everybody should go crap in front of city hall...

After decriminalizing defecating on sidewalks, the Chamber of Commerce will probably rename Denver as the “Mile High Pile City.”
No Board of Health? That’s how diseases spread. Now every time I think of Denver I will see visions of poop and other body fluids on the sidewalk. People are required to dispose of dog poop and Denver is letting humans defecate any where they please.
What’s disturbing as well is that they also decriminalized camping out on private land. So now you can go out to get your morning paper, but it’s not there, because the person camping on your front lawn is reading it while defecating on the sidewalk in front of your house.
I always end with it, but I’m saying it now: INSANITY!
Denver City Council had an unanimous vote Monday night to decriminalize the offense of people committing certain low-level crimes like lying in a public right-of-way, urinating in public and panhandling.
City leaders and immigrant rights advocates argued the changes will protect Denver’s immigrant community from facing unintended consequences.
“Many times it becomes a deportable offense if you’ve been convicted of even a minor ordinance violation that’s punishable by a year in jail,” Mark Silverstein said, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado.
Before the vote, all violations of the Denver municipal code were punishable by up to a year in jail and/or a fine of up to $999. The new ordinance creates a brand new sentencing category that carries out different penalties. Most municipal offenses will carry a maximum of 300 days in jail and up to a $999 fine. The new ordinance creates “Class 1” and “Class 2” offenses.
Class 2 offenses, which carry a maximum 60-day jail sentence and no fine.
Sitting or lying in the public right-of-way
Unauthorized camping on public or private property prohibited
Urinating or defecating in public
Panhandling
Curfews and closures
Storage and loading
Prohibitions
Solicitation on or near street or highway
The “class 2” offenses as so-called “quality of life” offenses that often impact the homeless community.
That’s the latest from the progressive city that seeks to ensure it “will not sacrifice” its “values or bend to a broken immigration system.”
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock (D) and some of the city officials explained that the new ordinances are designed to protect immigrants, legal and illegal, from “unintended consequences.”
These consequences were fines and longer jail terms, as has been customary in most places for violating the behavioral norms of civilized American society.
Mark Silverstein, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, explains the real reason behind the changes: “Many times it becomes a deportable offense if you’ve been convicted of even a minor ordinance violation that’s punishable by a year in jail.”
Denver is considering declaring itself a sanctuary city in defiance of President Trump’s policies on illegal immigrants. But by redefining lawbreaking and its possible penalties, these new Denver laws accomplish much of the same without risking loss of federal funds.
“Usually the defendants are very poverty stricken, maybe even homeless,” Mark Silverstein said.
When Colorado decriminalized marijuana, that was one thing. Whether or not I agree with that decision, I understand the reasoning behind it. But this?
“Last night, City Council voted to approve major sentencing reform and joined my Administration in sending a clear message that we will not sacrifice our values or bend to a broken immigration system.” Denver Mayor Michael Hancock
I am sorry, but even a poverty stricken person is free to use a public restroom. In fact, many private businesses will even allow it. How many times have you gone to a Starbucks and seen a homeless person occupy one of the sofas? I can count at least ten times that I’ve witnessed it, right off the top of my head.
If a person does not have the cognition to use a public facility, then he or she is likely under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or is mentally ill, and therefore should not be on the streets to begin with.
Denver used to be a great clean city. Now that the liberals have a stranglehold on it, and it will literally go into the crapper. Pun intended.
Yes, again…INSANITY!
“It is Now Legal to Defecate and Urinate on Denver Sidewalks! What???”
Why not? Denver is already a shithole.
“If I am passing through Denver it is okay for me to stopped and drop a load on one of their sidewalks. “
No, they can put you in jail for 60 days.
“The headline is grossly misleading. It is not legal to defecate and urinate on sidewalks. They lowered the penalty from a year in jail to 60 days in jail.”
In this case, the penalty for public urination/defecation was reduced to below the 1-year threshold, so illegal aliens caught relieving themselves in public will not be subject to deportation.
I think cultural sensitivity demands concessions, and dropping a deuce on the sidewalk should be the least we can do to contribute to diversity.
Liberals are like a cloud of locusts. They descend, destroy, move to next target.
A biblical plague of incredibly stupid humans.
It is still against the law to pee on the sidewalk in Denver.
Damn. Now I'll never be senator.
To help curb Tuberculosis many cities passes a law against spitting on the sidewalk.
I’m pushing as many liberals as I can out of Cal but conservative retirees leave too.
I would pay every bum I saw on the street $5 to go to the City Hall and take a dump on the sidewalk in front.
Society is changing...all cultures are NOT created equal....
Our culture won’t be recognizable if we keep up the ‘tolerance’....
Let me tell you what has happened to the most northern California county this last year...over 3000 Hmong refugees moved in to an area of only about 15,000 people..they don’t speak English, they crap on the land, refuse to install septics etc. like we natives have to and basically tell the sheriff to pound sand if he doesn’t like it. The ACLU sues the county and they can’t afford to fight them. They bought bare land in our subdivision when Calif legalized weed...just being good entrepreneurs...doncha know...so all our membership fees went up because we have to hire INTERPRETERS!
WELCOME TO AMERICA.
everybody should go crap in front of city hall...
Ok, marijuana and public defecation. Sounds like a perfect place to live /s.
Hope they crap at Starbuck entryways
The Hard Left is hell-bent upon turning America into a Third World shit-hole...literally.
Kate Steinle is murdered by an illegal alien, thus eliminating an entire bloodline. California is using taxpayers’ money to subsidize more illegals to flood the border to take her stillborn progeny’s place.
More Islamic terrorists were brought in under Obamanation, and they promptly commenced robbing, raping and slaughtering us.
At the same time, the Left is doing everything they can to get us to bugger and abort ourselves out of existence.
What is the point?
They lust for a modern-day Antebellum South, in which they are lording over a brown horde who hails from places where corruption is the norm and questioning authority is hazardous to one’s health.
The Left is happy that their new ideal citizens are breeding like cockroaches while we are being engulfed in poverty, disease, crime and terrorism.
I wonder what Denver's leaders would say about that.
"It's not cultural appropriation when we do it."
“City leaders and immigrant rights advocates argued the changes will protect Denver’s immigrant community from facing unintended consequences.”
And liberals wonder why people are not happy about immigrants.
I’ll bypass Denver on my next trip west ... end
Yeah, but liberals are apparently happy with them.
In San Francisco they are allowed to kill white girls for free.
Par for the course in the world of histrionic conservative media. We get as much fake news from the right as we do from the NYT/WaPo...
Daily pressure cleaning of the Seattle City Hall building surrounding sidewalks.
