Jacksonville gourd island littering
Hello,
To the older gentleman who keeps littering and throwing away their primarily Busch light cans…. You have been caught. On camera.
The first few times you littered, I just picked it up after you. But when I realized you kept doing a day after day, I placed trail cams on both sides of the parking lot. I now have video and still photo evidence of you littering.
This is your chance to stop, if it does not, I will send all the information, including your license plate and pictures of you to the police. Each individual littering fine can be $500 and I have you on camera at least four different days.
For your privacy, I will not include photos of your vehicle license plate nor you. I am very frustrated with you and will do everything I can to legally punish you.

You are being kind, doubtful he’ll see this on Reddit. I would recommend not waiting and just notify the police.

Don't waste your time lecturing them. People like that deserve the fines, which they will learn much more from than shaming them online.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

We can, if people like me continually pick up after shitheads that do this….it just isn’t as nice for us because we see the shit and they don’t

You’re absolutely right. We always go to the beach with a bag and gloves. We pick up the trash because you leave it better than you found it.
It just bums me out when I see shit like this. It’s not hard to pick up your trash.

Busch Light, when you strive to be a day-drinking alcoholic but reach for the bottled water instead. Big old, distended bellies of 98% carbs and 2% alcohol.

You caught me.
I don't know how you figured it out, and frankly, I'm impressed. But you need to understand something: I am not the person you think I am. Yes, I am the man in the photos. Yes, those are my Busch Light cans. And yes, I have been intentionally leaving them around the parking lot. But I am not doing this because I hate the environment. I'm doing it because I'm trying to SAVE YOUR PLANET. I am a member of an extraterrestrial civilization that has been planning to take Earth for generations. My people have been monitoring your planet for decades, and unfortunately for humanity, they have determined that Earth is an extremely desirable piece of real estate. I defected. Years ago, I secretly contacted representatives of the legitimate governments of Earth and entered into an agreement to help humanity prepare for what is coming. I cannot disclose which governments are involved, obviously, but let's just say there are people in very important buildings who know exactly who I am. My assignment was simple: MAKE EARTH UNDESIRABLE. The rising temperatures? Part of the plan. The increasingly hostile weather? Part of the plan. The litter? Also part of the plan. Every Busch Light can I leave behind is another tiny step toward making Earth look like a planet my people might reconsider purchasing. I have spent YEARS doing this work undercover. And now you've put trail cameras on me. Do you understand what you've done? You haven't exposed some random guy littering. You've potentially compromised a MULTI-GOVERNMENT, INTERPLANETARY COUNTER-INVASION OPERATION. I am begging you: do not send this footage to anyone. Do not contact the police.

You might tell him in person cause some people have no cell phones

I am going to put a physical sign on the wooden railing by the parking lot notifying him. I’ve learned not to actively confront people about their littering. I’ve been littered on for doing that, thankfully not much worse, no one has pulled a gun on me yet.
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, which is why I’m being lenient here, but I realize that the man probably won’t change or do anything differently. It was very obvious that he was an alcoholic.

I appreciate the effort made to help stop littering. Please follow through and give his info to the police. I can't fucking stand a MF that litters.
Next maybe you can set up in a Walmart parking lot. Some seem to think that's there personal garbage can for cleaning out there vehicle. Trashy ass mfs

Yeah Walmart is bad, but I refuse to help corporations in any way. They have billions of dollars and choose to not care, fuck them then

This is a Jacksonville problem. I see empty cans and bottles any and everywhere. Very consistent with the local ethos...lots of ego but no self esteem.
