Just absolutely pathetic of this joke of an administration.

One dead baby duck was caught floating in the pool over the weekend, though the cause of death was unclear.
Did they charge it with vandalism too?

It possessed preen oil, a common antifa material for Molotov quacktails

The rest of its brood had already dissolved.

Arrest a bunch of random people with great fanfare in order to preserve the optics of his claim. Then quietly release them with no media attention because there's obviously no evidence because it's all clearly covering up for incompetence.
Here's where that's troubling...
It's a very small step between releasing them and making them disappear so that they don't talk to the media afterwards

Exactly. Tyranny.
It will be interesting to see the algae "disappear" with the next round of wasted money.

@Professorozone @Adderbox76 It was just that - a way to take the millions$$$ and get attention. There are chemicals that don't kill fish that kill green algae. Sounded creepy but chemical had to be applied and I caught and released the fish.
Experience is always not needed. Knowledge is out the door and kill off the Dept of Education.

@taiyang @Adderbox76 It appears that's how much of this stuff is happening. All you need to do is say something. Photos drawn by photoshop are fine but blowing up 10HP motorboats is more fun. Without proof, a 10HP motorboat could look faster.

They should be arresting Donvict and his pool boy.

250 foot long gash? This claim sounds pretty sus. Wanna bet they’re arresting people who are ripping off the peeling rhino liner for souvenirs?
CaptDust 28 points 8 hours ago
They're arresting people who just stopped and touched a piece to inspect it.
He has also designed boats, paddles and other waterproof products, and said he was curious about what materials had been used to paint the pool. The 67-year-old said he only touched the material briefly before he was told by one of the park service workers helping to clean the algae from the pool to stop.
Ghostalmedia 18 points 8 hours ago
Yeah, that sounds about right.
When I saw people ripping off the floating liner, I immediately thought “they’re going to try to blame the bad work on these people”

I think there is a market for tourists who want to show their support for TEAM ALGAE!!

Of all the stupid shit…in a few weeks these people will be in court with the judge laughing everyone out of the room.

I say this as someone who longs for the day when Trump is a thing of the past like when someone brings up Covid these days. Also I have nearly 30 years in the water treatment business and algae is a nemesis during the summer months. To have such a problem with algae so soon after refilling it is odd. I don't buy the idea that it was living in pipes that weren't cleaned. If true high phosphate levels are suspicious. The water evaporation claim is BS too.
