Piatt Park threatened over "radical views"

Fascism is on the march in Cincinnati.

A group of economic terrorists called 3CDC has long been responsible for pricing out residents and ruining public amenities just for the sheer hell of it. Now the city is giving this secret society control of Piatt Park.

This park was the home of Occupy Cincinnati in the early 2010s, and a settlement required the city to set aside part of the park for round-the-clock use. For years, the park has also been used to distribute food to homeless and other people who live in the area.

When 3CDC announced its takeover, it adamantly denied that the food events were a factor, and vowed that they would continue. But now that's turned out to be a lie - like everything else 3CDC says. It's now been revealed that the food events have been a topic in e-mails among 3CDC, city officials, and local nobodies since at least last year.

A representative of wealthy downtown residents complained that the organizations that provide the meals "all seem to have pretty radical views."

You mean radical views like thinking people should have food?

So they're not just being targeted because of what they do but also because of what they think. That's not very freedomy.

Nothing else can be more 2020s Cincinnati than that. The city will briefly make progress, only to roll things back to even worse than they were before, just because 3CDC, COAST, the Tea Party, or the media told it to.

3CDC also gave a presentation that included a photo of one of the food distribution events, which it labeled "persistent misuse of the park."

The only thing in this story that's a persistent misuse is 3CDC.
