It would suck to be homeless, but it’s also a free-for-all — you can shoot up illegal drugs in the park, although the city would ask that you dispose of the needles in the collection bins they put up. Or maybe you’ll smoke some crack in a glass pipe that the federal government definitely did not include in its safe-smoking kits. You can also relieve yourself anywhere you want: the park, the sidewalk, anywhere.
Denver news anchor Kyle Clark scolded mayoral candidate Andy Rougeot for calling 911 on a homeless drug addict who dropped his pants in front of his 3-year-old and defecated in the park. Why is he opposed to adding more public restrooms to the city?
NEW: @AndyforDenver is a business owner, veteran, and only Republican running for Denver Mayor. He often tells a story of calling 9-1-1 on someone relieving themselves in a park. I asked about his opposition to other candidates' proposals to add more public restrooms. #copolitics pic.twitter.com/FdthkmzB5o

The homeless man on drugs exposing himself and defecating in a children's park in front of my 3-year-old daughter wasn't doing it because he couldn't find a public restroom #COPolitics #Denver https://t.co/mzpqMcVhjf

Truth.
Oooh, so another “reporter” that never goes outside to investigate “real life.” That figures…. 🙄

Where do you live Kyle? Do you have a nice lawn?

If a bum was taking a dump on Kyle Clark's front lawn he'd probably run and grab his wife and kid to watch and espouse to them the beauty and virtues of living in a progressive/liberal society 😂😂

The answer is obviously more public restrooms — which would remarkably end up costing an exorbitant amount because the city would be in charge of constructing them. Progressives always have ideas to help the homeless stay homeless, but more comfortably.
