They put that 82-year-old lady in jail for not paying her trash bill. Are you kidding me? When the hell are they going to start putting real criminals in jail?
makes not one bit of difference. when it comes to municipal, state or federal non-payment of any fee or tax, they'll come get it with jack boots stomping and both barrels blastin'. it usually takes several missed payments though. i agree this story goes deeper than a $77 trash pick-up fee. being arrested for nonpayment of 15 years taxes or something similar isn't a good story. busting an old lady for 77 bucks is. hell, we're talking about it, right?Many 82 yo's are on diminished financial income. Or sometimes diminished mental capacity.
I think she's been a chronic non-payer. But it still seems insane to arrest her. Arrests should be reserved for violent crimes, serious theft, and major felonies. No one should be arrested for inspection stickers, expired registrations, etc.makes not one bit of difference. when it comes to municipal, state or federal non-payment of any fee or tax, they'll come get it with jack boots stomping and both barrels blastin'. it usually takes several missed payments though. i agree this story goes deeper than a $77 trash pick-up fee. being arrested for nonpayment of 15 years taxes or something similar isn't a good story. busting an old lady for 77 bucks is. hell, we're talking about it, right?
If the police are not willing to stand up and say "we're not arresting an elderly lady. Find another way", they also are not going to stand up when the Marxist pols tell them to start kicking down doors, and confiscating guns. I think that's part of the Marxist attacks on police. The reasonable officers, who are experienced and patriotic, are being driven out, and replaced by toadies who are trained to obey their Marxist overseers.This has nothing to do with 2A rights......its about court overreach in a non common sense way.
The bad press and the shitting on they will get for this will be epic.
That said, from what I read she is a repeat offender. Pay your fing trash bill lady.....you know the rules and its not your first rodeo. While I think its exceptional overreach,
if you don't follow the laws down south, they don't let you get off scott free like a non paying shit head up here in the northeast. We all bitch about the free shit army getting
away with everything up here....well.......that's the other option.....enforcement.
Yeah, shes done this more than once. She donates to the church, runs a daycare out of her home and has grandkids, which means she has grown children. She's not paying because she doesn't want to pay. Bad optics to arrest a woman her age but its the same as cops handcuffing 9 year olds at school. People practically dare you to do it sometimes.That said, from what I read she is a repeat offender.

They put her in jail for failure to appear to a summons by the court. Not for the trash bill. Judges don’t like to be ignored.They put that 82-year-old lady in jail for not paying her trash bill. Are you kidding me? When the hell are they going to start putting real criminals in jail?
I agree. When the man pays your salary, benefits, and pension.......very few if any will stand up. They will say they are doing their job. In this case of a repeat offender they are not going to lose their job under a judges order.If the police are not willing to stand up and say "we're not arresting an elderly lady. Find another way", they also are not going to stand up when the Marxist pols tell them to start kicking down doors, and confiscating guns. I think that's part of the Marxist attacks on police.

That's what happened in Russia, China and Cambodia.
i'm a chronic non-payer of everything civic. the woman in the collectors office says as long as you make an effort, the wolf will stay away from your door. i guess they're not so benevolent in her part of the country.I think she's been a chronic non-payer.
Oh! I forgot judges just ignore criminals. Besides, it's much easier to catch an 82-year-old woman.They put her in jail for failure to appear to a summons by the court. Not for the trash bill. Judges don’t like to be ignored.
Yeah.....that's the attitude of the typical MA welfare skid who drives an Escalade and has 500 dollar sneakers and the reason why people like that exist. Just try to pay and its all OK........no personal responsibility here......i'm a chronic non-payer of everything civic. the woman in the collectors office says as long as you make an effort, the wolf will stay away from your door. i guess they're not so benevolent in her part of the country.
Yep.If the police are not willing to stand up and say "we're not arresting an elderly lady. Find another way"

I think it's insane that people are ok with being taxed yearly on property they own.Pay off your mortgage then don't pay your property tax... The .gov owns everything and will take everything you own when they want to. We are just $$$ in their eyes, aka tax paying serfs.
it was one of huge surprises for me when i came to this country. one of things i would always bring up to the 'land of the free' angle of the conversation.I think it's insane that people are ok with being taxed yearly on property they own.
It works because its done slowly. Old people remember how it was before and are outraged. Kids cant figure out what this old guys problem is. When the kids get old enough, property taxes are just a part of life and they think nothing of it.I think it's insane that people are ok with being taxed yearly on property they own.
If I have to pay a fee to own something I'm renting. Yet we as a society seem to be completely ok with it.
Then we have places like MA that extend this garbage to vehicles. Insanity.
There's plenty of ways to tax people without making them rent their own F'ing property.
I see that.It works because its done slowly. Old people remember how it was before and are outraged. Kids cant figure out what this old guys problem is. When the kids get old enough, property taxes are just a part of life and they think nothing of it.
Income taxes were the same way. Weren't they instituted to pay for WW1? People were outraged but when their kids got old enough to work, it was just how it was.

I see that.
But I'm not really ok with it. Most of us here arent ok with it. But the people we vote into office? They are fine with it. That's the real problem.
The (R) base has next to zero interest in getting Ron Paul (R)s into positions to shake stuff up.
I can't see how we win. We keep putting losers into the fight and they only care about their own skin.
I remember when that garbage came out. The (R) Bush lead party was a bunch of whack job statists. I hated that political era a lot.The ironic thing with supporting Republicans is that they authored the most damaging piece of legislation in my lifetime. More damaging to freedom than ANY gun laws ever enacted, IMO of course. An even more bit of irony is that the Patriot Act is now being used against Patriots. Remember way back when when the pols would insist it wouldn't be used against it's own citizens? Now BOTH partied wield it like a light saber.. That "Patriot" Act effectively disarmed and took way the right to vote for 100's of people that got convicted with a felony.
It's almost as if people are in denial that the absolute WORSE legislations in regards to freedom were enacted by Republicans. From Reagan to Trump, it's all the same... Wish I had some answers though
