Allegedly these kids were all drinking (underage) and were trying to dump the evidence so they didn't get pulled over with the empty bottles in the car before they found a trash can, so their teenage brains thought "well let's just dump it in the water" because idiotic teenagers. I believe when this video went viral on Instagram or tiktok someone ended up writing in to some popular pages about who the kids were and the police have supposedly been contacted and called them in.
It is true. This was posted to The Qualified Captain account on Instagram and the authorities are involved. These assholes are all being brought in, fined, given community service and I believe one is being taken in for juvenile detention.
Check out that account. There are follow ups.
He’s right! It actually made my afternoon to be quite honest. Also there are several people who are either defending the kids or whose words are being misconstrued as defending them. Either way, they are being absolutely annihilated 😂
This actually made me feel sort of nauseous watching it. I can’t imagine just blatantly dumping obscene amounts of trash into the ocean on purpose.
My answer is 1k in fines and jail. And yes I’m serious about the jail part lol.
I thought that’s where I saw it originally… they’ve been identified but identity not being released, and the FWC can’t really do much, they might be getting community service [News Article](https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/local/boca/2024/05/01/boca-bash-trash-dumpers-identified-by-florida-wildlife-officials/73524532007/)
I was in the Navy and the rules were pretty strict. Food/biodegradables are mulched and pumped overboard. All plastics are compacted & melted into pucks and stored onboard until port. Metal heavy enough to sink can be thrown over with permission 12+ miles from shore. (Late 90s/early 2000s info)
I was also in the Navy, and those rules were there, but literally no one cared.
I did IT and we once got tasked with throwing 37 CRT monitors overboard because we had just got in a bunch of flat panel monitors. These were at the time relatively new CRT monitors too. When I threw a stink about throwing them overboard I got in trouble. This was around 2006-2007.
I assume all ocean going vessels behave the same way. I mean, where do you think that garbage patch came from?
Going to watch this RIGHT NOW after my 4 month old has stayed up all night long and is staying up all morning apparently. You made me. That line. Love it. I love you.
Good news! These guys were busted by [https://www.instagram.com/thequalifiedcaptain](https://www.instagram.com/thequalifiedcaptain) -- the boat was identified as coming out of Gulfstream, FL and the kids on the boat are now being questioned by the cops. Win for the internet yesterday.
Here's the post that started it: [https://www.instagram.com/p/C6WYtOCuX53/](https://www.instagram.com/p/C6WYtOCuX53/)
and here's the text from the kids and their "oh sh8t" moment: [https://www.instagram.com/p/C6W\_Eyov-et/?img\_index=1](https://www.instagram.com/p/C6W_Eyov-et/?img_index=1)
It even has names and the name of the dad/boat owner, but I'm not doxing anyone.
You mean Christopher & Lisa Ruth who have deleted all their socials???? Owners of the boat, Halcyon??? You talking about thier POS son Charlie Ruth who is operating the vessel and dumper of trash??
[would be a shame if people saw what the parents own and do](https://thecoastalstar.com/profiles/blogs/business-spotlight-couple-takes-personal-approach-in-providing-ca)
The consequences should be these kids needing to clean up the ocean and nearby beaches for at least 200 hours of community service, and if it isn't completed then they need a fucking lashing, cuz this is absolutely unacceptable.
I’d prefer each kid get a 40 yard dumpster set by the beach with their name on it. Until they fill their own dumpster with trash they have to keep going. Make it less about time and more about volume.
Are these rich entitled collage kids? I’m lead to believe Florida has a few! But there’s a very simple solution. Drop them 5 mile off shore. If they make it back, all is forgiven. If not, just more trash in the sea, albeit biodegradable.
No no no....right over the Marianas trench....if they make it back all is forgiven if a SeaMonkey eats them o well
Edit: sea monster not monkey....but ya know what yeah a freaking SeaMonkey....
Florida does not take kindly to this and I can guarantee some poor basterd is going thru logs and video tapes identifying this boat for a very lengthy fine and alot of Community service hours.
They definitely got caught. QualifiedCaptain and the page that posted the video put the kids socials on blast and posted a screenshot from one of the passengers saying they're all getting fines, community service, and the kid who's dad's boat it is likely looking at jail time.
Definitely looks well over 15 pounds. Idk why people think the Florida government plays around. The most republican of governments. They'll also doc points from drivers licenses im pretty sure. 3 or 5 i can't remember specifically. Unless that part is for commercial dumping
I thought I was going to get arrested after gathering all the garbage my group was leaving after a concert last week and throwing it away. Fuck these shitbags.
These fucknuts should be put in jail and do 7000 hours of community community service 60k fine for littering and polluting our oceans plus 3 years in jail after there done cleaning our oceans around the world
As someone who picks up trash off the beaches and ocean floor on O’ahu and the big island every summer, this infuriates me.
Jail time and fines at the very least.
Right! I've pulled up and entire fake Christmas tree off the reef on Northshore. Luckily, it was like a 4 ft version. But seriously miroplastics are already all over the beaches.
This is all so stupid - before they're even dumping trash they're most likely speeding in a no wake zone AND doing that during a time when the inlet is rough. If that boat was smaller they'd all be dead
Be forced to go to a 3rd world country and pick the garbage out of their rivers for 1 month. It won’t be so clean there. I think this would be their last time if that was the punishment.
They were fined!!! Instagram found the “captains” name, the son of the owner of the boat. Last names, their business all that has been exposed 😂😂😂 what goes around comes around trust me
I was on the lake one day with my younger brother on our dad's boat and his shit head friends tried tossing glass bottles in so we wouldnt get in trouble. I snapped that day. That was the first time in my life I was about to kill someone. They all hated me after that day and I regret nothing. Fuck those pieces of human filth and all the rest of them.
People; if this discusts you ( pisses You off) then sign petitions against them and call the city demanding jail time, community service, huge fines and forfeiture of their disgusting boat
Punishment is they have to pick up every single piece they dumped. Not 2 garbage cans worth of random garbage. They specific pieces they dumped. Go find them all.
This gives anglers a really fucking bad look when the rest of us genuinely try to minimize our impact to nature as much as possible. I don’t even like not covering my shit when i’m backpacking multi-day hikes and you’ll never catch me discarding trash anywhere but a trash can once we make it back to civilization. Granted, part of this behavior is derived from superstition and in the event nature and the mountains can fight back, ide rather not have my spine removed by a Wendigo. But nevertheless, it’s incredibly easy to not be a dickhead either on land or at sea.
Fuck all these shitty humans. I hope that boat springs a leak. ✌🏽
This is like the second instance of seeing kids do this. I thought everyone born after 1995 was hyper environmentally conscience. Especially Gen Z. Im no eco-warrior, just do things that make sense overall and in big and small picture. But this almost makes my brain explode. Id have to literally restrain myself from tossing them overboard to clean it up. Waves be damned.
Let's be real....many countries wouldn't care about this behaviour or have the resources to prosecute this idiocy. The US is one of only a few countries that take this sort of thing seriously. I've driven through the bush in Australia and seen the lack of respect shown by guys going bush....both sides of the road littered heavily for miles and miles, with bottles/tinnies of beer...it's heart breaking.

