This is the modern day left in action. Pure insanity. Seattle has a human feces problem on their streets and sidewalks. But the city council cannot agree on how to remove the crap. (Photo) 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

"Can't use power washers since hoses were used against blacks in the past".
Elects morons, and don't be surprised when they act, well, moronic. In this case, don't blame the morons. Blame the people that elected them.

Power washers used against blacks? I thought it was fire hoses. Now hoses are bad.
On any given day, all across America and the world, power washers are being used for all kinds of cleanup. When did their use become “racist”?

Here’s an idea that should make Larry feel better: Have black guys - and maybe a few black women, for equality’s sake - operating the power washers. Give THEM the power of the power washer. Mo’ bettah?

Councilmember Larry Gossett must become apoplectic whenever the Fire Dept. puts out a structure fire with hoses. Can this guy be for real?

They can get it off the sidewalks. But what about that which adorns the City Council? Only the voters can do that - unfortunately.

That's right up there with "Guam is going to tip over if we put a few more people on the island". I have a suggestion for where to stick the power-washer hose.

When dysentry breaks out, will he call it racist as well since balcks have had dysentry in the past? Orsince every race has had dysentry, will he celebrate the diversity of dysentry?

I guess they should also let houses burn down, since fire hoses are racist.

If they wish to remove the crap from sidewalks, here is one solution....remove the 'crappers.' Grab them by the collar and have them clean up their own messes. If a hose is too sensitive for their delicate sensitivities, give them a mop and a bucket with lots of disinfectant in the water.

Perhaps we can use another successful model of the lefty cultists. I hereby propose the city council set aside funds for fecal by-backs. Turn in your assault turds and get more money for your drug habit. How's that for motivation?

Pinheaded 'progressives' are trying to paralyze their adversaries by finding ways to characterize everything they do as 'racist'.
My concern about power washing is that it could effectively turn the crap into a feces aerosol that can be inhaled by passers-by.

There is a reason those of us who live east of the Cascades call Seattle “The Far-Side.” And do you know the worst thing about Seattle? Democrats can see enough votes from the Space Needle to win any statewide race.

Seattle is being governed by some real stupid Leftists right now. First off numpties, it was the old fire hoses that were used back in the day. Power washers remove filth and dirt, which is what you on the Left obviously love to live in, as well as wallow in.
This is also why we need to either seriously cut the program back, or totally get rid of the H1B visa program. Microsoft is real big up there, and has hired a whole lot from India, to the detriment of the rest of us at the moment. I don't believe most Seattle citizens want to live in New Delhi, but that is what Seattle is turning into.

Don't they have laws forbidding dumping human waste down storm drains. Most coastal state cities have laws that prohibits dumping any kind of waste into storm drains. If they are going to hose down the streets the water usually goes into a storm drain. Here in CA they have printing on the drains near the ocean that say do not dump waste, drain leads to the ocean. If you own a boat or a RV they would nail you for dumping your holding tank down a drain. The only waste water that goes to the ocean is the treated sewage water or if you have a boat, you have to go out at least 3 miles from the coast.

I guess a black liberal would let his house burn down, rather than putting out the fire with a "racist" hose and "racist" pressurized water.
Does this idiocy never end?
A few months ago, I saw how some perpetual victims had called out Hobby Lobby for selling cotton bolls on a stem. It was offensive to blacks, apparently. I guess black people are too offended to wear cotton clothing and also believe that no white person ever picked cotton. The level of ignorance in this country is appalling.

Remember David Wallace of The Office? He invented a gadget to pick up toys - he named the gadget SuckIt.
They could use that in Seattle.
And it would have special meaning in San Francisco.

I guess that if lawns are racist, hoses must be too.
I just can’t imagine living my life with a mindset like Gossett’s. How do you wake up every morning knowing that you’re going to be ticked off all day over some imaginary slight?

Idiots. If you are offended by hoses, get out there with a pooper scooper and shovel, but where do you plan to dump it?
Trouble with a pressure washer is somebody needs a mask so they aren't breathing it in.
Begging you to bring back the draft.

Democrat Politicians turned hoses on Blacks in the past... what party is in charge in Seattle?
Hard to remember but I'm sure the Black population in Seattle helped elected them.
