A Disturbing Endorsement of Cruelty

Jeff Keesler, an urban planner at McKenna in Michigan, has sparked outrage with his recent comments supporting acts of violence against vulnerable individuals. In a shocking statement, Keesler expressed open approval for the burning of a person in a tent, disturbingly stating, “Don’t look at me, I’ve said a word, I’ve been cheering them on the whole time.” Such remarks highlight a mindset far removed from empathy or social responsibility.

Public Trust in Question

In urban planning—a field meant to serve and protect communities—Keesler’s endorsement of cruelty reflects an alarming disregard for human life. His comments raise concerns about his commitment to the ethical standards expected from professionals tasked with shaping inclusive and safe environments.
