The following report is by The Epoch Times:
A city in Wyoming has been overwhelmed with a growing number of homeless people, who have damaged a local hotel that would require millions of dollars to fix and left hundreds of pounds of human feces in the downtown area, according to its mayor.
Casper Mayor Bruce Knell, in an interview with local news media Cowboy State Daily published on Aug. 31, said the city’s homeless population had topped about 200 people, creating “a mess” as they roam the city’s parks and streets.
It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen. It’s third-world country stuff happening in Casper, Wyoming.
They destroyed everything. It’s horrible.
Mr. Knell said.
Casper is Wyoming’s second most populous city, with a population of nearly 60,000, second behind the state’s capital, Cheyenne.
According to the mayor, the city’s vacant Econo Lodge motel, which had been closed due to flooding, was taken over by homeless people, who caused millions in destruction.
Pictures of the motel rooms published by the outlet show trash, towels, and bed sheets littered across the floors.
The city subsequently condemned the motel, and the bank that owned the property had to board it up to prevent homeless people from entering.
“It was inhabitable, and it was unsafe,” Mr. Knell said.
Other homeless people have moved into abandoned properties with no electricity or running water, the mayor said.
Many homeless people loiter in the city’s downtown area, the mayor added, leaving behind about 500 pounds of human feces that city staffers cleaned up. The loiterers have occupied parks and bike paths, while others choose to sleep in their cars, Mr. Knell added.
“In desperate times, people do desperate things, and unfortunately, we’re the ones left having to deal with it,” he said, adding the homeless population was responsible for some of the city’s crimes.
We know very well we cannot litigate our way or arrest our way out of the problem, but our police need some teeth to start dealing with the squatting. They’re just causing so many problems.
Mr. Knell said.
The mayor explained that there has always been a small population of homeless people in Casper, given the existence of Wyoming Rescue Mission, a homeless shelter founded in 1978. As a result, the problem with the current growing homeless population lies with those deciding to stay in the city after either failing to get admitted into the shelter or getting kicked out of it, according to Mr. Knell.
There’s a certain part of the homeless population, whether substance abuse or mental illness, that is getting them to where they don’t want to conform to society’s rules. When they do that, they’re not allowed to go in the shelter, which means they’re just out and about in our community raising hell.
Mr. Knell said.
There have been some legislative proposals to tackle the homeless problem, the mayor added, and the city council could vote on them as soon as Sept. 5.
These proposals include modifying the city code that requires suspected squatters to get written consent from a property owner and establishing a time limit on how long they could stay on private property, according to Cowboy State Daily.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
As Gerald Celente of The Trends Journal often says, “When people lose everything, and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.”
All across and throughout the U.S. homelessness and deep poverty is being seen and felt; but this is only the beginning, as I have continued to warn about. This is nothing. When the economy in the U.S. finally is allowed to implode and self-destruct, then the cities in all 50 states will quickly turn into something like a zombie apocalypse.
They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
Lamentations 4:5
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Wow! And Wyoming is a conservative state supposedly correct?
Btw, if you have a smart phone, I have a brother in Cincinnati who will turn it off at 2:20 PM and then back on at 3:00 PM. Just a typical precaution, I’m not scared and paranoid, just alerted.
Is it just me or is anyone else gross out right now? oh well it’s only going to get worse.
Well yes, most people would be grossed out even with cast-iron stomachs.
However, it is just and yes it will get worse. It’s coming to Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio, Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, Delaware and many more. Cities that were major prosperity powerhouses will soon have the lights go out and tent towns are going to pop up like daisies in the spring.
It sure is fun times were living in.
Fun in a unique way, as we, at least myself, saw the writing on the wall, and the ONLY way to be totally protected as well as be promised Heaven and to be in the catching up is to Repent and the King James Bible.
There’s only 200 of them?
Well put them on a bus to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Sheesh
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Wyoming has always been a massive shit hole.
Who the hell lives in Wyoming?
Go to Florida, Texas or Arizona.
