what happened
Anyone who mindlessly believes that we are still “free” is an idiot. Hate me if you want,but you know it’s the truth.
The guy had over a hundred chickens some living
in his house, the problem is that he lived in
Roswell when it was country, and it’s not that
any more. Certainly the city was overboard and
I expect there will be lawsuits.
Committed suicide during and eviction standoff with police. Evicting him over chickens.
Libertarian ping
These monsters should be arrested, charged and convicted of murder.
What a horrible story.
As a result of the announcement, his home was broken into, ransacked and vandalized, and his firearms and ammunition were stolen.
Any crimes committed with those stolen weapons should be charged against the foul bastards responsible for making it public knowledge that they were unguarded.
Tyrannical City Government PING!
A good friend of mine lived three doors down from this fellow until she moved about six months ago.
We were talking about this around the time it happened, and from what she said this article is just a bit . . . slanted. The guy was a little odd, had fought with all his neighbors, and his house was a dump since he let the chickens inside. He had not only chickens but turkeys, and he had lots and lots of them, far more than the zoning allows (I think you can have six). Needless to say there were complaints, which he ignored, and then the city and the code folks got involved. There was a long battle, he got cited, fought it, lost, got probation, he violated probation, went to jail, his house went into foreclosure . . . . which all apparently pushed him over the edge.
Any time you live close to other people, there have to be some rules so that what you do on your property does not bother your neighbors. We are not exactly Yard of the Month candidates ourselves, so I do have some sympathy for this man, but if he really wanted to live with farm animals in the living room, he needed to move to a 20 acre parcel rather than stay in a densely populated suburban neighborhood where everybody else had to put up with it.
He could have worked this out, but the combination of intransigence and imbalance was fatal.
Throughout history when the citizens of a nation find that they can not and will not be accorded either justice or redress from those, Judges, bureaucrats, or politicians, tasked with administering justice and or redress, the citizens find they must correct these miscreants, quite often violently, by hanging, guillotine, or simply shooting.
From watching what is happening in our nation, a correct observation would be that judges, bureaucrats, and politicians, have failed to study or acquire any knowledge of such history.
Someone have his address? I work nearby.
Zimmerman is is the same situation!
