San Diego's 'Bubble Man' ticketed for liquid littering

A San Diego man, known for putting on free performances at parks around the county, says he was given a ticket for blowing bubbles at La Jolla Cove. He's known to many people as the "Bubble Man."

"Bubbleology is the science, art and magic of bubbles," said Sandy Snakenburg, the creator of Bubble World.

He's been blowing bubbles and bringing smiles to people's faces for more than a decade.

If he was half naked, screaming at a trash can while high on meth, you couldn't get the cops to even show up.

Liquid littering? Hey cops, make sure to gather evidence for court.

He brings people happiness and he’s not hurting anyone. This is an injustice.

While the police were doing this 15 catalytic converters were stolen.

Here's what the news should be doing. Go interview the officer that wrote this ticket. Let's hear what that tyrant has to say.

I called SD Dept. of Parks and Rec. The phone answerer said, "it is an eco thing." I called the assistant director and got a machine. I called the rangers and got a machine. When I made bubble soap for events I used Dawn and a little glycerin. I read that both, in moderate amounts, can be beneficial to the grass by killing bugs.

Liquid littering? God we are truly lost as a society.

I promise you there was someone shooting up drugs within 500 yards of the cop writing this ticket.

Everyday I wake up and think to myself, "no bullshit can beat what I heard/saw yesterday", and everyday I get proved wrong after opening up the news.

So people can jump and stomp on the grass, dog can take a whizz on it, but the danger lies with bubbles popping over it. Absolutely ridiculous.

[HappyBanjo-ocpc]

The idiot who gave “Bubble Man” a ticket for “liquid littering” should be publicly named.

[georgemayer]

And the homeless litter without a problem.

[brianp]

I was a park ranger for years and would NEVER have written a ticket for bubbles! What a joke of a ranger, clearly does not have enough to do!

[MidWestLife]

Y'all better leave this veteran alone who found a positive release for the bs he has had to live through. Let him blow huge bubbles, make the kids happy, and bring ppl together. Those charges need to be dropped this is absolutely ridiculous

"This must be California"

While big companies are dumping their waste into the local rivers and lakes, just leave this guy alone he not doing anything wrong.
