"On the evening of October 21, 2011 as guests were arriving for the first ever "Farm to Fork Dinner" at Quail Hollow Farm, Southern Nevada Health Inspector Mary Oakes under orders from Supervisor Susan LeBay, formerly a pool inspector in 2005, showed up as well and ultimately ordered the Bledsoes to pour bleach on the delectable local meats and vegetables skillfully prepared by Chef Gio of Nora's Italian Cuisine in Las Vegas." www.farmtoconsumer.org/quail-hollow-farm-dinner-usa.htmwww.farmtoconsumer.org/quail-hollow-farm-dinner.htm

In the first place, A 90 year old woman is not able to clean up her yard, and if she has to live on a Social Security Check, she doesn't have enough money to clean up her yard.
Now if she has children, they should have kept it clean for her all along, or paid to have it kept clean.
And on the other hand, I think there should be some kind of reasonable regulation of some kind, that would prevent a person from letting their property become a rat, disease- infested place that would be a hazzard to a person's health or an eyesore to the community. But as for the government sending someone to jail for it..... that is totally out of line.
And I don't want Government of any kind, or SCDOT being able to take my land anytime they choose so that they can profit, big time themselves, or put a busy highway right across my property.
And I don't think that any kind of Government, local or state, or Federal, should be able to tell a person how many yard sales they can have. I hate yard sales.....but I still have them at times...and believe that anyone should have the right to have as many as they choose to have, as long as they keep their customers on their own property.....and off the neighbors' property.
As long as they are healthy and able, People or their family members, should be responsible enough for their own pride within themselves to want to keep their yards clean.
But on reading the article you gave a link to, after I posted, I realize I should have read it before I posted.....that would have been the logical thing I should have done. Because I just saw that 2 decades ago, she would have been 70.....but that doesn't matter either....because I am 66, and I don't feel like working in the yard very long at a time....expecially long enough to clean that mess up. (Diabetes working on my nerve endings....feet, legs, back and hands.)
Jail should not have been an option, nevertheless, in my opinion.

Well, all of us can thank our current administration for alot of this crap going on right now and they're getting away with it. When have you ever been asked to show the contents of your luncbag at school and been told that it was not a balanced meal? At what point will outrage be seen? The only way some of this stuff is going on is because Folks are being intimidated and dumbed down. Fear of loss of livilihood, a jail stretch or whatever might have to be overcome by actually speaking out or we may well be overrun.

www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2012/03/12/9-year-old-tasered.htmlOfficer Scott O’Neil, who used the Taser twice Tuesday morning on 9-year-old Jared Perry... My child is almost 9. My child is well behaved, however, if there were any discipline problems, I, the parent, would handle it. If anyone, cop or not, used a taser on my child, I promise you - they would never walk again... The boy in this story was not attacking the officer, all he was doing was "resisting arrest" by laying on the floor (like dead weight) on top of his hands so that he could not be handcuffed. A 9 year old, at home, "resisting arrest", for not attending school! And the dumb@zz tased him! The officer is understandably suspended, but should be fired.

“I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world. I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom’s annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an entree into the diplomatic world that Washington does not have.” —Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York New York City: Prototype Of The American Police State? njtoday.net/2012/03/12/new-york-city-prototype-of-the-american-police-state/One increasingly invasive NYPD tactic is the practice of stopping and frisking everyday people on the street without any evidence of wrongdoing. These activities are a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. In 2011 alone, 684,330 people were stopped and frisked by the police, a 14% increase since 2010. 88% were totally innocent.
... Outside of spying on innocent people, the NYPD is also infamous for its crackdowns on protesters. During the 2004 Republican National Convention, 1,806 protestors were arrested, but most of the arrests were thrown out of court and the subsequent litigation cost the city $8 million. More recently, when Occupy Wall Street protestors were cleared out of Zucotti Park on November 15, 2011, the NYPD prevented the media from accessing the park. Police asked to see press credentials (which are not necessary for public areas such as Zucotti) and those who showed their press credentials were herded off into a penned in area. Later on, a photographer tried to take a picture of a bloodied protestor being dragged away by police, only to have officers slam a barricade into his body while telling him that he wasn’t allowed to take photos.
