Did the guy at least own a dog that the SWAT jackasses could shoot?

"He doesn't want to fit in with the rest of the neighborhood," said Kevin Marrs, neighbor.

Tough s$^%. His property, not yours. Stupid home owners ASSociations.

Of course it is the fault of the home owner in the first place for buying a house covered by home owners ASSociation rules.

“He doesn’t want to fit in with the rest of the neighborhood,” said Kevin Marrs, neighbor.

key quote here

gotta use those swat teams if you’re gonna have em.

Ridiculous and dishonest headline.

If the idiot doesn’t like cutting his grass then don’t live in a neighborhood where it’s required. Kill the grass and put down gravel. Roundup is faster than a lawnmower.

[Awestruck]

as much as i hate the idea of anyone telling me what to do with my property, there are two separate issues here and the title is misleading. The SWAT team was not called because the man refused to cut his lawn. They were called because the man pulled a shotgun on the city lawn crew. No, I don’t believe in homeowner’s associations or in giving them any power, yes I believe in homeowner’s rights and the RKBA. HOWEVER, if you pull a shotgun on someone who is (albeit forcibly)mowing your lawn, the authorities will of course get involved.

He reminds me of teenagers who are determined that no one is going to tell them what to do. I remind them that, some day, someone WILL tell you what to do. Tall grass is NOT worth dying for.

The man doesn't fit in the hood with all of the other sheep so we need a swat team???

[taxtruth]

Remember folks,your property is not yours.You only think you own it.

[sport]

I suppose that he was silly enough to think that he owned the property since he paid the taxes pn it and his name was probably on the deed.

One thing for sure is that he was eucated real quick.

Leave the man alone. Like tall grass is harming anyone.

AP-
SWAT team members today are going house to house searching for conservative paraphernalia. These conservatives “just don't fit in” according to police sources.

There was a lot going on in my mind at that point

Yeah, in his pants, too. I'd bet.

[Starwolf]

What about a monkey wrenching approach...

As the mower guy gets ready to do his thing, through large nuts and bolts into the tall grass. At that point they would have to stop for safety reasons and to protect their equipment.
