Homeless destroy motel in Wyoming city, leave about 500 pounds in feces on streets: mayor

A city in Wyoming has been overrun with an unprecedented homeless 
population that’s destroyed a vacant motel and has left hundreds of pounds 
of feces across the area, according to its mayor.

Mayor Bruce Knell detailed the destructive behavior of roughly 200 
homeless people in Casper, WY who have been creating a “mess” throughout 
the streets and parks, as well as a closed motel where squatters left 
millions in property damage.

“They destroyed everything,” he told Cowboy State Daily. “It’s horrible.”

Homeless people who squatted at the Econo Lodge motel caused more damage 
than the flooding that initially closed the business down, Knell 
reportedly said.

The property was condemned by the city and the bank that owns the 
foreclosed business boarded it up.

“It was inhabitable, and it was unsafe,” Knell told Cowboy State Daily.

Other homeless people are squatting in other abandoned properties in 
Casper that don’t have water or electricity.

“It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen,” Knell said. “It’s third-world country 
stuff happening in Casper, Wyoming.”

“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,” he also told the news outlet.

“They’re just causing so many problems.”

Meanwhile, city staff has been forced to scoop up about 500 pounds of 
human feces in Casper’s downtown, where many homeless people loiter, the 
news outlet reported.

Some set up camp in local parks and bike paths, while others sleep in 
their cars.

Some of the crime in the city, Wyoming’s second most populated city, can 
be tied to homeless people, Knell said.

“In desperate times people do desperate things, and unfortunately we’re 
the ones left having to deal with it,” he said.

Some people living on the streets come to Casper for a homeless shelter in 
the city, but when they are kicked out or denied entry, they never leave, 
Knell noted.

“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,” Knell told the Cowboy State Daily.

“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.”

Casper is just one of numerous cities facing a heartbreaking homeless 
problem, including the Big Apple where more than 4,000 people didn’t have 
a roof over their heads during a citywide tally in January.

The figure was nearly an 18% jump from 2022.

The NYC shelter population surpassed 100,000 earlier this year as the city 
continues to take on a flood of arriving migrants.

The owner should take responsibility for their property like I do with 
mine. Lucky they haven't been sued due to an injury or fire that spreads 
to other properties. I would sue if I lived near by for neglect. A basic 
project manager could maintain better. This is rich people pushing their 
responsibilities on to poor. The bank doesn't have money? Or insurance?

The window on turning around this breakdown of our society is quickly 
closing.  

Regardless of who claims to be the "winner" in our elections, In order to 
restore confidence in our elections, no winner should be called until 
every vote is reviewed by election officials from both parties. Every vote 
must to matched to a signature in a registry book where the voter  showed 
ID and signature match, media stick drives and tally sheets must 
correspond to the votes cast, along with ballot accounting forms showing 
the number of paper ballots received from the election board and the 
number used that should match.

Just recounting paper ballots  is just affirming the fraud.  Now the 
winners can be declared and be given a chance to carry through on their 
promises to make things better.  If not rinse and repeat at the next fair 
election.
