A hardline judge has fined and ridiculed a 72-year-old Michigan man with lymphoma, ruling that he “should be ashamed” of being too weak to mow his overgrown lawn.
Burhan Chowdhury of Hamtramck, a community about six miles north of Detroit, admittedly fell behind in yard maintenance after he was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes in 2019. His overgrown property prompted local officials to subpoena Chowdhury.

A judge after your own heart.
Better the cancer patient isnt black.
No, apparently they’ll complain to the police instead.
This isn’t the only psychopath sitting on the bench.

SOME PEOPLE do help others out.

*** Wouldn’t a neighbor mow his lawn for him, if he was sick? ***
I have mowed my neighbor’s lawns, and had mine mown for various reasons over the years. It seems weird to me some people don’t do “neighborly” acts of kindness.
Would like to give jail time for not keeping up with lawn maintenance? Yes, the judge is a psychopath.
What?
It sounds Indian. Probably not Muslim.
Would you say O’Brien sounds Russian?
Agreed. Some may not realize.
son was in Bangladesh
If he goes to jail will his bail be $500k.
I mean not mowing your lawn is worse than murder.
A real neighbor would.
He knew the neighbor had a stroke, and he called the county? He could have helped out himself?
