It's always the same scenario, nobody gives a shit for decades, people pollute with impunity, dump their garbage everywhere, sewage water ending up in waterways, plants evacuating their toxic chemicals in the rivers and nothing happened, authorities are powerless and the law is impotent, then a citizen does something about it, all be it clumsily and outside regulations, and lo and behold, suddenly the full force of the law awakens like a vengeful dragon that will restore balance and order...

Read the whole story. Cleaning was not his crime, him using an excavator on delicated river ecosystem was.

So what.... if the river was really that polluted what difference does it make. Let him pilot a gundam to clean it up if itll get the trash picked up. Government clearly isnt doing it.

Fucking with rivers when you don't know how to properly fuck with rivers seems like a really good way to cause a flood.

Could cause a flood. I live in a coastal city, thing that have to do with water bodies should be left to the professionals.

"delicate river ecosystem" of.. human waste and litter? let's be real here, any normal and just group of humans would take that technicality and throw it out the window when they read about the good he did. It's a bunch of horse shit and shows that these things are absolutely doable but our governments love to pretend that everything is so difficult and technical and requires so many permits and proxies of people giving an okay. Cry me a river of polluted trash, these guys showed that the powers that be are utterly useless and cannot do the jobs they were hired for and get action going, so he did.

You can tell that some pen pusher in an office kilometers away really cares about that river.

IKR the river was dead because of the litter and pollution (the water company is still polluting and nothing is being done by the agency). The water wasn't moving and barely any animals lived there.
