That’ll teach him to axe silly ass questions.
animal hoarding???
Obviously this woman is a bit unbalanced.
But if you’re going into someone’s home with the intent to deprive them of their property or liberty, don’t be surprised if they don’t go along with the program.
“animal hoarding???”
You never know when there might be a shortage. Everything’s going along smoothly, then all of a sudden the world is low on cats.
Those who refuse to surrender their property and go along with what governments deem right, seem to often be dismissed as crazy, and arrested if not killed. This is often aided by the fact that they are sometimes a little nuts.
man bites dog story. Irory at it’s best
That's some stun gun. Hmmm. Methinks that would take a cylinder about a foot and a half in diameter and ten feet long.
Waiting for the market to go up.
Dammit, I was about to say that!!
There is a mental illness of animal hoarding, but when I saw that PETA was involved in this case, I automatically thought that there may be another side to this story.
PETA membership is a mental illness, also...
All I can say about this is that it is about time someone gave these coppers a taste of their own medicine as they have gone overboard on tasering citizens.
Yes, it is easier to pick on crazy people. I wonder if that is the plan, to chip away at everyone’s rights by doing it first to less-sympathetic people.
Most likely, this was an off-the-shelf unit — you can even get million-volt versions. The high voltages would be accompanied with very low amps & a nonlethal level of Wattage.
For a lot of men, no pussy is a bad thing.
I don’t care if she was really a loon or not, what matters is that people are fed up with the mis-use of power.
A police state will only create a larger anti-police sentiment.
In reading the article and a few of the comments, there appears to be much more involved in this action than one might first think.
Politics, PETA and local power struggles combined with a caring, but overwhelmed woman, who has what looks to be a nice place in the country, combine in this story. To no ones advantage it seems.
