Agreed. That this could happen in this country is troubling at best.
Uncle Guys! I’m sorry. I don’t think most cops are out of control. I guess it’s a life experience thing. Now if we were talking about judges..:’)
If my grass is over 6 “ tall they mow it for me and send me a bill. $100 for a teeny tiny front lawn... I also am not allowed to have an A/C unit unless I take it out in the winter. Same thing for an outside cover (like a tarp over the back porch). My cats must be on a leash. I must get permission to change the layout of my fence or put up new numbers on the front my house. I cannot stain my fence any darker than its “natural color” (gray). I cannot have more than one of the same plant in a row or it is a “natural fence”. My trash cans cannot be seen from the street except on trash day. I cannot cut down the cherry tree in my front yard. The rules go on and on and on... I am, however, allowed to let my lawn “die back to it’s natural state” in the summer.... LOL!
I was going to say "Welcome to FreeRepublic", but it seems you've been here for a while. ;-)
I don't like it when it's either way.
Recent events have made me more sensitive to the MSM's covering up of crimes committed by blacks against whites - such as the difference in the coverage between the boys from Duke and say the rape/torture/double-murder in Tennessee.
Imagine if the races were reversed in this case.
You would see this on every single channel.
South LA would explode.
Jesse and Al would be on every channel, etc.
And I’m an avid gardener. Don’t forget that. :)
Thank you for giving me that information. Papers never give you the ‘other side of the story,’ and now you have. I appreciate it so much.
Thanks for the warning. It's always good to know who's carrying pruning shears!
When we moved in, the City Fathers told us to plant trees and lawn. We did so. Now, after approving unrestricted growth and hundreds of new houses, they have changed their tune: plant desert plants, use very little water on them and change the lawn into a rock garden. Lawmakers are are mentally defective!
Perhaps I should expand my profile. Now that you mention the gardening/shears connection, I probably should try to soften my image a bit. A photo of my favourite revolver, for example, might make me seem more human. :)
I cannot argue against that. The double standard enrages me to no end. Of course, I'm also irked when conservatives show a double standard because I think we're better than that. But, you were consistent. Thank you.
LOL. Always nice to make a new FRiend! I agree that firearms always help keep things civil :-)
One hopes. :)
Holy crap, I couldn’t live like that. That’s NUTS!
“What hath bad cops wrought?”
Yes, Orem is a nice place. Bad cops are bad cops. Sometimes, though, they continue to be bad because the people (we the people) let them get away with it. If this cop is not fired the good people of Orem need to start replacing those who can effect that kind of justice.
Gotcha.
I don’t worry about PC, myself.
I respect people of every race.
I have dated people of every race, so it’s not just BS.
I see that European (white) Christians are legitimate targets around the world, for criticism, discrimination, outright theft and worst of all, violence.
Yes, I will be very glad when we move... :(
Good luck with that!
Which demonstrates that age-old saying: An armed internet forum is a polite internet forum.
so you’re the busybody douche bag that called the cops on her, eh?
