This was flung over the Granville street bridge. A bag of of human feces, ladies and gentlemen. Yup, that is what the residents of the Granville street bridge area have resorted to…

It is important that we all understand that this is not a random act of vandalism or teenage hi-jinx… This is hate. Pure and simple. Xenophobic and gentrified in it’s intent. There are people living in the best rated city in the world flinging shit at people trying to survive in the shelters below. But, as you will see, they are at war to stay open against those very inconspicuous Fecal Fiends….
