Man Reprimanded By City Officals For Cleaning Up Trash

Hydn Rousseau was so tired of all the trash and crime in his Florida neighborhood that he finally took matters into his own hands.  He organized a cleanup effort.
"I saw debris and trash everywhere and I said I have to come back home and make a difference in my community," stated Rousseau.

Last Saturday, he organized a neighborhood cleanup with 50 volunteers. The team cleaned several lots of dangerous trash, including needles and buckets of debris.

What did he get for all his hard work? He got a reprimand from the mayor and city attorney.  Apparently they aren't happy that Rousseau didn't follow proper procedures.

Getting a few people together to clean up trash is to "take the law into his own hands"?

That town needs a new mayor. This one is a moron.

Brunswick Ohio: City worker fired for 'stealing'. He took home a piece of metal debris found in a field while mowing... Proper Procedure was to call another division to come remove the metal before he continued to mow...

You can't just let the average citizen go running about willy-nilly cleaning up trash. Next thing they'll be painting over graffiti and trimming overgrown landscape areas. It'll lead to anarchy!
