Many Torontonians are appalled after learning that some residents at a St. James Town apartment building were throwing feces at electrical contractors working to restore power to some units.

A letter about the incident was sent to residents at 77 Howard St. last week and was shared on Reddit. According to the building’s management company, Wellesley-Parliament Square (WPSQ), electrical contractors were there to restore power to some units following last Tuesday’s historic rain storm.

“Dear residents, it has come to our attention that a small group of residents are repeatedly interfering, threatening, and/or harassing members of the electrical contracting team,” the letter reads.

“Reports of unacceptable behaviour include throwing human waste from upper-level balconies at workers below, aggressive language, and/or hostile interactions. These actions are disrupting efforts to repair the building and will only serve to prolong the restoration effort,” it continued.

WPSQ adds that the professionals have been working around the clock since Tuesday to restore the power.

“It makes no sense why anyone would want to interfere with this work, cause additional delays contribute to an already challenging situation. We firmly believe that…most residents will be shocked to learn this behaviour is occurring. Nevertheless…we want it to stop,” the letter said.

    I’m guessing the shit flingers might be people who are so brain-rotted they believe the workers are installing 5g brainwave controllers or something. I can’t imagine anger alone would compel someone to literally throw their shit at someone else; the act of literally throwing shit seems too desperate for someone who’s just angry and nothing else.

      It’s not something civilized folks do. If flinging poo is the conflict resolution go to move, they should be evicted and moved to the outskirts of town

      5he act also matches the disinformation you indicate.

      IE those talking about 5g are throwing shit all over the media so idiots falling for it likely have examples of this behavior.

      That said and moving away from sarcasm.

      Is their not some mental condition that leads to fecal obsessed behavior. I’m sure I heard something along those lines somewhere.
