Why didn’t they just give him a ticket for loitering? It is as stupid a regulation as public urination. Dogs seemingly do it all the time without any civil rancor.

When you gotta go, you gotta go. With all the security on some college campuses these days it is often difficult, as a non-student non-staff person to gain entry into a building without an ID card to swipe at the doorway to get in and find a bathroom.

One has to wonder what he was doing there in the first place.

4

Loitering.

In Ohio, public urination or public defecation are loosely defined, in that if you are caught urinating or defecating in public you will most likely be charged with a disorderly conduct violation….you may face severe, life-changing consequences if you were close to a school, playground, or child care center at the time of the alleged offense.

The following are circumstances which may constitute public urination / defecation:

On any sort of publicly owned property such as a sidewalk, street, park, alley or yard;
On a wall, floor, doorway, hall, staircase, or any other kind of physical property that is not intended for use as a restroom in a building that is publicly owned or open to for public use;
Any place on private property that is not intended for use a restroom.

Probably used to pissing on the people and forgot he’s a former mayor.

He was spared a trip in the back of a cruiser, his pooty-pants dance tipping off police a warning would suffice.

10

Clear-cut case of religious freedom being violated.

He worships green plants, which produce oxygen that we require to live. He was giving back to the green plants the nitrogen that they need to live.

Future Flomax spokesman.

He has a really interesting and accomplished history as mayor of Akron, a 7-term 41 year service.

“Plusquellic” would be hell spelling out in the snow. That’s two 40s at least.

Awwwwwwwww

Give the A-hole a break…He was demonstating the closely held tenets of ‘trickle-down’ theory

That was really John Cornyn they arrested for whizzing on the tree. He just told them he was Plusquellic, and the resemblance is close enough that the cops bought it.
