Here's Why 'Serial Poopers' Just Can't Stop Pooping in Public

OMG! He shits in public on purpose! This article is from 2017. It's not about trump but about psychos who intentionally fart or shit in public places.

“It is the ultimate F.U. and vandalism crime,” she says.

Serial poopers, by contrast, are very intentional. And, in many cases like the neighborhood jogger, they don’t even go through any lengths to keep their identity anonymous.

“It’s a statement,” says Chirban. “They’re expressing aggression through an egregious act.”

A public dump certainly is egregious. But what’s the drive behind all that hostility? Well, without sitting the serial poopers down in front of a psychologist, all experts can do is speculate. But there are some leading thoughts on what’s triggering them.

He agrees that anger is the dominating force, but that it could be mixed with other problems. After all, you probably got mad at your boss once or twice, for instance—but when’s the last time you pooped on his doorstep as a result of it?

“There can be a secondary gain from getting away with it,” she says. “That can lead to a kind of invincibility, and rationalizing as ‘they deserved it anyway.’ When the behavior continues, there’s no remorse.

who, when she had decided she was tired of it all, turned herself in wearing nothing but a blouse and an adult diaper. She pooped a lot in public during her later years. She died of end-stage liver failure about a week after turning herself in. Her mother took care of her remains, but her daughter wanted nothing to do with it.
