The Unusual, Unusual Case of the “Delco Pooper”
One of many issues that’s enjoyable about this job is that it actually adjustments each day. Boring it isn’t. I get up within the morning by no means figuring out what humorous, terrible, or weird factor occurred. And, nicely, generally — not usually — one thing occurs that’s the funny-awful-bizarre trifecta. (Remember this guy?!) And so I provide the so-called Delco Pooper.
Particulars are a bit of slim on this one. However when you’ve the general public pitchforking (and imagine me, the pitchforks are out) over somebody they’re calling the Delco Pooper, it’s arduous to not delve into the rabbit gap.
So primarily based on all the pieces I’ve reviewed, right here’s the state of affairs. On Tuesday on the intersection of 4th and Madison in Prospect Park, there was some kind of street rage dispute. And one of many folks concerned in mentioned street rage dispute did one thing that nobody anticipated. One thing heretofore unthinkable.
The lady, seen within the photograph above, walked over to a grey automobile. She squatted on the hood. And, nicely, it seems that she pooped. Then she walked away with a defiant, nearly giggly smile. The lady within the grey automobile then calls the Delco pooper a “slut,” which, in my considering, is an terrible factor to name somebody however can be the least unhealthy factor that might occur after somebody poops on the hood of the automobile that you simply’re sitting in.
How do I do know all of this? As a result of I’ve seen video of the Delco pooper in motion. And the video, which isn’t out there for me to hyperlink to in any public boards (it’s circulating in personal members-only teams), makes her soiled deed fairly clear. I’m not allowed to point out you the total squatting incident, however the powers-that-be say I can present you the, nicely, aftermath. However I ought to warn you that it’s, nicely, graphic, in a you-just-walked-into-a-gas-station-bathroom sort of manner:
This was all of the speak of Delco on Wednesday, as is it at the moment. By late Wednesday evening, web sleuths believed they’d recognized the girl primarily based on the visible similarities of the Delco Pooper and the Fb profile photograph of a lady who lives in Delco. However that girl, who I’m not naming right here, swears she’s not the Delco Pooper. Maybe a DNA swab would clear this up?
Prospect Park police chief Dave Madonna tells me that his division is investigating the messy incident. “We are able to’t have issues like this occurring in Prospect park,” he insists.
A lot of folks truly appear to suppose that the entire Delco Pooper video is a faux. But, here, Madonna explains why they are full of, well, you know what.
[Ed. Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the Delco Pooper incident happened on Wednesday.]
