Councilman Argues Power Washers are Racist, Since Hoses Used Against Blacks in Past

Seattle has a human feces problem on their streets and sidewalks. But the city council cannot agree on how to remove the crap.

Councilmember Larry Gossett

Councilmember Larry Gossett says power-washing the sidewalks bring up images of using hoses against civil rights activists.

The Seattle News reported:

Some committee members expressed concern about addressing the symptoms of the area’s problems without getting to the cause. Councilmember Larry Gossett said he didn’t like the idea of power-washing the sidewalks because it brought back images of the use of hoses against civil-rights activists.

Another council member, Claudia Balducci, suggested that the county consider using social-service employees in partnership with police.

How about having people getting down on their hands and knees with scrub brushes and buckets? Nah, they would look like washerwomen and many of them were black in the plantations of the south. Can’t have that.

Or, they would look like the Baltimore housewives from the days before it became a s***h*** city.

Power washers are racist? Must have gone to one of those liberal schools to learn that.

Larry Gossett is a leftist from way back, and he’s gotten a lot fatter over the years.

From full of $H1T to surrounded and covered in it. Fitting for such mental losers.

What a nice photo of Baltimore from the day when cities were civilized places where civilized people and their families could live in peace. Look at how clean that city is! No litter, no graffiti, perfectly maintained houses, nicely dressed people. What changed?

Or another famous young lady...

How about some citizens getting together and collecting all the crap they can and dumping it on this guy’s sidewalk?

Perhaps he could figure out how to clean that up?

First thing I would do is to get rid of this loser Larry Gossett, who has the triggering mechanism of an 18 year old snowflake who's been micro-aggressed.

If this guy passes for leadership in Seattle, no wonder they have crappola all over their city to clean up.

He's not the solution. He's the problem.

And they probably have all kinds of ordinances that make it a crime to refer to someone by a pronoun that matches their birth gender. Or a crime to help, say, ICE agents, in identifying illegals for deportation. And I am guessing they have turned some methods of actual garbage control for the actual tax-paying homeowners into crimes, as well.

But no crimes for those who use the public streets as toilets.

I guess it would be racist to attempt to explain to the esteemed councilman that pressure washers are not actually racist. How else will those racists put out the fire if his house is burning?

It is rather funny and ironic how these liberal hellholes are starting to have the very middle middle age type problems of crap on the streets and disheleved people on the streets it’s really quite hilarious to watch actually

And now in typical liberal fashion they’re like “
oh no we can’t clean it up that would be racist!”

Just tase the people crapping on the sidewalk then rub their nose in it. They didn't have tasers back when hoses were being used against people.