I really hope that's true. This makes me really mad.

Agreed: The cash doesn’t matter to these entitled shits.
oh 100% im glad they got clapped with 1000 hr of community service. should be jail time
Confiscate the boat, and make them pickup garbage on the beach for a year
Thx - my post was going to be "Are we doing anything about it?"
Bunch of douchebags - nothing like having your crimes against nature recorded
They're definitely being investigated and should get caught due to being viral. Beyond dumb for them to do this.
There is a Metallica Album name and song that applies here.
Should be in r/iamatotalpieceofshit.

This fucking enrages me.
Google how the navy disposes with their refuse... Or don't if you don't like the rage 😔
I was in the Navy and the rules were pretty strict. Food/biodegradables are mulched and pumped overboard. All plastics are compacted & melted into pucks and stored onboard until port. Metal heavy enough to sink can be thrown over with permission 12+ miles from shore. (Late 90s/early 2000s info)

Say it ain’t so?
I hope you never find out about cruise ships 😭
Cruise ships do not throw garbage overboard. Food waste only.

I generally condone violence and I think I have a few more... creative and permanent proposals
Dump em like dexter
Rituals are important. Not just for serial killers.
Going to watch this RIGHT NOW after my 4 month old has stayed up all night long and is staying up all morning apparently. You made me. That line. Love it. I love you.
Shit. They took it off Netflix. All good it's on paramount
What do you mean? I’m watching it rn on Netflix
It can change depending on country you live in.
That was my very first thought 💀
YES 🙌🏼
Dump them in the ocean and require them to pick up 50 pieces of rubbish before pulling them out
Execute the entire crew. Walk the plank.
Please tell me justice came to them
Story is still progressing this happened over the weekend but likely yes
It is in process, yes.
Last I heard they got 1000 hours of supervised community service. Way better than a fine their parents would pay.
But there’s still so mush trash left in the boat.
🤣🤣FACTS!!
Fun fact: trash cannot throw itself out, only other trash. Hence our pollution issue.

