IF I understand the reporting, Rand was piling brush, etc., ON HIS OWN PROPERTY-—most likely for removal or burning.
The brush was NOT on the other guy’s property. IF anyone got after me for what brush/debris/lawn clipping I had ON MY PROPERTY, I would give them quite a tongue lashing.
There has no reporting indicating there was anything unsafe about the lawn clippings.
Im thinking I read the Pauls use it for compost, or some portion of the pile.
Bonus question: what is the incidence of criminal insanity among anesthesiologists?
