This is AI right?
Appeal to the Supreme Court. This is fucking insane.
They own fuck all, and they’ll be happy.
Am i doing it right, Klaus ?
Insanity.
You know why right?
It’s because they don’t want you to test the water and find out all the shit they been spraying in the sky….
Plausible but doubtful.
Enforcing a ban on rainwater collection is extremely costly at scale and we’ve had enough time and opportunities to test in areas they’re spraying shit. Pessimistically, we’re gonna need much more political power and leverage than a bunch of lab tests.
It’s true, we do not own anything except bitcoin held in self custody
You have less rights than a beaver. 😂
I think it would be stuff that your basic water testing kits would not test for
Like stuff to make people sick
So even if people were testing it they wouldn’t be looking for the right chemicals….
Damn shame
The state sued him for "theft" 😂
There’s gotta be more to the story… this seems fake or edited in a way to mislead. No way this could be real…
Constitutional rights of ownership
Well if he's collecting it, he might also be filtering all the Strontium aluminate which is supposed return to the atmosphere through evaporation. All that chem-trailing isn't cheap, so he's in violation of stealing. They've been working for years to create a gigantic projection screen in the sky. How else were they expected to make the aliens appear? And they'd get away too if it weren't for those confounded meddling rain collectors. Curses!
He built a 13 million gallon reservior without a permit, got arrested and ordered to drain it, did his time, refilled it, then got arrested again.
I see what you did there.
damn thats a lot of storage
wtf do you even DO with 13 MILLION gallons?
So many fights over water. We had one in our north Texas county a few years back where we sit on top of the Trinity aquifer. It took the ranchers threatening the safety of sheriff deputies if they came onto properties to check the wells to get the commissioners to back off.
The whole reason for trying to restrict the water in the first place was to make it difficult to set up a well that could support a large home. Too many people were coming in from California...
They ended up leaving the restrictions in place but grandfathering all of us in.
For an agricultural business, that's really not so much
this must be eastern OR?
This is so Oregon
Absurdity taking root...
No, Oregon is a communist state, well known in permaculture circles for at least a decade. They have legislated that all water is theirs, even if it falls from the sky.
I know of one case where a guy built an (illegal) pond on his own property, allowed fire helicopters to land and drain much of the pond to fight forest fires, and then sued or arrested him for the illegal pond!

We rail against snippets in media like this. The outrage!! How could they infringe on our rights?!?
Of course the issue is far more complex. He built huge dams on his property and seeding the ponds with non-native species. The nuance is missed in the tik-tok blurb.
Btw, this was about 20 years ago, 2002-2007.
This is not current news. And he pled guilty to the situation.

Jailed after he plead guilty of creating 3 dams and changing the watershed of a creek. Plus introducing invasive species of fish to his ponds.
This is from 2002-2007. Yeah, really old shit.
There’s more to this story than the tik-tok hit piece.
thats insane
how can that be lawful
okay, today you never know exactly whats going on
So this may be tik tok bullshit. This happened in 2012 and it appears that homeboy was building dams. Not capturing roof water. This is one of several articles that popped up when I searched “Oregon arrest rain water”

This is noise, not signal.
Communism by a different name
This madness has been going on for decades😡
