's horrible.'
The motel which had about 300 rooms was already closed due to flooding, was taken over by squatters, who have now rendered it both uninhabitable and hazardous.
The flooding was initially caused last winter after water lines froze and burst, flooding one floor and submerging the electrical switch panel.
That alone caused millions in damage but the squatters have only served to make matters worse.
After the property was foreclosed by the bank, the building was secured and boarded up.
But the homeless group broke inside and have now left hundreds of pounds of human feces which the city has to deal with as part of a cleanup.
'They have destroyed this business,' Knell said to Oil City News. 'It broke my heart to see,' noting how he saw drug paraphernalia and the wanton destruction of furnishings.
'You cannot wrap your head around what happened to that hotel,' he said.
City officials admit they have run out of ideas with how to effectively deal with the growing numbers of vagrants and note that fines and arrests do not seem to be working when it comes to sorting out the problem.

It’s OUR collective fault, for allowing it to happen.
Why, did the city buy or seize the property? The bank owns it and is responsible to ensure it does not become a public problem.
Starting fining the bank daily and you will see the placed cleaned up in 48 hours.
Arrests and fines don’t work. Gee, arrests have immediate bonds set, so they don’t go to court. If they do, fines are not paid. Come on Sheriff McFly. Think McFly, think.
They remind me of zombies - they just ooze into a place, take it over, and destroy it.
I think there needs to be reservations set aside for them - coexistence with them is impossible at best - won’t be long till some of them get hurt or turn up
missing - it’s inevitable that there will be a cathartic happening - not only with the homeless but also with the transgenders - going to hell in a handbasket we are.

It is my understanding that Casper is very Leftist.
I should amend that. I think the state in general is Red, but I have heard that Casper is a liberal city, at least for Wyoming. For what that is worth...
joe Arpaio solved this problem years ago, that is why Joe had to go.
They already are occupying HOTELS IN MANY CITIES!
Demolish the building.
The homeless can stay inside if they wish.
I know with certainty that there are plenty of guns, backhoes and empty spaces in Wyoming. Why don’t they use them? More people than this have disappeared in Maui and it doesn’t seem like a big deal to many.
Thank God a severe winter is on the way!
In Wyoming?
Right you are. Good tagline!
“Not completely. The GOP is just as guilty as the Democrats for this illegal alien invasion.”
I think that’s what I originally said:
It’s OUR collective fault, for allowing it to happen.
Years ago when we lived in San Diego, the city sued Chicago when they found out they were sending their homeless to a “better climate” with one way bus tickets.
Time to show them some cowboy spirit! Worry not the coming cold weather will cause them to head for California. Homeless and snow do not Mix.
