Oh no. This will be filed under “This is so unfair and another example of white privileged inequality, that his neighbors suffer and he doesn’t.” Raise taxes and how about ObamaDams for everyone?

But do you think he will be prosecuted for violating the Wild Rivers Act? He willfully disrupted the natural flow of a navigable waterway under the control of the Bureau of Land Management.

This is a Clear Violation of Federal Law and I bet he gets a Threatening Letter from the Feds. But I do Like it!!!

He’ll be sued by his neighbors because it was unfair of him to protect only his home and property, he should have protected theirs as well. /s
