Prayers up for John Allen.
Typical political writing. So, what is their definition of unruly grass?
Grass is too high?
Grass is too low?
Blades of grass are arguing with each other?
Blades of grass are grouping in gangs?
Grass is singing 'Give peace a chance' all night long after smoking one of their own??
Your attempt to protect the English language is appreciated, but if “unruly” is the language of the statute/ordinance, it simply means “not managed.”
Dude ! ROFLMBO ! Please ! It's lunchtime at the keyboard and now I need to clean it !
It’s an awful story and it’s a sweet story.
Sometimes being independent means being willing to accept the kindness of strangers (I must be channeling Blanche Dubois today).
Don’t try this where illegal aliens have moved in; those broke down cars are going to stay in the front and back yards.
The city would get hammered by the ACLU and other criminal protection organizatiion.
Ain’t freedom grand?
Grass that argues with you when you smoke it ?
ROFLOL! I like it!
Sadly, one of the hardest things for the elderly to accept is the loss of independence they had in their younger days. Here’s hoping he’ll have learned his lesson and accept help when offered.
When we lock up 86 year-old American citizens in jail for this kind of insipid nonsense, it tells me that the American judicial system is severely broken and that America, as the bastion of freedom in the world, has gone the way of the dinosaurs and dodo birds.
What a sad statement about a once great nation. However, kudos to the guards who have more honor and integrity than those responsible for the judicial system.
"Unruly" grass is grass that makes demeaning comments at passersby that are intended to embarrass and/or humiliate. Because their free speech is protected (as a protected minority), there is little that the judicial system can do to limit to prevent their verbal assault.
Apparently, locking up their 86 year-old owner is about the only remedy!!
/sarc
He also refused the help of an organization that assists the elderly and he rejected offers from his neighbors.
His pride may be the source of his problems.
I hope, as I advance in years, that I will always be able to tell the difference between pride and dignity.
I can understand why this man doesn’t want any locals on his property. The locals delight in imprisoning an old man because they don’t like the look of his property.
Man this is FR all problems in the world can be blamed on Mexicans, Muslims or Gay people. (or some combination of those 3)
“”Unruly” grass is grass that makes demeaning comments at passersby that are intended to embarrass and/or humiliate.”
Too funny:)!
