Turd Reich: San Francisco dog owners lay minefield of poo for rightwing rally

When a group of far-right activists come to San Francisco to hold a rally this Saturday, they will be met by peace activists offering them flowers to wear in their hair.

Also, dog shit. Lots and lots of dog shit.

I just had this image of alt-right people stomping around in the poop,” Tuffy Tuffington said of the epiphany he had while walking Bob and Chuck, his two Patterdale terriers, and trying to think of the best way to respond to rightwing extremists in the wake of Charlottesville. “It seemed like a little bit of civil disobedience where we didn’t have to engage with them face to face.”

Tuffington, a 45-year-old artist and designer, created a Facebook event page based on the concept, and the dog owners of San Francisco responded in droves. Many have declared their intention to stockpile their shitpiles for days in advance, then deliver them in bags for the site. (The group is also planning to reconvene on Sunday to “clean up the mess and hug each other”.)

He is raising money for ten local organizations that reflect the diversity of San Francisco, including the Transgender Law Center, Disability Rights and Education Defense Fund, and Muslim Advocates. A similar Wunsiedel-inspired effort has been launched by Jewish Bar Association of San Francisco, which has raised more than $100,000 for the the Southern Poverty Law Center under the banner “Adopt-a-Nazi”.

2. Disrespectful to other parkgoers

That cleanup will be impossible.

Just cause you think you have a clever protest idea, it doesn't mean you do.

[padfun]

15. I agree

This is NOT a good idea.

3. Tuffy Tuffington? hmmmm,.

Now we all know what happened to the supporting characters in Tales Of The City.

FFS, San Francisco when I was young had Love, Peace and Hippies; now - under Mr Burns Mark 2 - it is known for dog turds and Silicon Valley caricatures.

4. Stupid move

They just fouled a public space with dog feces. If they are going to clean this dog feces up after the protest great but somehow I doubt they will. No. Instead they have taken a legitimate counter-protest and turned it into an act of vandalism.

11. Knowing San Franciscans they will clean it up after the Nazis stomp through goose stepping

in a pile a poo and after the Nazis whine until all the dogs that can only hear that decibel level of crying can hear. I can imagine how they will sob and moan about their level of victimization 'casue those awful liberal leftists called them out as the POS's they are.

I hope they follow through with the poo patrol, then turn around and clean it up after the Nazi shit has been laid down.

23. My hope too. Nt

5. Take it to the next step? Instead of throwing bricks, rocks or stones at these assholes...turds!

[El Mimbreno]

14. Close encounter of the turd kind?

Yay San Francisco! Even their dogs know the scoop.

9. Akin to deregulation

with pollution everywhere

12. Harvvey Milk's most significant law is the "Pooper Scooper" at the time Noe Valley and the Castro

was inundated with dog doo. Harvey got it passed. I'm sure Tuffy Tuffington is as vigilant in real life as he is on his facebook event page.

Here's Mr. Milk explaining the law.

17. Usually I adhere to the old proverb that says before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes

In this case, however, I will definitely take a pass.

18. Hilarious. I'd add some glitter

So wherever they go everyone knows who they are.

19. If we can coordinate this large a response why not simply use up all the available parking spaces.

If the bozos can't park nearby they can't organize to protest. Can you imagine them riding on BART?

[csziggy]

22. That is part of the overall resistance to the Nazis!

From the link in the OP: "There will also be contingents of clowns, kayakers, cars, and kids – all hoping to use their particular strengths (humor, seaworthiness, the ability to monopolize parking spaces, and cuteness, respectively) to thumb their noses at hate."

[moosewhisperer]

20. sh*t-for-brains

Look, I'm as anti-alt-reich as they come, but this particular group has strongly voiced their intent to exclude any Nazis, white supremacists, KKK, etc., including specifically calling out racist agitators like Richard Spencer. Just let them have their little gathering and be gone. Protest at the actual event and expose any hate-speech that way. Why instigate? It's a sh*tty thing to do.

[Alameda]

24. Although it does seem fully, it's a terrible and stupid idea

It will be impossible to clean up and will linger for a long time, probably killing vegetation and spreading disease.

[AntiFascist]

26. Maybe they should bring horses through as well...

after all, Trump seems to be in deep doo doo.

27. read earlier the Republicans canceled their San Fran hate rally & just some TV interview is planned
