Michael Grab, a Boulder artist who goes by the name Gravity Glue, said that police threatened to ticket or jail him for creating stacked river rock sculptures that the community has been enjoying for years.
In a Monday Facebook post, Grab explained that a Boulder police officer had informed him that there would be stiff penalties for continuing his art.
“For the past 7 years i have been creating this art in and around Boulder, Colorado, USA. nearly every day!” he wrote. “[J]ust this weekend, one police officer has decided that balancing rocks in Boulder, Colorado is now illegal, obscurely referencing two city codes [5-4-8 and 5-4-2] about ‘destruction of public property’ in relation to rocks.”
“So now the police have belligerently taken it upon themselves to write tickets and/or arrest ANYONE balancing rocks in Boulder, CO. and specifically threatened to ticket me and/or arrest me if they catch me in the future,” the artist lamented. “ encourage as many people as possible (especially locals) to contact the city council here in Boulder and voice your support for this long standing tradition in Boulder. t is something that an overwhelming portion of the community supports.”

I read very little of this hog wash. The more you read the thicker it gets, and rightly so, it mirrors the thickness of the authors's heads.

Boulder is the LIBTARD BASTION of Colorado.

You might want to keep up a little better. That mud puddle in your yard may soon become "navigable waters of the U.S.", and that drainage ditch on either side of the road, and all kinds of other screwy stuff. That is, unless you want the EPA to crawl up your six and set up camp, and fine you into bankruptcy for messin' with their navigable waters of the U.S.

No I get really depressed reading about some of the things these agencies spew forth with. I know, after working in a Nuke Plant you have had dealings with many of these agencies and maybe OSHA. I've told about my experiences with OSHA here and I'm still shaking my head. I'm doing all I can to fight this idiocy now, at the ballot box, but there's too many idiots out there voting for Libtards that create this kind of madness. As I've told everybody here, this place is getting beyond help. In other words an election I don't believe will fix it. The majority of people in the US are beyond help. There's too many fools been brainwashed. Anyway, I pretty well know what's going on and it scares hell out of me.

Yep. He probably pissed somebody with a few connections off so they sent one of their PD buddies over to do their dirty work.
Damn, I was pissed when I got a ticket in Richmond, VA for parking over 12" from the curb. Funny thing is I had a flat tire and pulled over to change it and left a little room to work. The spare was also down and I thought I was lucky and took the flat to be repaired to a tire shop I had passed a few blocks back. Came back and there was a ticket.

Why anyone would be surprised by this level of horsesqueeze and duplicity is beyond me.
