Do what we say, mow your lawn, comply and obey or we’ll kill you!

Problem solved!

This whole episode is tragic and absurd beyond belief. I seriously doubt those involved will learn anything form it. And that’s an even grater tragedy.

“… Their main goal Wednesday was to get the man in compliance with the local homeowners association.…”

The local government is now responsible for HOA compliance?

Btw, they sure in hell didn’t need a $100,000 robot to determine the house was on fire.

The robot helped officers determine that a fire had been started in the home, and was quickly spreading

See, these expensive tax paid robots are needed to let the authorities know the house is on fire. Otherwise they would have never figured it out.

So the mental health worker and crisis negotiator couldn’t get this guy to surrender? So much for the leftist train of thought that they’ll work better than police.
Anyhow what the actual f is going on in our society when we force a conflict due to uncut grass?

Something not said, when this is done, after the lawn care, a bill is sent to the homeowner. And failure to pay it may result in a lien on the home.

My Texas ‘city’ lets the grass/weeds/ragweed grow way too much.

So now residents are killed because of a ‘city code’ ???

SHOULD HAVE CALLED SOCIAL WORKER!
