    A pile of shit! This is what you get when the only rule and regulations is corruption. Cutting corners can be expensive and may cost lives. You evaded code enforcement. You bribed your way out -now you have nothing but a gigantic heap of shit! You got what was coming to you. And you should be taken to jail for endangering people's lives and littering- that thing is an eye sore. You need to clean it up.
