An LGBTQ+ center is frustrated that a man giving them crap doesn’t face arrest
A man has been leaving dog poop at the Mi Centro LGBTQ Community Center in Boyle Heights. Frustrated members have been left collecting and disposing poop from the awning in front of the center. They believe that this represents fecal vandalism against them. The center posted an image of dog poop on Facebook. They managed to capture, on video, someone they suspect is responsible for tossing the poop onto the awning. However, the Lost Angeles Police told them that this did not meet arrest standards.
From Blaze Media:
The Los Angeles Police Department has angered officials of the Latino Equality Alliance after saying that a man flinging bags of poop at their center is not criminally prosecutable.
Members of the Mi Centro LGBTQ Community Center in Boyle Heights have been cleaning up small bags of dog poop being deposited at the center for months. They say it’s an expression of hate-filled fecal vandalism against the LGBTQ community.
In August, the center posted an image of the dog poop in a post on Facebook that called the acts “abhorrent” as well as “unacceptable.” Some of the poop was tossed onto the awning in front of the center.
Months later, a suspect was identified with the aid of surveillance video, but police reportedly told the center that the dog poop deposits “do not meet the threshold for criminal prosecution.” Because the man has left poop inside of bags, it only meets the far lower standard of a littering infraction.
“This ‘legal loophole’ has left the center and its youth vulnerable to continued harassment without consequence,” reads a statement from the center.
LEA Executive Director Eddie Martinez told the media that police needed “substantial evidence” to prove the acts constituted a hate crime.
“They said a bag of poop is not enough to be arrested,” Martinez lamented.

How do they know it’s “dog” poop?
Haha I was thinking the exact same thing!
Hey, it is California…
Taste 💩
Good thing we don’t step in it…IYKYK
That was a Halloween prank when I was a kid.
Light a bag of poop on fire and the homeowner
would come out and stomp on it.
We did the same thing on the persons stoop, rang the door bell and ran. Had the socks full of crushed up sidewalk chalk great for hitting other trickor treaters. plus the pea shooters.
Beat me to the punch. 🤣
Ahhh, the humor of my yute!
Was on the USS Haynsworth DD 700 Sumner Class can for my Inactive Navy reserve cruise and the head had a long horse trough with dividers and seats with constant sea water flowing from one end to the other so whoever came in to take a dump, they would sit at the end empty bowl where the flowing water started and when their were a number of guys siting there, he would make a ball out of shit paper and light it on fire and drop it into the water. Got a lot of laughs.
Chong: Taste like dog shit.
Cheech: Good thing we didn’t step in it, huh?🤣
At least I got the poop from reading the article
“They said a bag of poop is not enough to be arrested”
I guess Jacob Frey is safe then.
As opposed to the human feces on the Los Angeles city sidewalks?
Bet you that if you start throwing bags of dog poop onto the front steps of the LAPD headquarters, they’ll come up with a reason to arrest you PDQ.
Like when the San Francisco Police Department immediately dispatched a car to arrest the guy dropping a Monkress on the sidewalk in front of Nancy Pelosi’s house
My neighbor’s dog craps in my yard but I don’t give him
any shit about it as long as he doesn’t light it on fire.
So, the expression “That shit won’t fly here” is not applicable in this situation?
Wrong is wrong. I doubt there is a statute but this is tacky behavior.
Yeah, it’s wrong. Still funny as shit, though!
What’s this about vulnerable youth? No grooming going on here. Nope, none.
‘…has left the center and its youth vulnerable…’
WTF? he’s probably going.
A bag of dog feces? Are they sure that it is not an artwork created by Robert Mapplethorpe?
That wouldn’t be a problem since Mapplethorpe was gay as the day is long.
Maybe created by Hunter Biden?
TAKE 1:
Hey, it’s just some OTHER pervert inviting the Center’s perverts to some scat play.
Why are they kink shaming?
TAKE 2:
Wait, what? The sodomite groomers are offended by some poop?
