Malicious compliance at its finest

The fact none of the shots of video and images don't line up the perspective properly with the chimney is infuriating. Is there a KillTheCameraman community to post this to?

I presume they were lining up the boat as best as they could

"I’m not a rule-breaker but I like to make a political statement as necessary as well as a humorous statement and a creative statement..."

How's this political?

Because his city told him he has to have the fence. They wouldn't have done that without a law on the books that says he had to. Politics is governing, and part of that is making laws. Therefores it's a political statement to technically follow the letter of the law, while disregarding the probable purpose of the law.