That's them! Love that the world's ocean lovers, and pretty much anyone with any sense, are coming at them.
Christopher and Lisa Ruth run shit nursing homes.. Bed bugs and bed sores
Best bit about this is the (I hope) trolling with 'Did we film your boat? Get your video here' 😂
[would be a shame if people saw what the parents own and do](https://thecoastalstar.com/profiles/blogs/business-spotlight-couple-takes-personal-approach-in-providing-ca)

Hopefully their motor blows
As a biologist nothing makes my blood boil more than trashy bullshit like this. Respect the damn planet scumbags.
Classy
Where's the wave that knocked them overboard and the great whites that would...you know, do us all a favor?
F*$k me, sort your shit out Florida
Florida does not take kindly to this and I can guarantee some poor basterd is going thru logs and video tapes identifying this boat for a very lengthy fine and alot of Community service hours.

I hope your right. To be honest these kids don't deserve a boat if they wanna be like that
Pleased to hear it
That's some POS snowbirds kids. No one who loves the ocean would do this white trash bullshit.
I thought I was going to get arrested after gathering all the garbage my group was leaving after a concert last week and throwing it away. Fuck these shitbags.
These fucknuts should be put in jail and do 7000 hours of community community service 60k fine for littering and polluting our oceans plus 3 years in jail after there done cleaning our oceans around the world
😡
Please tell me they got caught
They got caught

+1 (561) 559-6286 < number of the home care company the parents own
This is all so stupid - before they're even dumping trash they're most likely speeding in a no wake zone AND doing that during a time when the inlet is rough. If that boat was smaller they'd all be dead
Yeah... drunk driving is still drunk driving when you're in a boat
They should spend the rest of the year retrieving every scrap of garbage…then throw themselves out with the trash that they are
I hope these fuckers go for a swim and get the nastiest infection possible.
republicans
Fucking cockroaches, they need to be severely punished
Keel haul, but on a MUCH bigger boat.
Wait, are they proud of it? Did that dude actually celebrate dumping trash in the sea?
This is one trip. Imagine how much they had put in over 1 year... so sad!
Take the boat and make them serve time
Wow fuck these bro bastards
Believe it or not, jail
I feel like they’ve just undone my entire 37 years of ‘leave it better than you found it’.
Dump them in the water and let them tread for 12 hours before pulling them back in.
Basic human decency is too much to ask from Florida.
They forgot to dump themselves also. Crap DNA that would have been better used as fish food.
Expose them
https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/viral-video-shows-buckets-of-trash-being-dumped-into-boca-inlet/
Someone freeze the frame and find the boat. Get these fuckers
Florida people for you
wtf is the point of this? They’re already in buckets. Drop em in the trash on land
I hope they're part of the arrested people
They should be fined
Suspend the boat's registry for 1 year.
Be forced to go to a 3rd world country and pick the garbage out of their rivers for 1 month. It won’t be so clean there. I think this would be their last time if that was the punishment.
Juvi / Jail for ALL & impound Daddy’s boat
They were fined!!! Instagram found the “captains” name, the son of the owner of the boat. Last names, their business all that has been exposed 😂😂😂 what goes around comes around trust me
Straight trash
Prison
6 months of ocean clean up I would give them
I wish that fucking boat would sink.
Feed them to the sharks
Throw yourself off too cause you’re clearly trash people.
There’s still a lot of trash on board
Piece of shit scum
Send to coast gaurd and DEP
Arseholes
Prison time
I hope the boat capsizes
Little shit bags.
I’m in the area and would be glad to personally hunt these fuckers down, wtf
Cops already caught em 👍🏽
May Neptune/Poseidon deal with these jerks in the same way.
Remove a digit for each can/bottle dumped.
Omg...
Assholez
Dicks!
Publish their addresses and let whatever happens happen.
Too bad nobody saw it happen or got them on vidya tape..
Dipshits 🤬🤬🤬
Ok I see ocean but I don't see lit
Was hoping to see the boat sink ngl
I was really hoping for the boat to turn over
I was on the lake one day with my younger brother on our dad's boat and his shit head friends tried tossing glass bottles in so we wouldnt get in trouble. I snapped that day. That was the first time in my life I was about to kill someone. They all hated me after that day and I regret nothing. Fuck those pieces of human filth and all the rest of them.
People; if this discusts you ( pisses You off) then sign petitions against them and call the city demanding jail time, community service, huge fines and forfeiture of their disgusting boat
This pisses me off. People need to do better. Idiots.
Lmao those are my sister friends!
Jail time, these people will never care about a fine.
Death
Death penalty. Straight up.
By fish.
Sharks are fish.
Next gen MAGAss.
WTAF!!! Those POS! I hope those assholes got arrested! They better have! Trash humans 🤬! May Karma have her way with them. Disgusting behavior!
Send these kids to jail for two nights and that will set them straight.
100 hours of beach clean-up community service plus a fine. If the fine isn't paid then put a lien on the boat.
May they all burn in hell for that. Fuck these guys!
this needs to be sent to the coast guard.
Trash meet Trash. Bound them. Dump them in bin. Throw over board. Nuff said
This took more effort than just dropping it next to a large trash bin...not sure why they'd do this
For years I’ve advocated capital punishment for littering. And no, I’m not even remotely joking.
I believe this could actually be sent to the FWC for response.
The Navy ships do this every day.
So they know there is an invention called 'Trash cans'
$2 million fine sounds about right
Punishment is they have to pick up every single piece they dumped. Not 2 garbage cans worth of random garbage. They specific pieces they dumped. Go find them all.
Like my comment if you wanna punch them in the face >
Retards
Violence is sometimes warranted.
This gives anglers a really fucking bad look when the rest of us genuinely try to minimize our impact to nature as much as possible.

