Most SWAT team members enjoy killing humans.

The local government is now responsible for HOA compliance? Let me guess. The mayor's wife, or some other relative, is head of the homeowner's association and is triggered by unmowed grass.

Grain of salt since it is the word of the nuts who police Austin.

Yeah.
And apparently people are ok with that.
Also with the idea that if someone joins a home owners association they can never leave. Sort of like communism, you have to shoot your way out.
And with the idea that if you choose not to join a home owners association they can blatantly forge papers saying you joined.
And if you do not do as ordered they can take your home and sell it.

These things always make me sad and angry at the system. All they have is a hammer and isolated people get hammered, over and over again.
Seriously, how was this guy getting food? Either someone was delivering it or he was going out to buy it himself. That’s always the best way to get inside someone’s social circle, even if the circle has zero others in it.
Social workers are useless because the majority are lazy or stupid. Even if they are competent, the rules are so risk adverse that they can’t actually do anything useful.
So government is just going to keep killing the mentally ill every time there is friction with officialdom and their “rules”.

They needed a robot to let them know the house was on fire? I also see no sign of an overgrown lawn. This photo is purportedly of today's incident.

Do what we say, mow your lawn, comply and obey or we’ll kill you!While that is true in many cases, it appears the man here got himself killed by escalating to shooting at people and starting a fire.

I knew a family that lived in the city of Ithaca who didn’t cut their grass because the grass would feel pain (it’s a living thing) and they might also kill bugs within the grass as collateral damage.
No joke.

Comply and obey with the homeowners associations rules to keep the neighborhood nice beautiful, or we'll kill you and leave a smoking crater where your home used to be.
Neighborhood looks sharp now!

Wouldn't want to accidentally spark a riot now would you?
You MUST state that the victim was White for public safety.

What do you base that absurd claim on?
To: dragnet2
Sombitch should have mowed his lawn.
Of note: He was shot dead because he was shooting at the cops. Almost everyone knows that’s suicide.
Except this guy.
