What's happened to my home state?

Denver just decriminalized public defecation in order to make life easier for immigrants and the homeless.

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.

It is Now Legal to Defecate and Urinate on Denver Sidewalks! What???

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.

Yes, Sanctuary.



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!

Well, it's better than San Francisco, cause the crap is sometimes frozen in Denver. I fled in '87. Of course, I had to transfer to San Francisco to do it. I finally escaped in 93.

How about protecting citizens? How's that for a novel concept?

Although this is plausible given Denver's politics, is it true?

Immigrants from Turd World countries? Sorry.

Rhetorical question/rant: what happened to immigrants learning the customs - and language - of their new country?

Comrade, please report to Gulag 451 for re-education training.

So, when you encourage massive amounts of immigrants, unchecked, from third world countries, they bring diseases like tuberculosis and nasty habits with them and drag down first world communities instead of being lifted into first world living?

Wow, who could have seen this coming?

Does this mean dog owners in Denver no longer need to clean up after their pooches?

Another real good idea™️ from the idiot leftists running the show in Colorado.

Of course not!

Denver has become the rectal opening of that beautiful state. Sadly! But then many years ago when we were stationed at Ft. Carson, we had to go to Denver to get some paperwork done. I think that was in 1961. Beginning to show it shitty conditions even then. No pun intended.

Decriminalizing the offense isn't the issue. Courts and jails have better things to do. address why it's happening. But they won't ignore it and hope no one notices.

I'm thankful I'm many miles away from the cesspool that is Denver but I'm still only 45 minutes away.
My family and I have been talking about relocating to a better area (WY, TX, NE, etc) and get away from the population explosion here. Looks like our plans might get accelerated.

You do know this happened a year ago right? I'm not a big fan of it, but I also haven't noticed piles o crap downtown either, like I did in Portland, recently.

Related. About a week ago, my wife and I met with our insurance agent to review our policies. Our agent had reviewed our coverage prior to the meeting and had several suggestions, i.e. increase homeowner’s insurance to better reflect its value, make some changes in wife’s Jeep and our other car.

During the course of the meeting the subject of uninsured drivers came up. She told us that in Cheyenne, 1 in 7 drivers is uninsured. She went on to say that in Denver the uninsured motorist rate is 1 in 3.2! Understand, this is not the entire Denver Metro area, the suburbs are probably similar to Cheyenne’s rate. She went on to say that the high rate of uninsured is similar to the 1 in 3 rate of the border country of Texas and Arizona.

Turns out, only 3 states monitor drivers for maintaining coverage year-round. I believe California is one,...Ohio?...don’t remember.

Part of this equation, no doubt, is the illegal immigrant drivers. Denver (and Colorado in general) have a much larger illegal population than Cheyenne, I'm sure. No insurance, no drivers license, etc. I imagine our rates reflect this too!

Can you believe this shit?

Hey you guys, quit dumping on Denver!

Likely to mean that the Dogs will have to pick up their owners poop.

Downtown Portland is a freakin’ mess. Was there for 24 hrs and that’s all I could take.
