If a car crashed into a pole in front of my house and looked like it was about to explode, Would i run and grab the guy and pull him out of his car to save his life?

I know i would BUT nowadays one has to at least sort of wonder would it be worth it.

I’d probably be fined for something AND sued up the ying yang for my effort.

Another boot heel in the back of the neck, courtesy of The People's Republic of Maryland. I'll be up there next week for my annual family Christmas get-together. And I really hope I run into this tin-badge-ain't-qualified-to-sell-used-cars a$$hole up there.

Really. I mean, really.

Props to cripplecreek for the graphics!

Forget the cabin in the woods because those seemingly peaceful woods are the habitat of the Armed & Rangerous, AKA ParkPersons. Those combat booted clowns are carrying full auto weapons and fancy themselves to be real world Rambo types.

You are in luck! Just last week it was reported on FNC and elsewhere that THE UNIBOMBER’s shack and the land upon which it sets in Montana actually IS for sale. I think I recall a figure of around $60K. With no electricity or “conveniences” that is probably overpriced. Might make a real buy if you haggle with ‘em a little!

“This is the last stand on Earth” - Reagan.”

Custer also had his “last stand”.
At the rate it is going, living in America will soon be like the Soviet Union of the 60s.
Soon, they will be writing tickets for saying Merry Christmas
in public.

So protest, hand out flyers, tell a neighbor, organize people at your church to support good candidates for office.

Oh wait, you can’t, you’re traveling.

I wonder what the fine would have been to retrieve frozen venison from the water.

Would have made a nice Christmas dinner.

Glad to see there are decent people who cared enough to take the trouble to rescue the deer. They deserve an award, not a ticket.

______________________
That is all very nice, but quite simplistic and naive.
You are just preaching to the choir.

When you have 45% or so of the population still thinking that the narcissistic Marxist impostor is just swell, and PUBIC school students being indoctrinated, from K through PHD, to be good little Commies, you have a very big up hill battle.
Yes, it was gratifying that we took the house, still not knowing who among them will be RINO traitors, but the trend still points down hill.

Yes, I am traveling, but I do not have to worry about
getting a $100 fine for throwing a crummy newspaper into the trash can, or a gestapo cop getting his jollies by roughing me up or giving me a stupid ticket.
Also, I am too old to have a child in kindergarten being taught how to put on a condom, or having a teacher teaching me to sing “MMM MMM MMM” for an illegal MARXIST POTUS.

Always remember: before rescuing drowning animals, you must have the all-important flotation device.

Nanny State PING!

No, we didn’t have vests on, but we’re not 16 years old,” Abusakran said. “There were personal floating devices on the boat.” The ticket itself doesn’t check off any specific violation, just a $90 fine. They’ll fight it in court, as they fought for the deer.

Maryland state government has gone completely mad.

The intent is to make us all criminals.

Silly utopianists.

They haven't thought this through.

They don't really want us to go there. (In for a penny, in for a pound.)

My buddy bought this sweet plot of land in the middle of the woods in nowhere NH for 5 grand a few years back.
Not sure on the size but it’s pretty big.
No water, no electricity or anything like that.
We use it for camping, hiking, dirt biking etc.

When the crap finally hits the fan thats probably where i’ll head.
Ugh....

All you get is the couple acres the cabin was on. The cabin was moved to a museum or something.

If you must pay the fine, send the city a check for $0.01 at a time.
