Too Bad We Didn't Get to See (or Smell) It

By canceling today's demonstrations in San Francisco, the right-wing group Patriot Prayer did left-wing groups and the City itself (or is that redundant?) a big favor. For if there's one thing crazier than the speech of white supremacists, it's the reaction to it. Case in point, the dog poop counter-protest:

Hundreds of San Franciscans plan to prepare Crissy Field, the picturesque beach in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge where rightwing protest group Patriot Prayer will gather, with a generous carpeting of excrement.

“I just had this image of alt-right people stomping around in the poop.”

The apparent thought process: save up dog droppings for a week, dump them all over one of the most beautiful urban parks in the country, hope that the right-wing demonstrators step in it, and pick up all the excrement after the event is over. Putting aside the likelihood that San Francisco park-goers will smear overlooked poop on their Louboutins for weeks, spending many hours fouling one's own nest just to teach one's opponent a lesson sounded like a plan that needed work.

Too bad we didn't get to see how it turned out.
