Reply to What is this giant hole in chimbo park by moonpeachburritofunk

Wtf is chimbo? Sorry, I got trashed on here for referring to Oregon Hill as O-Hill once. Edit: sorry guys, Chimbo is cool and hip. Anybody want to hit up Scott's Addy and go to some Breweries? Or Maybe we can roll down the Po-Po and go to south side?

I would recommend this poop bag holder to anyone with a normal strap style leash. It might fit on a cord/rope style too, but it depends on the thickness of the rope.

Key benefits are:

  • There's 3 contact points, so it stays put near the handle of the leash.

  • It provides good leverage to tear the bags at the perforation on the roll. You won't accidentally tear a bag and get poo on your finger.

  • It's fabric as opposed to hard plastic, so after a while you learn what the thickness literally feels like when you get down to the last bag or two in a roll. When you know the rolls getting low, you can stash a replacement roll in your pocket. We've all been on three-poop walks with two bags left on the roll...

  • You can fold up and stash a public bag or two if you screw up replacing the roll on time.

  • It has a carrying hook at the bottom so you can knot-up, clip onto, and carry the used bags there until you find a waste bin.

  • At $12 it's pretty easily replaceable if/when the zipper breaks. I had a zipper go after over two years with a puppy who could shit up to 6 times a day frequently (turns out he has IBD). Now that his IBD is under control he's pooping 2-3 times a day, so the zipper isn't going to need nearly as much use.

You don't say anything, hand over your valid driver's license and current registration...and say nothing. The stop is legal (law enforcement can use it to ensure proper tags, license plate, headlights, etc. are in good working order).

Honestly, I’d have to look it up. I’ve lived in so many different places I don’t know what the laws are here. Like others have said though, even if you are right, they can make your life miserable in other ways.

IMO, the fourth amendment died as soon as the Patriot Act was passed in 2001. We gave Caesar his power and he isn’t giving it back.

I’m also fully aware that I’m a middle-aged white guy and any interaction with law enforcement isn’t going to escalate unless I start some shit. Not gonna see me on a viral video challenging the guys with guns, itchy trigger fingers, and relatively little training. I’ve got a kid to take care of.

Doesn’t matter. He is a child and the police are adults. You do not deescalate a child with autism using excessive force or restraints— it doesn’t work, it makes things much worse and is exceptionally traumatizing and harmful to the child. There are so many other scientifically researched & effective ways to deescalate in a behavioral crisis.
