Mysterious 60lbs Of Dog Poop Dumped In Front Of Oakland School


The streets of Oakland have long had a problem with illegal dumping, but the latest incident takes it to a whole new vile level. KRON 4 reports that last week someone dropped off roughly 60 pounds of dog poop in front of a local elementary school — where it sat for five days.
And while yes, the fecal matter in question is believed to be from dogs, we can be sure it was a human that did the dumping.
“The issue of illegal dumping in Oakland is becoming worse as gentrification marches forward,” wrote the East Oakland Beautification Council. “This heinous act only illustrates how badly Illegal dumping is occurring in Oakland.”
Ken Houston discovered the pile of crap, and, after putting cones around it, shot a video both expressing his frustration and calling the dumping, which took place right in front of Stonehurst Elementary School, “a crime against our children.”

I gotta be honest here; I’m not mad about this move. I’m on the record as saying that my needle of concern doesn’t begin to budge until there’s triple digit numbers of dog poop.

Is 60lbs of dog poop around the school troublesome? Sure. But, it’s not a crime. I don’t think that having piles and piles of poop on the street is indicative of a community going to shit. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I think this is a no harm, no foul situation.

But seriously, my favorite part of this #DogPoopGate is that these fuckers let the dog poop sit there for 5 days. You are indignant on video and doing interviews, but NO ONE can grab a shovel and take the poop to the woods? No one? I mean, I wouldn’t do it. I’d let the rain wash it away over the course of a few months, but these people are lazy.
