The morning after the creatures' night before...
The night before last in a park in the Aşağısoku neighborhood of Bolu,
four individuals drank alcohol and ate food, leaving their garbage
remnants behind them. In the morning, local residents were faced with
the filthy mess and summoned municipal sanitation teams to come and
clean it up.
The four individuals who left the mess were identified and Bolu Mayor
Tanju Özcan reacted angrily: "Four creatures (!), let's not call them
people, sat and drank in one of our parks until morning, leaving their
debris as they left. We have learned their identities and have fined
them each 40,000 TL (about $1,200). We will also charge them with
crimes because paragraph 181 of the Turkish Penal Law stipulates that
'a jail term of up to two years will be given to anyone intentionally
dirtying the environment. So if you continue to behave in this filthy
manner you'll end up in jail. I'm warning you!"
