the raid included mowing the grass, the forcible destruction of both wild and cultivated plants like blackberries, lamb’s quarters and okra

Who'd a knowed okra was a dangerous weed that has to eradicated by an armed SWAT team?!?

It would take more than one SWAT team to clear this place out; we've been working on getting rid of feral horehound, burdock, shepherd's purse, purslane, various amaranths, and catnip for years. And that doesn't include the real weeds: bindweed, buffalo burr, mullein, giant horseweed, cow parsnip, snowberry, skunkbush, poison ivy, ... . 25-30 years of abandonment after a Hippie commune folds will do that to a large acreage.

At least we, and the local fire chief, sees a lot of progress since we bought it, and he had to stop sneaking down the hill to steal apples...now, he just gets them given to him. ;-')

I hope they sue the cops and get richly rewarded for the destruction of their property.
