CA Mayor Caught Throwing Bag of Poo in Neighbor’s Yard Apologizes

Some politicians get described as bags of dog crap, but it’s a special politician that actually has a real one of those handy. And the mayor of a California town is in trouble after being caught on surveillance video throwing an actual bag of dog poop in his neighbor’s yard.

San Marino mayor Dennis Kneier dropped the plastic bag on his neighbor’s yard, which prominently displays “no poop zone” signs. The neighbors claims that Mayor Kneier is upset by the signs and wants them taken down, and did this in an act of petty vengeance. Kneier, for his part, said he has no issues with the sign and offered a public apology for his actions.

“A moment of not thinking, of bad judgment, instead of me carrying it all the way home or having just left it there in the first place. That’s not my nature just to walk by trash and not pick it up, cause I always do.”

And by the way, Kneier doesn’t have a dog. He claims he spotted a bag of it and picked it up to use. Right, because the alternative would have been… well…
