From "Madison breaking up homeless encampment at Reindahl Park" (Wisconsin State Journal).
८ डिसेंबर, २०२१
"On Monday, a partially eaten full turkey at one abandoned site had two hypodermic needles sticking from it and needles were easy to spot elsewhere."
"'It’s a public health concern... We don’t want needles being covered up by the snow. We are trying to get ahead of the weather.'"

Now, even the turkeys are mainlining.
Worse case of drug abuse by a turkey in Madison ever! Still, it's surprising the city council isn't setting up a needle exchange program for turkeys instead of destroying the turkey shooting gallery.
On the bright side, it was a cold turkey.
That's not a hypodermic, that's a flavor injector!
What snow? Maybe they should employ a weather man.
Life in Liberalville.
If they only had shooting galleries this wouldn't be an issue.
"breaking up homeless encampment" is quite a different thing from "putting homeless somewhere safe where incidentally they don't bother the rest of us."
Here in Austin, after a voter referendum was required to force the City Council to stop homeless "camping" everywhere, such as under highway overpasses, the City Council moved the homeless tent slums to city property, i.e., public parks. This resulted in about 30 tent dwellers being moved from under the 7th Street bridge at Pleasant Valley Road, all of two blocks to the verges of a flood control canal on Pleasant Valley Road, making the situation not at all better for those living in homes nearby. The Austin City Council is intent on sharing the homeless with everyone else in the city, voters opinion be damned. Be prepared for your local "advocates for the homeless" to perform similarly.
So now we have to worry about turkey junkies?

Well, I don't think even the most frantically signaling Prog is too worried about the "safe" part.
In a rare display of good sense, Olympia allowed a Tweakerville to establish itself on the wrong side of the tracks (or Deschutes Parkway). This has served to draw off much of the street-camping from the downtown. Sure, it's unsightly if you're over that way, but it's easy to ignore otherwise. And it makes a nice centralized area for social redeemers to do their thing.
I understand that people have a legal right to live outdoors but do they have the legal right to live wherever they want? People must own property to build there. Why is it different for temporary housing (tents, etc.) than for permanent housing? The obvious solution here would be to zone the homeless out of urban areas. Why isn’t that being done?
Basting a turkey with the "warm, buttery love" of heroin, to quote yesterday's post. From a Madison homeless camp, coming to a hipster foodie bistro near you.
Don't feed homeless
junkie racoons.
SF sees this problem the SF way. First of all, call them unhoused, to pointedly point the way to the only possible solution. Thus, in the Chronicle:
"Last year, for example, city officials turned Civic Center Plaza into a “safe sleeping site,” installing tents for 262 unhoused people. Each tent cost the city $61,000..." Even a super high-end command center or field hospital tent - 40ft x 20 ft - is 'only' $44,000. Michael Shellenberger's SF book is a welcome take on this city's willful denial of the true causes of people living on its streets.
"A partially eaten full turkey". What an odd way of putting it. Why say its a "Full Turkey"?
As opposed to what? A partially eaten empty turkey?
An empty turkey, living a life without meaning.
And so, the drug use.
Perhaps the turkey could qualify for one of Sasha's art grants.
Bob Boyd at 7:16. Winner, Winner, Turkey Dinner!
Be kind to the junkies for they are ultimately dead meat. Rock n roll suicide. Imagine the air quality in the shooting gallery.
