What’s up with this???
I could see this happening in California, New York, or Maryland, but Oklahoma?
I thought Oklahoman’s were a well-grounded and sane bunch.
Yeah, the money quote is that “she had problems with these people in the past”. There is likely more here than is being reported.
In other words, she should sue the crap out of the taxpayers.
There. Fixed it.
I'm trying to get my head around what's happening in America and everything I see is just making me more and more confused.
Just what harm was this woman doing to anyone? What was their justification for this horrendous abuse? How in the Hell did America decay into this state?
It's obvious that things are spinning out of control. What the spark will be, where it will occur, and when... those are still unknown... but I don't think things can continue like this much longer.
Absolutely. And it starts with the property tax. A friend of mine wanted to buy, iirc, a 100-acre spread in the foothills east of Sacramento. He could afford 100 acres but he could not afford the yearly property tax on 100 acres without coming up with some way to supplement his income to pay the tax.
He told me that every single one of his neighbors who had purchased larger pieces of land had been forced to become cattle ranchers to pay the tax as that was the easiest way to do it.
You could raise some kind of crop but that's even more work, and most of them already had jobs they couldn't leave.
When you get older and can't manage the cattle ranching business you've been forced into, nor pay the tax any longer, you either sell your property and move into Wrinkle City or the government will swoop down and take it all away from you.
The self-reliant lifestyle in America disappeared a long time ago. And the SOBs mean for us never to get it back.
I would like to see some pictures of her garden. If it was anything like what the guy next door is growing I would have cheered to have it removed.
IF as she said it was well maintained then this is absolutely awful.
IF it is the rat trap that is next door—— burn it to the ground.
What!? There must be at least a Trillion plants that are not eaten and are over 12" and are commonly used in yards across the US. I'm thinking of Iris's, well-fed daffodils, tulips, rhodies, lilacs, roses, and on and on. What's next... light bulbs?
It's not that government is edging towards tyranny, away from soft tyranny, or whatever.... it's here folks. We're living it. The only thing the gov't can do in response to stopping this krap is to institute Hard Tyranny.
Well, yes. That’s the unfortunate effect, but the city officials should be held accountable, rather than being allowed to run amok.
In regards to Mr. Worden, see monteen’s comment in the link. There are always two sides to every story.

You know, if you really would like to see the garden in question, you could click the link.
By doing that, you would become informed, and decide if the lady should be able to have a garden, or if you think the local authorities should vandalize it.
Yeah those thumbnails were stunning.... which is why I don’t consider them pictures.
SHow me the house front and back....
Self reliance is a serious threat to the tyrants that wish to control every aspect of your life. That's why the tyrants will make an example of anyone that attempts any form of self reliance as a lesson to any others that would dare to imitate such behavior
It's a question of which is more important to Oklahomans ~ neat lawns or live babies.
I'm afraid they've made their choice.

I’ll get right on it!
While, of course, you are trying to figure out the point.
How does that help anything, as the damages would be paid from taxpayer funds - yes, the woman harmed gets damages, but the public officials that did this have no consequences, and no incentive to not do it again.
The lawsuit needs to target the individuals that violated her rights. Perhaps then, things might change.

They should have been dodging bullets.
And just what would that be?
