93 Days in Jail

This is Detroit dammit! You shoot somebody...well, maybe we can let that slide but plant a garden in your front lawn? Fuck that shit! You're going down bitch!

This is absolutely idiotic. And yet the criminals, junkies, and scumbags get off light more oft than not. Screw it. She should fight with all she has and hopefully her community backs her up.

They are afraid of real criminals.

But...she broke the law. Doesn't she deserve to be put to death?

It is her property and she should be able to grow whatever she wants even if she puts the garden on top of her home.

It's not trivial if it affects property values.

No it does not. Property values are still falling and look where she lives.

Another invasion of personal rights. I hope she wins for all of our sakes.

She needs to win or we might all be in for a lot more meddling into our lives.

No it does not. Property values are still falling and look where she lives.

I'm thinking in the aspect that possible home buyers don't want to buy a house next to a yard that looks like what they consider to be "shit".

That definitely has an affect on value. Not to the degree of shootings or whatnot but still enough to have neighbors tattle on her.

could you have Bamboo in your front yard? that's a grass

It's not trivial if it affects property values.

IMO I'd side with her as I think well manicured lawns uniformly stamped out are boring and a little bit cultist. Just look at many home owner's associations. So many rules and so little freedom. This is a similar situation even without any association calling the shots.

As far as the garden thing it reminds me of the trees everyone has in the patch of lawn closest to the road. Those are technically the cities trees and they own them thus you aren't allowed to remove them etc....

Also sidewalks iirc. If they need to be worked on, the home owner has to pay. However it's considered public property therefore if it snows and children and other people can't walk on it safely then you're to blame.

It's a balancing act and the laws don't always provide logical reasoning. On one had if everything were made public there would be no ownership of anything and no one would pay for anything to be fixed....they didn't screw it up or only did a small part why should they pay the most? If everything is private you can turn your own yard into a junk yard and sell car parts with 12 pit pulls running around. After all it's you're fucking land right?

There needs to be a system to weed out cases like this that really aren't problematic. Let the block decide perhaps; let them vote on it sorta like if a block of people want to have a block party. You can have the road closed etc...as long as everyone agrees.

I understand all that, but I bet if there was an old rusting car and a half dozen used washing machines in the front yard nothing would've been said.

I personally think it's a bit "loopy" to put a garden in the front, it looks bad, kids would either vandalise it or steal the vegies, but at least it's "green".

Cool.

& Casey Anthony gets 10 days??

Cool.

The fact that this woman has no chance in Hell of ever doing any jail time not withstanding.....Casey Anthony actually did over 3 years in prison.....which she was credited for in serving her 4 consecutive 1 year sentences for the crimes in which she was convicted for (a total of 4 years). She only owed 10 more days when the years she already served and good time she earned were deducted from the 4 years total she was sentenced to.
