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.
...
...
...
About 40 volunteers from Green Cross, a San Francisco medical cannabis dispensary, also sought to lessen the impact of the event, bringing in trash cans and asking visitors to be responsible. The volunteers carted away about 350 bags of trash Sunday, said Holli Bert, a spokeswoman for the club.
...
...
...
Park officials estimated last year's cleanup cost about $10,000. Because 4/20 happened on a weekend day again this year - the 2013 event fell on a Saturday - officials said cleanup costs could go higher. Next year, April 20 falls on a Monday.

San Francisco park workers and volunteers spent much of Sunday picking up and hauling away 10,000 pounds of garbage strewn all over the eastern part of Golden Gate Park known as Hippie Hill, the remnants of Saturday's annual yet unofficial pot-smoking bacchanalia.




Good stuff!

GO GREEN!
Save the planet!


selfish motherfuckers.

It's always someone else's responsibility to fix their shit. Lazy and irresponsible is the new norm. Hope and Change with a side order forward progress being their battle cry and like predicted they live up to being good little hypocrites. What truly shocks me in all this is the "possible fact" they actually fed themselves
We all know stoners are too fucking lazy to clean.
Does anyone expect the libtards to not be hypocrites? C'mon man these are the same fools who voted for Obama

just like all their good ideas and government programs they enjoy......

those are someone elses job to fund and provide for.

I bet the average age of these participants is under 25.

We might have achieved the impossible, the trifecta, of the most self absorbed, spoiled, and ignorant generation any country has ever raised to date.

which is one hell of an achievement compared to some of the boomers i have met.

I'll bet that 3/4's of the people at this event still live at home and has mommy dearest doing that. You even get that implication from Vaxemous' post in the other thread. Notice how she said she was leaving when her parents moved to Utah? To Colorado so she could work in the pot industry too?

hahahahahah

Wow...didnt see that coming.....
it's another stimulus project

with this type of mentality no wonder the fast food tax (for garbage wrappers) passed in Oakland with such enthusiasm.

who cares how much it costs, someone was paid to do it.

... and who pays for the town employees to pick-up, transport, and dispose the 10,000 lbs of trash?

The neighborhood the park is in is already complaining of the clean-up costs... fucking buzz-kills.

But this year's annual celebration - which falls each year on April 20 and is known as "420" - drew a larger-than-average crowd of between 10,000 and 15,000 revelers on the warm weekend day. They proceeded to smoke, drink, eat and rack up more than $10,000 in costs for city crews to clean up the mess, ironically just before Earth Day.
...
...
Dan Kling, a nearby resident who was playing in the park with his 2 1/2-year-old daughter Sunday, was disgusted. Kling, 39, said he didn't have an issue with the event, just with what was left behind.

"If you can't be responsible for yourselves, you can't have a party," he said.


The extra police to maintain order:
http://sfappeal.com/2014/04/as-many-as-ten-felony-arrests-at-golden-gate-park-420-celebration/

Ten people were arrested during impromptu marijuana celebrations in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park on Sunday for offenses ranging from selling marijuana or opiates to mischief and carrying a gun, police said today
...
...
Police made a total of four arrests: for selling marijuana and possession of marijuana for sale, another arrest for possession of opiates for sale and one arrest for possession of opiates.

They found two people with loaded or concealed firearms, including one who was also carrying hashish, made a warrant arrest and arrested another person for malicious mischief, Newman said.


How did anyone in San Francisco get a firearm? Loaded, even!

crazy...

Cops are fucking buzz-kills, too!

Obama's economic plan in two sentences.
I like that vax tries like hell to get you guys all hyped up over her insane posts

hell, all the rest of the leftists retreated like cowards crying about 'circle jerk' instead of standing for the courage of their convictions and owning up to voting for owebama and their massive fuckups

Hard for them to stand up and fight for convictions they obviously didn't really believe in.

Dumbalt sure went off the rockers. I imagine him in his mom's basement, with no forms of outside contact, or news feeds, desperately eating his own scat in order to not have to confront the blatant reality of what Obama (and ultimately him) have become over the past five years.

I am digging Nader again though.....he might actually stand for something. Even if I only agree with half of it.

Reminds me when I tore his ass up for a longtime when he declared he was an 'independent'.

If anything, he has become even more of a far left lunatic as he gets older. I see him being ICPedos replacement when thet piece of shit dies off.

oh seriously.....i remember that too

him and ICPedo have so much in common.

both see themselves as moderates somehow. as non-partisan. i remember when that old geriatric fuck called himself a conservative. still can't stop laughing about that one.

dementia is a hell of a drug.....especially when it is self induced by your own insanity and idiocy.

I could go for the no war thing, but the rest of their ideas kill me and I'd rather start a draft and send all of them to a war in the Amazon.

that's true....i did like how Nader said the first thing we need to do, to mobilize this left-right movement, is act to impeach Obama. that's the first step in the correct direction for any compromise to be made.

Amazing how you see yourself versus reality. When you're that far left, anything anyone else believes is far right to you.

Just look at how they have embraced global warming / climate change: they are no different than the far right in that aspect. I see tham as the Iranians of the left.
No kidding....

I realize position is largely relative, but it makes me wonder what they feel is to the left of them?

Because they are so far in left field, as a 100% full time DNC panderer, nut gobbling, apologist, that for them to feel "moderate" or independent......or centrist surely they have to feel something is more leftist than they are.

given their records recently i wonder what the hell that could possibly be. Nader.....Kucinich? Nope....they want their god king impeached.

Maher? Moore? Even they have been talking shit about this fucktard running the country.

I wish I knew what they felt was more left than them so I could gain a better understanding of how they could possibly lie to themselves that they are anything but partisan pundits and puppets for a political party.

Because most real hard core leftists, progressives, chucked our standing POS CiC overboard years ago.

It would seem Obama isn't left enough for them and that is why they bailed. It isn't that left policies are failing, they just haven't been taken far enough.

You know that is what they are thinking and it's the same way they think about every failed policy they believe which just needs a little more money or focused pocused.

so because real leftists bailed......the right already bailed.

that makes people like Dumbalt a centrist.....an independent.....for nut gobbling anything and everything obama spits out still?

That might just be silly enough to make perfect sense.

You really don't have the slightest clue about anything, do you?
it's partly idiots from the attendee side and people from the organizing side.

i've been to festivals and things, and most of the time the organizers never have enough garbage disposal options, cans overflowing left and right.

and at the same time there are just stupid shit-head attendees who are just idiots and will litter.

The right is more virtuous than the left. They have twice as many virtues because they have double the standards.

Well, the event isn't really formally organized. The park is called "Hippie Hill" for some reason. On 4/20, people just show up and wait for the big "Smoke Off" at 4:20pm and party the whole time.

The city can't condone it, but they allow it to happen lest the city is San Francisco get bashed for being buzz kills on a popular day. Still, the city provides extra cops, ambulance service, and the cost of the clean up afterwards.

The slobs ruin it, though. Way to take care of the Earth Mother you assholes!
