Reader: Urban camping ban an example of Denver as nanny

Kelsey Whipple has been covering the controversy over city councilman Albus Brooks's proposal for an urban camping ban -- and the debate can be fiery at times. Here's a comment for someone who doesn't agree with Brooks that dealing with the situation constitutes an emergency.

Dr. Angelface writes:

Yet another effort on the part of Nanny Denver to ensure that everything not forbidden is compulsory, everything not compulsory is forbidden, and any deviation results in ever more money in the pockets of the LEO/correctional/"justice" complex.
