    We got a few snowballs into the cab of the city plow truck when growing up. We were shocked enough they went in, but more shocked when he stopped the truck and chased us a good 1/4 mile into the woods. Thankfully it was the 80’s and everyone wasn’t crazy to shoot at kids.

    When I was 10, I was dared to put a can of hydraulic fluid in a snow bank in the street before the base plow (a 2-stage Cadillac monster) came by.

    My mistake was that I did it in front of my own house.

    We lived in base housing.

    The plow driver thought he’d killed a kid and freaked out. The red stain was 12 feet long and ran from my neighbor’s yard to our carport.

    Dad was deployed (RC-135 aircrew) but tore me up when he got back. I was expecting a spanking. Instead I had to dig up the yard, till the soil, plant new seed, and make sure it all grew back. Turns out hydraulic fluid kills grass DEAD. It was like a 3-month grounding but I could still play sometimes.

    I also had to write a written apology to the plow driver. Then deliver it.

    Anyone who lived on Offutt AFB in 1979...that was me.

    A local junk guy once told me he loaded up a scrap car with cans of diced beets (condemned?). At the crushing he had a good laugh when the operator thought there'd been a body in the trunk of the car. Crunch, Splat, red gore spray...

    Imagine screwing up so bad that you are banned from even swimming...

    https://www.foxnews.com/great-outdoors/florida-fisherman-lifetime-fishing-ban-lobsters-undersized

    There are plenty of fish in the sea, but Alfredo Gonzalez won’t be seeing them anytime soon.

    Gonzalez, 50, has been banned from commercial fishing for life after pleading no contest to hundreds of charges stemming from fishing violations in the Florida Keys.

    In addition, Gonzalez is now banned from swimming, diving or fishing (from land) in the waters of Monroe County the next five years of his probation — which likely won’t be a problem for at least the first year, as a Monroe County judge further sentenced him to 364 days in the Monroe County Detention Center.

    [​IMG]
    Alfredo Gonzalez was handed a lifetime ban from commercial fishing after pleading no contest to one felony and 223 misdemeanors related to illegal fishing activities. (Monroe County Sheriff's Office)

    Gonzalez, also referred to as Alfredo Gonzalez-Tapia in earlier reports, was first arrested in January 2018 after Florida Fish and Wildlife officers stopped his commercial fishing boat in the Middle Keys and found him to be in possession of 379 undersized lobsters, as well as out-of-season hogfish, the Monroe County State Attorney’s Office confirmed in a news release.

    He also was found to be in possession of 173 lobster traps, as well as lobster-trap buoys that were improperly marked.

    In Florida, merely having undersized lobsters is not a felony offense. Gonzalez, however, had well over the allotted amount (which is 50 undersized lobster for the first trap, one more for every additional trap). He also admitted to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers that he was aware he was over the limit.

    Gonzalez, the then-captain of the boat, was arrested along with three other men. Gonzalez alone was charged with one felony charge for violation of conservation rules, as well as 334 misdemeanor counts for other violations, including the improperly marked buoys and possession of out-of-season hogfish, per a 2018 report from the Florida Keys Keynoter.

    In court last week, Gonzalez pleaded no contest to the felony charge, as well as 223 other charges stemming from fishing violations.

    In addition to his lifetime ban from commercial fishing, jail time and probation requirements, the angler was sentenced to pay fines and court fees totaling $1,648.

    May seem trivial to many but people like him are screwing it up for everyone else. No sympathy from me.

    He wasn’t screwing up; he was blatantly flaunting the law.

    $1,650 in fines? How weak is that. This goon should be in jail and held fully accountable. In CA., the fine is $1000.00 PER undersize lobster and a max of six months in jail. They take a hard line against violators and routinely hand out the maximum penalty.
