Even during the period when the City of Boulder provided several portable toilets along Boulder Creek Path, this disgusting behavior continued because it’s one more way the BUMS can give the finger to society.

Homeless adult survivors of sexual abuse, both men and women, deserve better than being forced to share space with perverts. As a matter of policy, almost all homeless shelters / services providers across the country refuse to permit them on premises.
Boulder Shelter for the Homeless has received payments from the state of Colorado in the past for providing beds to convicted sex offenders on parole, but this doesn’t explain why they would accept registered offenders who are no longer under direct state supervision.
I call it inappropriate compassion, and a blatant disregard of public safety. When I was a homeless camper in the area, I often saw the BSH perverts hanging out in the 4900 block of N. Broadway, sometimes interacting with kids walking to and from the Dakota Ridge neighborhood. They knew that I knew what they were, so no harm came to the innocent in my presence, and I did my best to warn parents of their presence. Of course, Greg Harms and the board members of Boulder Shelter for the Homeless deny there is any danger from their pervert clients.
Why then did they ban this character, David Bland, from residence in their facility at 4869 N. Broadway? (Use that street address to see for yourself how many other registered sex offenders are currently living at BSH.)

Most of ’em have been at BSH off-and-on for many years, and they’re the worst self-entitled and obnoxious individuals you’d ever have the misfortune to meet. I know a few personally, and have even blogged about their drunken escapades out in the neighborhood and elsewhere in the city. Here’s one account I wrote back in 2015.
The progressive do-gooders really have turned my old neighborhood into a ghetto for the worst-behaved transients . . . Never thought I’d say this, but I’m really happier stuck in a nursing home in nearby Thornton, CO.

In fact, during the decade I spent as a homeless camper in the progressive enclave of Boulder, CO I found that I could relate to people of all races and ethnic groups and economic circumstances. Bottom line for me: Every group has a few good people in it, along with a few bad, and most fall somewhere in between perfectly good and irredeemably bad.
Regarding this latest kerfuffle involving Boulder City Council, a reader of my blog left the following comment:
Gee whiz. I’m a Boulder resident, have been since I was 11 years old, in 1980. I went to school here. I found Nagle’s comments consistent with historical fact, and I agree with her that this discussion about “privilege” is onerous. It just divides people. Aren’t progressives constantly talking about “coming together”? From what I’m reading, no one on Council barred people of a different hue, or sex from putting themselves forward as mayor. Two men happened to do so. No women did so. We’ve had female mayors before. So, even if we got one this time around, it would not be some breakthrough.
I was bothered reading the article that the City has been having a relationship with the Government Alliance on Race Equity, with the apparent ideology it’s pushing of calling some people “privileged,” and some not, just based on their genitals and skin color. If people need an education about what is really represented by “equity” in these organizations, I encourage them to listen to what Benjamin Boyce and/or Bret Weinstein have to say about it. It is not what it appears to be for many.
I sincerely mean what I expressed in the title of this post, too. I’m too old and too tired to get angry at FAKE progressives, but that doesn’t mean I’ll permit their wrongheaded notions to go unchallenged . . .
