HOA, a socialist plan to tell you what you can do with your property. I’ll never buy a house in an HOA...
$1900? My fishing rig consisted of a cane pole, a few feet of line with a float, sinker, and hook, plus a box of crickets for bait. Fun times.
Thankfully you did. I’m very happy for you.
I know...so few..I wonder why Reel Animal show (a fishing/boating/hunting on WFLA radio) didn't talk about this moron as their Jackmoron of the week today.
He had every right to tell them to leave.
Did he have the right to ORDER them to leave? The answer is unclear, and almost certainly "no."
Did he have the right, under any circumstances, to commit an armed robbery?
As agent of the HOA, the HOA common property was technically “his”.
If the “kids” were Black, he had justification for fearing retaliation and brandished a gun. It was after all three against one.
There is an issue across the nation with squatters. That is by allowing the “kids” to remain he was in effect setting a precedent for others to come occupy the HOA grounds.
However legalities aside, a more diplomatic resolution would have been preferable
A cane pole? Luxury! My fishing of consists scrap line dug out of a waterside trash can, wrapped around a water bottle, also dug out of the trash can.
“Black?” You’re really going to go there? In this instance to quasi justify the brandishing of a firearm by an HOA tyrant on children fishing? That’s what you’re going with?
Oh yes. In the absence of more knowledge, Black has to be a primary consideration
How many times do I have to repeat that he was stupid for pulling a gun, he absolutely every right to ORDER them to leave.
It’s possible the people were not violating the rules by fishing, if the rules prohibit fishing, it’s incumbent to for the owner to tell them to leave, order them to leave or whatever you want to call it.
I wouldn’t have called the cops...
“The kids told police they estimated the fishing rods and reels to be valued at $1,900”
WHOA!
OK Francis. Take a breath. Your take matches the mugshot perfectly.
I’ll gladly accept that description versus a person where rules and property rights are fluid and negotiable
Kudos to those kids, if their fishing rods were worth $1900. Not saying the weren’t, Florida kids know good equipment.
I think they undervalued their cast nets, depending upon what they had, those can cost a lot also.
A gun? Our HOA has not gone that far yet. All I have to deal with are the security cameras and license plate readers at the two ‘hood entrances. They were installed after a murder during a drug deal gone wrong up on the main road thru here. I guess armed guards will be next. (Believe me, people went batSchiff crazy after the killing ...calling for entry gates, armed guards, drone surveillance, neighborhood watches.)
Yikes, I had no idea 'gators were spread so wide. Sounds like they need some lead-based control!
What happens at the end of breeding season, the younger males have flee because the older males are territorial and will eat the young ones, so the younger males follow water and eventually end up in freshwater areas they don’t belong
Genuine LOL!
