So we really are just slaves of the state...

[Ichneumon]

["But neighbors and officials said Davis' lawn is an eyesore and he's flaunted the law..."]

No, he's flouted the law. The judge is going to flaunt the law to Davis.

*applause*.

(There are *soooo* many editors these days who need to be flogged.)

[Bon mots]

I feel much better knowing that this villain is behind bars and OJ is free.

Not slaves. Not yet by far. Just in danger of losing more liberties after already having lost many.

[Liberal Classic]

Slowly, we're trading away property rights, for expected property values.

I couldn't take 3 years of someone's life because they have junk in their yard.

That's not why they are doing it. He is asking them to do it.

Tyranny of government.

[BlackbirdSST]

Tyranny of government.

You could add to that, nosey neighbors that don't know how to mind their own business. Anything like this in WV, hell 3/4's of the State is going down. Blackbird.

not only live near this person but own a rental near by and try to rent it,first: this person was ordered to clean up quite awhile ago and the city took all the garbage away,when the city auctioned it off Davis had a buddy buy it and bring it back,second: he took his butt junk and wrote all the town gov. officials names on it,third: he did in deed put car parts,barrels,tires and other debris on his roof after the first order came,on the second order he had his work truck and his wife's car impounded for back monies owed on junk violations,perhaps he should have just moved to a location that has no town zoning,imagine if your next door neighbor threw there kitchen garbage out on their lawn because someday it will become compost!! How would anyone like to live near that,if your going to be a collector of anything than keep it out of sight not on the roof!!
