A man from Oregon was convicted and is now facing 30 days in jail for the Heinous crime of collecting rainwater — on his own property. And the poor fellow may simply have gone to jail — if not for the reverberating voice of social the medium — In other words, if we do not do something by sharing our outrage, who will?

 

 

"Gary Harrington" of 'Eagle Point', Ore., was sentenced to 30 days in jail and over $1,500 in fines because he dug some holes on his property to collect and use rainwater.

    Fucking ridiculous.

     

    It seems that way, but, what the article obviously and dishonestly fails to tell you is the size of the reservoir, the sheer amount of water he was collecting. Far from a simple rain barrel's worth, this man used lake-size reservoirs to divert up to 13 million gallons of water that would ordinarily collect for public use.

     

    In the state of Oregon, you need a special permit to collect water like this, and the man was officially warned that his actions were in breach of the law.

    > 13 million gallons of water

    Americans, why don't you adopt the metric system?! :roll:

     

    Anyway, 13 mio. gallons = ~ 50 mio. liters, which really is a lot...what was he planning to do with such an amount of water?

    What I really wanted to point out, is how the article made it sound like he collected a cup-ful of rainwater......

    Are online news sources really that desperate to spread outrage against their own government?
