Starbucks might be happy about this. They may not need to close additional locations due to the ongoing restroom debacles.

Being a bully to the homeless isn’t going to help them, it’s just going to make their lives even worse than they already are.

I don’t think we’re going to end up with a situation where people are relieving themselves all over the place like animals just because we’re not criminally charging people when it happens.
Google POOP MAP. Then come back and talk

Business owners should go take a dump on the steps of the homes of folks who decriminalized this activity.

What the heck does trump have to do with this? He’s living in your head! Trump does not dictate a single thought of mine. I am my own person unlike the sheep of the left (and some on the right) who follow their masters.

You are choosing your ideology over public health. It is that simple. There is no reason to allow anyone to use sidewalks as a restroom. It is unsanitary, can spread disease and just gross.

You have not seen San Francisco in some areas. It is actually that bad with people relieving themselves wherever they want. It is the lax attitude towards behavior that the left has that has gotten us in this mess. Psychology 101: people will only live up to the expectations you have for them. Remove those expectations like the left is doing and this is what you get.

What’s the solution then? Hire a team of pee police to roam the streets arresting people for taking a whiz? Homeless crisis solved

I think the pooping thing is a higher priority, don’t you?

If that is what it takes, yes. Let the public know this behavior will not be tolerated. Now, I doubt a small city like Kalamazoo really needs its own patrol for this, but in bigger cities they do. In fact, some cities have hired crews just to clean up after the homeless. Cleaning after the fact does not discourage this behavior at all. If anything it encourages it.

San Francisco is now nicknamed "Poo city" for all of the human excrement all over public walkways and parks. It's disgusting what has happened to that city. And Pelosi wants to do the same thing to the rest of the country? Oh, hells no.

I'm so fed up with the homeless problems that I'm about at the point where we send in crews of thugs and tell them to play the knock out game every time they see a homeless guy taking a dump on the street.

Kidding not kidding.
