![They will murder you for your grass [1080x1378 - 450KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/dGJHfw.jpg){kind=link}
Their main goal Wednesday was to get the man in compliance with the local homeowners association.
Wait a fucking minute. This was the cops enforcing HOA rules? How is this a thing?
Never heard of this. HOA should be fining him, if he doesn't pay the fines eventually they can get a foreclosure or garnishment.
Exactly, it's a civil matter, not one for the cops.
Makes me think the guy is a known troublemaker or something. Maybe he made threats to the HOA. Not saying it's right to kill him or anything, but this might explain why the police were involved. If the HOA calls a guy and says "You need to mow your lawn, or we'll fine you" and he says "Fuck off, I'll shoot any one of you that comes near my property", that might be a problem?
I'm just speculating, idk the guy, but he doesn't sound very reasonable...
They were enforcing a city ordinance, not HOA. The city started cutting his lawn and he started shooting. @fridayjones posted the story.

So it's a case of shitty journalism then.
Cops won't enforce and uphold the laws of the United states but they will enforce a fucking homeowner association's arbitrary rule?
Fundamental transformation of America.
Yes; That is what the article says. It was an HOA thing. Not a city ordinance.
Real world is that HOAs are mini-governments.
But let's suppose it was a city ordinance; does that warrant killing someone for not cutting their grass? I know the article states he started shooting because people were trespassing on his property because a city or HOA ordinance required the grass be cut. In his view were there trespassers on his property? Most likely.
Talk about the big machine not being able to de-escalate.
