It's called trespassing. Do you know what else is in the open, easily accessible, and unlocked....your backyard. Does that mean I get to dump my trash there?

I hope they throw the book at them.

We used to have an industrial yard in Fairview that was full of scrap metal that we recycled. Although it looked like it was a bunch of junk, it was all sorted by alloy and size, and was actually quite expensive to purchase. We used it to cast fairly high grade steel parts for the mining industry.

This didn't stop people from dropping off fridges, stoves, christmas trees, furniture, building materials etc etc etc into our yard. Having to pay a guy to get rid of 5 fridges full of freon every Monday was fun times.....just because some selfish a-hole wouldn't dispose of it properly.

Anyone who has driven past Calgary Metal on Monday morning knows exactly what I'm talking about. I feel sorry for those guys; it's like a public dumping ground over the weekend, and they can't do anything about it.

No sympathy for these 2 for dumping in a park.

Okotoks moved down to a 2 bag limit from 3 and we aren't overrun in garbage either.

Mind you, I don't have 7 bags of soiled Depends to get rid of.

There is no difference. I thought I made that clear with that teenage punk sentence. No difference in crimes but I still feel bad they are being humiliated. Probably hypocritical of me, but I wouldnkt feel sympathy if It was teenage punks being humiliated.

At least you admit your hypocrisy. The next step is to change your stance to avoid acting insane.

Ok...so why feel sympathy for them and not punks. I feel sympathy for neither. The only diff I see being any factor at all is these people are older and SHOULD no better. A couple 18 year olds doing it should know better too, but at least have the "young and stupid" still going for them as an excuse.

Maybe they have a mental illness and cant be responsible for their actions. They should be given a medal!

Yeah, sorry, but .

Anyway, glad they got caught. I have no idea what they were thinking; I just don't get stuff like this.

I remember when I was a kid and everyone did this kind of stuff all the time. Nobody wore their seat belts either. Times change however.

I feel sympathy for the older people because they actually have built a life around their reputation, and it's all going to be squashed with one mistake. I'd hate to be a 60 year old walking into my work the next day after the whole office just seen your 15 minutes of shame on the local news station.

I'd be willing to put down some money on the fact that they haven't done this just once.....

One thing you can say about Calgarians is that they do not tolerate littering.

That's not true - I see lots of Airdrie residents in the parks when I drive through...

On top of that if they are ignorant enough to do this, what other $hit do they pull? I'm sure they've got away with crap all the time.

I'm glad they got caught, and I'm glad their faces are on the front page. I hope they still work and everyone they work with recognizes them.
