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.

“City Cleanup Day next Saturday! Bring gloves, shovel and a baseball bat, meet at the county courthouse at 7 am. Sheriff will deputize all volunteers before cleanup commences.”
Cat o' nine tails is effective, saves time and costs less. Get the biggest, nastiest inmate to administer the lashes, then give him a pack of smokes if he does a good job.
They destroyed the hotel they were staying at.
Winter should solve some of these problems.
Find out who is paying to ship them to Wyoming.
I believe you have answered your own question. If they were white folk, it would have been mentioned right up front. my guess: blacks or illegals.
Okay - I guess it would be best to remove the vagrants first.
Their punishment for vagrancy can be a week of chain-gang-work, sleep in tents in the prison courtyard and eat bread and water. And then a bus ticket and “be out of town by sunset”.
There was a homeless guy in Seattle that caught his tent on fire (accidentally he said, although it is the third time) and a bunch of the other tents caught fire. Nobody was hurt. They tried to charge the guy but he was let out due to diminished mental capacity or something.
Casper needs to ghost the invaders. The city manager needs to tell the invaders to get out!!
The same ones that voted for joe elect and may not even have known.
It’s Liz Cheney’s karma. She wasted her time in Congress on a witch hunt instead of fighting the economic disaster sure to come from Biden’s promises.
I guess we can only hope these illegals,squatters, whoever else...will figure out where Joe lives in Delaware & maybe squat there. Bet something might get done then. Especially if they would decide to hot-wire his Corvette & take it for a joyride.
They eat out of the trash. I've seen it.
For the curious, Casper is about four hours north of Denver, a self-declared Sanctuary City. This is overflow.
Probably one of the things that saves it
