Mountains of trash rise after 4/20 pot party in S.F.

After the masses departed and the smoke cleared, workers descended Monday on Golden Gate Park to bag up and truck away all that was left behind by those who celebrated the pot holiday of 4/20 - an annual event that again tested the patience of some residents and city leaders.

While thousands enjoyed Sunday's informal smoke-out, police arrested 11 people around Sharon Meadow, and paramedics tended to four others. Traffic in the area was jammed all day. And officials estimated the cleanup cost would exceed last year's tab.

I'm shocked to learn that a large crowd of people smoking pot "forgot" to pick up after themselves. So, I guess the city, county, state will just have to provide more trash bags next year. Which will remain empty until the city workers move in to clean up yet again. No word on the aftermath of the Denver smoke out.

Unlike Tea Party rallies, which leave the place cleaner than they found it!

“Mountains of trash rise..........”

Are they talking about the people that smoked the stuff “awakening” or the residual they left behind?

And that just shows how racist and anti-union the Tea Party is. After all we need illegals and union people to do the jobs regular Americans won't do. Shame on them :)

Well, I suppose they could have been talking about the “leftovers” “rising” from their sleeping bags the next morning. Hopefully nobody got caught smoking a Marlboro in the park since it is prohibited to smoke there. Wait, what? Of course some of the “officials” are blaming the booze and “wishing” it weren’t that way but............ Yeah, that’s a good plan. WISH it wasn’t that way. Hey, here’s an idea. Prohibit booze in the park before next years “event”. That ought to send a message loud and clear. NOT! :>}

How typical of what passes for the “progressive” mind. On April 20, they all get stoned and act like pigs. On April 22, they berate the rest of us on Earth Day.

Oh, those wild and wacky pot smokers!

Meanwhile, I went to a local Civil War re-enactment instead. There were several hundred people there at any one time, maybe 1000, throughout the day. So not as a big as this SF event, but still a good size.

Other than a little bit of grass trampled in the field we used for a parking lot, the place looked better when we left, than when we started. The trash went into the back of a couple of pickups, headed for the dump. Guy who took care of the porta-potties (after someone said, "that's a $%$%$% job", which is a joke I'm sure that he's never heard before....) remarked, "I love working these events. Easy Pickup, Easy Cleanup. Easy Money."

Looking forward to next year's.

Ha... like cleaning up after a children's’ birthday party...

The Left is a ceaseless wave after wave of immature adults who REFUSE to grow up and will always need grown-ups following behind to pay the bills and clean up.

I am sick of them and their cult of childishness.

One of the easiest ways to tell if someone is a selfish narcissist is if they are a slob

Their take is probably that if they cleaned up after themselves, they would be “denying” the city workers their “right” to earn some money doing the cleanup. Liblogic 101.

I wonder how much weed the workers found. Stoners are forever “losing” stuff.

Most likely they exempted themselves from the plastic bag ban. That only applies to the rubes in the suburbs. Or they used the ones made from plants that disolve and don’t hold diddly.
