I Love This!

A man who dumped a fridge off a cliff in Spain was slapped with a $67,000 fine and was forced by police to haul the appliance back up the ravine.



In a video posted on AUGC Guardia Civil's Twitter account, a man, who has been identified by police, can be seen throwing a refrigerator over a road guard rail in Almeria, Spain.
Police, who aren’t releasing the name of the person who was fined $67,000 (45,000 euros), told CNN the man could be facing further fines for “environmental crime.”



But a fine was just the beginning of the culprit’s problems.



The agency ordered the man to return to the scene, retrieve the fridge with his bare hands and dispose of it correctly.

Woo-Hoo!   That's awesome!   

I can't like this enough! ♥

If you travel US Highway 16 from Custer SD toward the Wyoming border, you will come across an old kitchen stove sitting near the road on the north side of the highway. It sits there with it's oven door opened. Whoever owns this property has added a sign that says: "Open Range"

Wonder how well you would have liked this if it happened in the states andTrump tweeted make the guy pull it back up with his bare hands. I imagine your response to be different.

 I remember 1967. There was also a movie. I saw Arlo a few years ago here in our little town, theater capacity 300.

...except that Trump would never, ever do that, so your point is moot.

[weltschmerz]

It's tantamount to asking if I would like Trump if he turned into a black lesbian woman or a brindle Great Dane puppy.

I imagine my response would be different too, if the circumstances were different.  Duh.

Seriously, can you not control yourself? Keeping your antagonistic political arguments in the politics area?  Why are you doing this?  Not one person or post in this thread has anything to do with politics.   There are plenty of political threads. go argue over there.  I'm really tired, frustrated and annoyed by all this crap.

[mmhmm]

Value Buy, there was no reason to bring politics into this thread. The OP was posted because the situation was amusing. There was nothing there that would be politically connected. Please do not bring politics into threads in other areas that have nothing to do with politics. While politics may be your focus, it isn't the focus of everyone here and there's a board for political discussion. Thanks.

I wish more people would get caught AND fined for illegal dumping.  We are actually having a problem with this at our church.  People are leaving furniture & large items by the church dumpster, leaving the church the expense of getting rid of their stuff.  I mean, really?!?   ">

Why?  Even a broken clock will be right twice a day.  This would have been one of Trump's. 

Look on the bright side.  Nobody suggested that Trump should have been inside the refrigerator.  Count that as a win for you guys.

I just want you to know.

I agree.
It has become a problem at the apts where I live too. Then because people can't get past the junk and furniture, they leave their garbage on the ground. It is disgusting!

Why do so many adults need babysitters?  Ugh.

You do realize if you just look at the new topics list and do not pay attention to what category the thread is in you do not realize it is not in the politics thread. Most group categories have become political fodder for some posters here. Look at "Investing basics" which is a basically dead zone anymore and you wil see anti Trump posts at times which are political.
If your criticism of me is correct, please have the correct moderator of every group moderate every thread topic listed in their assigned group and publicly point out the other posters who have contaminated almost every thread group with anti Trump rants. That should keep moderators really busy, or I can simply pm you with every thread with every poster that does this every day here.
This is not a criticism. Just requesting equal moderator response/treatment for all.

Or, and this is just another thought, you could, like, read the thread and see what tone it was taking.  Like, for instance, if there was any political snark anywhere in it....  That might be an option before f***ing it up....  I don't know, just something that occurred to me.

You can read the first post and see what the thread is about. Or is that too much work?

You do realize that there are reasons she pointed this out, other than to criticize you, right? And also reasons it was her that posted instead of another moderator.

Just sayin'
