too bad they couldn’t use those resources to police the border with Mexico
Did this get out of hand? Yes ... definitely. But what was the factor that took it over the edge? Was it the Karen that reported the overgrown lawn? Was it the city lawn crew that showed up to process the city order to mow the lawn? Was it the city ordinance that says a homeowner must keep his/her property in a somewhat attractive state? Or was it the homeowner that started shooting at the city lawn crew?
It is possible that one of the guys in that pic was the one that got the opportunity to shoot a Citizen.
My thoughts exactly.
The city deciding to enforce a code violation with government guns to back it up. That is a bit over the top, don't you think?
Again, SWAT didn’t show up until the guy started shouting at the city crew.
Last spring, my "citified" neighbors (with an empty lot) called Code Enforcement on me. "I had too much ivy growing against my house, and an enclosed automobile trailer didn't have a license plate". Threats of daily fines were texted to me.
So, with hired help, I pulled out all the ivy, got a rash, paid $300 for a prescription lotion, and got a tag for the trailer that had been there for 25 years without complaint.
These new complainants had inherited the lot, destroyed the house on it—tearing up MY fence in the process.
With much irony, the ivy had grown up the fence, over to my house, and I liked the shade it provided, didn't have to paint that side and it looked nice, anyway.
It had grown from the decedent's garden from THEIR property!
You mean shooting at the trespassers that didn’t have the property owners permission to be there.
Why do you keep over looking at fact? Couldn’t be an agenda could it...
They are a hell of lot of people on here [Free Republic.com] who support Red Flag Laws. They were discussed here in at least one thread. Probably more.
In hindsight, maybe it would have been easier to sit in your house and shoot at people. /s
I think my next move will be to an unincorporated area.
I wasn't clear.
My new "citified" neighbors live three hours away, and want to sell the lot. This IS is an unincorporated area!
Why do you keep overlooking the fact that according to city ordinances they did have the right to be there?
What gives the City a “right” to tell you the length of your grass?
Your Communist is showing...
Dude … I don’t make the laws but they do exist. Take it up with your city … not me.
Good day.
