See that thing in your hand that you’re probably posting this message with. It has a camera and EVERYBODY records EVERYTHING so it’s actually going to be a lot easier to know who done it.

Was a little confused when I saw address as 1599 Bonnabel Blvd., wondering when the type of folks who would prepare and send out an announcement for such a thing started living on Bonnabel.

Looked it up and it turns out it's actually the address for the Bonnabel Boat launch park...

Oh, and:

This is already illegal as “littering.”

How long until Gravy and the other grifters are calling this racist?

Admitting one particular demographic is known for doing this dumb shite.

Didn't this come up b/c balloon releases hit power lines & caused multiple significant power outages in either NOLA or BR in a short amount of time?

Yeah, don’t see how you could even enforce this. By the time you see the balloon(s) how do you know who released them? Criminal defense lawyers finna eat



Well, except that cultcha is retarded and they happily record themselves doing criminal things and posting it to social media.

Good.

Just like the left lane law.

And many others that go unpunished

How does a littering offense result in suspension of a driver’s license?

Good. But they won’t release it.

How completely empty does your brain have to be to not understand this is littering…

The Cleveland balloon launch was an absolute shite show.


Absolutely awful. IIRC a couple of people went overboard out on Lake Erie and drowned because search and rescue couldn’t find them with all the balloons in the water.
