How pathetic is it when a city has to take this action?

[aardvark1]

Ah, San Francisco...what a city!

Violators will be subject to fines up to $500.

Threaten the the homeless with a fine of $500 to make them stop?

Yeah, that'll work. Liberals are so stupid.

I wonder how much more we are paying for these creeps now compared to the mental hospitals the lawyers made us close.

Vaguely related topic: A few years ago, in an experimental move designed to help pedestrians who otherwise had nowhere to relieve themselves, the City of New York installed these wonderful public toilets that self-cleaned themselves with scalding water after every use. (Thus removing the filth that typtically accumulates in such facilities.) They were right on the sidewalk and hooked into the water main. The masses loved 'em. Of course, the political left sued because the toilets were not handicapped accessible, and the City, rather than fight the monsters in court, simply got rid of all the johns. Chalk another one up for the Democrats.

Will this law have any effect on the policy of urinating on the Clinton LIEbrary in Little Rock?

Hold on a minute - the First Amendment specifically protects peeing on the wall as a form of free speech. It's one o' them "penumbra" thingies.

Heck, call it "performance art" and you'll get a gummint grant to do it. Some people just don't know how to play the angles...

Unless it's a golden shower.

So . . . they're going to fine homeless people. That's pretty funny.

"...and it was expected to be signed by Mayor Willie Brown before going into effect in 30 days..."

Oh,sure he will.I doubt that.All these years and they have to pass a law for it?As if that's going to deter anyone up there.NO it won't.But in true liberal fashion,they have allowed themselves to "Feel Good" about passing a law that is in fact common sense for the rest of the country.They should be embarrassed.
