Over the past few decades, California has been completely taken over by radical liberals who are simply incompetent when it comes to running a state. Instead of trying to fix the actual problems plaguing California, which include rampant crime and homelessness, the leftists who are in charge of the state choose to focus their energy on one ridiculously woke task after another.

This was just shown once again when a disabled Navy veteran who is known as the “Bubble Pirate” was ticketed by California officials. He was issued this citation for “fluid littering.”

Sandy Snakenberg, 63, has been known as the “Bubble Pirate” for the last ten years. He loves dressing up as a pirate and putting on creative bubble performances to entertain local communities.

Snakenberg describes himself as a “bubble-ologist.” He lives out of his van, where he stores everything that he uses for his bubble performances.

“I was just enjoying blowing the simple bubbles that you blow and people walking by were enjoying them,” he lamented to KSWB-TV. “I got kind of hooked sharing the joy of it.”

Sadly, Snakenberg recently found himself being targeted by the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department.

From The Blaze:
Last week, Snakenberg was performing his usual “Bubble Pirate” show at La Jolla Cove in San Diego, California.

A ranger with the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department issued Snakenberg a ticket for “littering prohibited fluids” on the park grounds. The Bubble Pirate allegedly asked the park ranger to note on the ticket that the liquid in question was from bubbles, but the officer did not oblige.

With all the problems currently facing California, THIS is what officials are focused on cracking down on right now?!

The bubbles that Snakenberg uses for his performances are just made up of water and soap. It seems that this would make it harmless to have them be in outdoor public spaces. Clearly, however, the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department does not agree.

Snakenberg Refuses To Back Down

Despite this, Snakenberg has no intention of backing down.

More from The Blaze:
“It’s not just my livelihood, it’s something that is actually part of the community now,” he told KSWB-TV.

The Bubble Pirate declared, “I’m not going to quit because I’m not doing any harm. If I was doing something wrong, I wouldn’t be doing it. But I will be coming back against the rangers’ advice.”

It’s sad to see a disabled veteran who made major sacrifices for his country be treated so poorly in his community. It’s obvious that being the “Bubble Pirate” is something that brings Snakenberg great joy, and it also entertains those in his local area. This man is not hurting anyone with his bubble performances, so local officials should leave him alone.

In the end, it’s easy to see why people have been fleeing California in droves. The radical liberals in charge of the state would rather go after the “Bubble Pirate” than actually tackle the real issues that California is facing. It doesn’t get much more sad and pathetic than that!

Key Takeaways:

• A disabled veteran known as the “Bubble Pirate” was ticketed for “fluid littering” in California.
• The “Bubble Pirate” is defiantly refusing to back down.
• The radical liberals running California would rather focus on this than on real issues.
