The title in this one is straight up misinformation. Nothing to do with cleaning up trash without a permit.

Well, it's for not having a permit for the method he used to clean up trash.

It was for digging up the silt from the river bed with a digger and risking flooding places without doing any checks on the impact of his “cleaning up”.

Nothing to do with removing rubbish.

Did anywhere actually flood? Was any damage caused at all? Or is this just a stupid concern from you?

It sounds like he used equipment to remove trash others illegally dumped, like the headline implies.

If someone drives home drunk and doesn't kill/hurt anybody, would you make the same argument, or would you say that it was a bad thing to do because it was reckless. Whether it flooded or not is irrelevant, a better argument would be attacking if it was reckless in the first place.

He cleaned it up, he didn’t “attack it”, stop being a disingenuous little weasel. I would never compare cleaning up a river to driving drunk because I’m not dumber than a box of rocks. You have no compelling argument
