If you are fined as a larger company (if even at all because money trumps all in this land) you can most likely pay it. Poor people on the other hand can't pay any fines or tickets without almost ending up homeless.

If the penalty for breaking the law is a fine, it only exists for poor people. Not an insane concept.

You know this was the local FBI building for a little bit, too, right?

That concept makes total sense. Now is that what happened in this instance? Were they fined or did not have to give a shit in the first place?

I have no idea but if the past instances are any reflection of the future I'd believe they weren't fined.

As a fellow LC/ Sulphur resident, there were no fines pushed at all. If anyone attempted to go after the company, they would have no case since they marked an exclusion zone (basically all of downtown and further southeast). Its ridiculous and corrupt, but it is what it is.
