Once they got a picture. Thanks again BPD for this and everything you do. \

And thanks to Uhub for drawing attention to this very early on - I'm guessing all the dumpster fires in the past few months are likely tied to a single source.

Poor Lad.

The photo could have been anyone, including Bigfoot. Is this guy somehow "well known" that people would recognize him?

Great job BPD! Now the only dumpster fire left is the one at the White House!
