Ridiculous?: Woman Goes to Jail for Not Mowing Lawn

Woman Goes to Jail for Not Mowing Lawn

Craziness continues to grow and it may be worth reminding ourselves of the well known quote from Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged' --
"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."

By Emily Scharnhorst. October 17th, 2014

"The trend of average U.S. citizens being incarcerated by overzealous judges and prosecutors within the police state formerly known as America continues with reckless abandon. In fact, these sorts of cases are becoming so commonplace I simply cannot keep up with all of them."

"The following story is a perfect follow-up to my piece earlier today, which shows how American public school students are being arrested or harassed by police for the most minor of infractions, such as wearing too much perfume, sharing a classmate's chicken nuggets, throwing an eraser or chewing gum."

"If you are an adult American slave, you can add not mowing your lawn to the list of prison-worthy crimes in the police state"............. -->
