Bruce Knell, the Mayor of Casper, Wyoming, is claiming that homeless squatters destroyed a motel in the city and left hundreds of pounds of feces on city streets.
This is the sort of story one expects to hear about places like San Francisco, not a red state like Wyoming.
The homeless population in Casper is very small, but they sure did a lot of damage.

Squatters ravage Wyoming downtown with stomach-turning result: mayor
Homeless squatters in Casper, Wyoming, “destroyed” a local motel, which would require millions of dollars to repair, and left hundreds of pounds of human feces in the downtown area, according to the city’s mayor.
“It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen. It’s third-world-country stuff happening in Casper, Wyoming,” Mayor Bruce Knell told the Cowboy State Daily last week.
Casper is Wyoming’s second-most populous city, with just shy of 60,000 residents while the city’s homeless population is about 200 people, according to Knell.
The mayor said homeless individuals moved into a vacant Econo Lodge motel and left it with millions of dollars of repairs. Others have moved into abandoned homes with no running water or electricity.
“They destroyed everything,” he said. “It’s horrible.”

Unlike San Francisco, the people of Wyoming are probably not going to put with this.
