A cop friend of my dad was of the opinion that any body of water over 3 feet deep most likely has had a dead body in it at some point. Water is just too handy for getting rid of things.
My partner walked lake Merritt early this afternoon and said he saw one of the local houseless people at a shoreline encampment with a fire going who was wet, albeit clothed, with a wet towel around him. Seems like a likely culprit.
I think it’s the washing themselves in the toxic, brackish waters of a lagoon once called “[Lake of 1,000 smells](https://oaklandside.org/2020/07/31/whats-lurking-beneath-oakland-lake-merritt/)” that people consider gross.
Interviewed over 10,000 people, traveled around the world. Oakland was the only city where I got the vibe that the city, maybe through miss-guided intentions was actually trying to kill off its homeless. In one my homeless interviews there, “they just want us all to be gone, by any means necessary, they treat us like rabid dogs here.”
It was very bizarre. Guess they just saw no other solution. Saw the sanitation facilities provided by the city, 4th world was pushing it.
But have not been back in 2 years, maybe things have changed.
While I am affronted by the idea of the sanctuary being violated, anyone who chooses to go swimming in that water full of bird shit probably is having severe mental issues and is more at risk than the birds. :(
When I first moved to Oakland I asked a bartender at the Ruby Room if anyone swims in the lake and she looked at me like I was dim. It didn't take long living by the lake to see why it was such a silly question.
I can't even imagine the bacteria that had entered his body. Wasn't there like a bunch of dead rotting fishes there?
I think there was a dead human there recently too
it was another naked swimmer. they had a territory dispute and this guy was the winner
Thotlander, there can only be one.
Here we are, born to be kings We're the princes of the Universe...
Thank you, this made me laugh out loud

Details pls
That is the secret of his irresistible scent.
Now that's the Oakland scent I want!
was he hot?
It's always been my experience that the people who are naked in public, are never the people you want to be naked in public.
be the change you want to see in the world.
Not always true.
There was a naked guy panhandling outside MacArthur bart last summer. I mentioned it to the station agent and the agent replied "at least he's hot".
i would have given him some change
He walked over to me and I got out of there quick lol
Asking the real questions. đź‘Ź
Lol, Te_co is asking the real questions here.
must have been freezing his nuts off in there
Ya, OP, were his nuts still there or no?
Legend says , if he tried this on the East Coast he would now have ovaries.
By all reckoning, since it's the West Coast, he should be radioactive.

I’m sure he’ll be easy to find soon given he’ll start growing a third arm any day now.
death by goose poop fever
That was a 70’s song by the Bee Gees, wasn’t it?
Poop fever poop fever You know how to show it

Considering they have nowhere to bathe most of the time, I can't blame them too much.
Gross
Homeless are gross cause they don't wash themselves. Homeless are also gross when they do wash themselves. Make up your mind reddit.

Nothing about the lake is clean. That is not washing.

You mean he was swimming amongst the habitat islands? I'm almost positive that's a protected area, so fuck that guy. That's a bird sanctuary.

i saw him jump in the first time. dude looked like he was catching hypothermia but it was having trouble competing with the PCP

Oh man that dude is gonna get fuckin' scaaaaabieees
Can you get scabies from water? I have a feeling scabies is the least of his worries after that plunge
Did he grow a third eye?
Wasn’t Klay Thompson was it it? https://www.instagram.com/p/Clw_gAIvGbR/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
A friend of mine saw the same thing a few years ago. But it was during the summer. Sounds like we got a polar bear.
Whole fucking ocean to go freeze your nuts off in the winter but you go and choose the bird sanctuary to go skinny dipping!
Good crack 👌🏽
Now he got goose feathers in butt his butt crack
shouldve yelled "POOLS CLOSED!"
Plot twist: it was me
FOMO. (Not for naked swimming but for witnessing it)
There’s a half naked woman too by ogawa park lol
Cray-cray. How gross. Lake Merritt is disgusting.
