The garbage can in the background is 100 feet away. You can't see it in the photo, but they also threw little unopened salt packets all over the place. Weird.

Freedom!
According to some folks I've encountered around here, the right to trash one's place is vested in the Constitution. It is freedom! That this trash occurred in a public park only underscores the communistic nature of "public parks" in the first place. Think of this as John Galt's calling card.
