In the wake of Wednesday’s arrest of a transient Fort Collins man on suspicion of first-degree murder, Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith took to social media to criticize policies allowing Northern Colorado’s homeless population to grow, thus complicating public safety and law enforcement efforts.
Smith, a vocal Republican, published a lengthy Facebook post at 2 a.m. Friday that initially expressed sympathy for Hoffman’s friends and family, and went on to bash local policies conducive to transients’ lifestyles.
Some create the problems and then complain about the results. Is this a corollary to the definition of insanity?
