Pawngo, an internet pawn shop, wanted to make a statement about Wes Walker's catching ability yesterday.
As Universalhub reports, the company dumped 900 pounds of Butterfinger candy bars in Copley Square yesterday and left a sign saying "Thank you, Wes Walker."
Many eager passers-by were seen grabbing Butterfingers, but not everyone was so pleased. At least two citizens made complaints via the City of Boston website, and the City will be issuing a fine for commercial dumping, which Universalhub says is up to $1,000.
So, Back Bay, is this an injustice or Pawngo's just desserts? Vote and leave a comment!
Thanks. We'll email you the next time we update this story.

50/50! Look at that, an even split so far.

They dumped but no one had to clean, right? Can you really fine someone for making a dumb joke just because the joke was on you?
