Oregon man in possession of "illicit rainwater" sentenced to jail

According to the article, it's legal to collect rainwater, just not to build unpermitted reservoirs, because water is a public resource in Oregon and can't be privately owned. I'm not sure why, but Oregon.

He has also had these reservoirs for over a decade, apparently, and they already gave him probation last time on the condition that he would open them, which he didn't do, so I don't really think this sentence is all that unreasonable. Nobody can say he didn't get fair warning.
I fully expect this to be picked up and run with by the Alex Jones and Ron Paul people as Obama controlling the water from the free people
 
He's an evil genius, attempting to burn down America by stealing it's water and letting fires roam free. 30 days is too lenient, if you ask me.
