Another straw that broke the camel's back!
Her neighbors must be real upstanding citizens, etc.
This is totally absurd.
The neighbors must have taken a petition out on her to get the law to act on it.
Yup! Real nice folks in that town.
If I could afford it, I'd hop in my truck & head out that way to stand by & for that gal.
WHAT HAS THIS COUNTRY COME TO?
I suppose my neighbor will call the law for all the deer crap on it next.
What did we do before sprinklers & garden hoses?
This gal needs some help folks-Flood that town with e-mails from all over & they will get the hint.
I better stop before I am banded for life from this site.

The time that is wasted...and people are harassed over the silliest things when so much crime is going on. Last week there was a news story in our area about a female policewoman married to a male firefighter. They lived together in South Milwaukee, but she maintained a residence in Milwaukee itself because police are required to live in the town if they work there. The city spent five years keeping her under surveillance to prove that while she spent time at her place, she didn't actually live there. Five years of wasted time and money for something like this. Now I understand the rule, but should she give up her job in this instance? It's not like she was too far from the city she works in; she could be there in minutes. Her husband was in a service position, too. Such a waste.

A wiser person than me once said " the law is a -ss nothing has changed. Where I live, this summer ,everyones' lawn was brown including all city property. This has been our driest summer in many years. We are asked to abide by a waterless Wednesday rule because we need to conserve our water as the reservoir levels are down.

it is so unhappy, unwell, twisted, fuc*ed up, that is a lotf of issues. that is human beings and thoughts like this that practice and factor out the destructive and darkish factors of the internet. human beings get obsessed to the factor that that is merely risky. heavily, killing one yet another over facebook and myspace, commencing fights because of the fact somebody observed a bulletin or a remark...and the human beings who tape those fights and positioned them up on youtube are no further perfect, because of the fact they do no longer something to offer up it. I admit i've got laughed at a number of those movies earlier, yet i know if i grow to be in those situations i might easily be attempting to offer up the combat or calling somebody, no longer exposing it as one among countless variations of a similar video. the internet is a stable and strong gadget, yet that tale exhibits merely how risky that is besides.

That is so stupid....Its her choice if she wishes to not water her garden! Is that really an offensive! If its bugging the council or whatever that much...help the poor lady out and get someone to do it for her! Instead of battering, and publicly embarrassing her! Show some compassion !!

Words cannot describe the outrage you feel when you see this.
And the Police Commissioner, will have a perfect answer, to protect his motley crew.

That is absolutely ridiculous. She is most likely on a fixed income, and can not afford to water her grass. Then she would have to pay someone to cut it. I don't water my grass either. I can not afford to, with just me working.