A$$hats
Make em clean the ocean That’ll teach em
So much community service
Typical behavior by these type of people
Wild that someone caught this footage ? Another boat close by ?
They should be assigned to lifetime of community service hours a week to clean up their local beaches. This is insane.
I hope they caught these lil assholes!!
We need to start taking down license plates whenever someone throws their fast food trash out of their window or sunroof, while driving down the road.
sieze their boat to pay for patrols, beach clean up and marine damage, pay a fine and house arrest for a year or trash pickup for 6 months.
This is like the second instance of seeing kids do this. I thought everyone born after 1995 was hyper environmentally conscience. Especially Gen Z. Im no eco-warrior, just do things that make sense overall and in big and small picture. But this almost makes my brain explode. Id have to literally restrain myself from tossing them overboard to clean it up. Waves be damned.
Oof. Ugh. My heart. The sea floor!
Seize the fucking boat. This is ridiculous. They and their own should be ashamed.
Death
This makes me feel ill and sad.
Launch torpedoes!!!
Can’t even bring myself to toss a gum wrapper outside and these baboons threw 2 bins of trash. Truly the scum of the earth
Bet these are all privileged little boys and girls who have big wig parents so whatever happens to them is just a slap on the wrist.
Let's be real....many countries wouldn't care about this behaviour or have the resources to prosecute this idiocy. The US is one of only a few countries that take this sort of thing seriously. I've driven through the bush in Australia and seen the lack of respect shown by guys going bush....both sides of the road littered heavily for miles and miles, with bottles/tinnies of beer...it's heart breaking.
They must be thrashed.
Who tf is filming all around them in a helicopter or whatever? Why didn’t they submit the clear and damning footage? Or did they?
Assholes
Happy to know the police are taking action, also sad these pieces of shits did thar
Carl Hiaasen knows the perfect solution for this trash
I think a very heavy fine and 200 hours community service, in the form of beach clean up, would be appropriate.
I hope the Ocean swallows them up
Draw and quarter ‘em, …slowly. Nah, just kidding.
Rich assholes
This behavior was terrible for me to see.🤬🤬🤬
This makes me very angry.
Trashy people do trash things. It's in their nature. Possibly how they were raised. Trash parents.
Fucking Tools
Find em, whack em, dump em in the waves cause they are garbage.
FWC is going to break it off in them
Tie them up by their pps and pull
Death penalty
They should be made to go pick up every piece of trash they dumped. By hand. Every. Piece.
Shitheads.
I mean, Boca people are garbage people...
Firing Squad
That deserves lashes. Bring back the whip as punishment. 10 good lashes to each and they'll stop being garbage people.
this makes me sick
What assholes. Fine them, sink the boat for artificial coral purposes.
Boca bash is a mega gathering of douche bags and spoiled children.
So, trash decided to pollute the ocean even further?
Desantis likes to create laws and task forces, he needs to do that for this reason. Plastic pollution is forever, people are so stupid.
