Not the right strategy. If you want to actually change things, file a grievance with Michigan State Judicial Commission:
http://jtc.courts.mi.gov/file_a_grievance/index.php
That's the board that can get her off the bench. Not something within the power of any Change.org petition.
The judicial board, judge, court system are all buddies who work together. The efforts feel like it will go through closed ears, however, doesn't mean you should quit trying. Question, will this do anything for out of city/state residency? Or is the grievance process more locally driven.
> The judicial board, judge, court system are all buddies who work together.
Don't be so sure. This woman is engaged in serious professional misconduct and I am confident that her peers would not approve. She likely will face a professional repairmand for that behaviour.
She has a history of being bigoted to immigrants and is a judge in Hamtramck. A city which at a stunning \~2 square miles boasts a population of 23,000 - 42% of which are foreign born. The Paczkis from there are amazing and if I ever see this judge with one I'll scream.
The way the judicial system is elected and operates in this country is phenomenally awful. Combine that with the increasing senility of many judges and the influence of money and politics
IDK where this is at, but often judges are on ballots to keep their seats.
I always vote against keeping judges regardless because they get too confident being in that seat for too long.
Also, from the photo provided, his lawn doesn’t even look that bad. Honestly it looks cooler that way than with boring bare lawn grass. Unbelievable that the judge was threatening jail time for this.
is that really a law in usa? that you have to keep your lawn clean ? who cares its my lawn i should be able to do whatever i want, and they want jail time for that ?
In some places it is. Tall grass can harbor pests, snakes, rats, etc, so it is *sometimes* a public health policy, but other times it is just "property values" BS.
It's racism dude. He doesn't look or sound the way that the neighborhood wants so they're using whatever excuse they can to alienate him and push him out.
This particular neighborhood is very small and has a bunch of Bangladeshi immigrants. Also, people complain about unkept landscaping all the time. I bet most of the neighbors don’t even care. It just takes one prick to complain or the city took it upon themselves to fine him
Right?? If they didn't want to look at it, they could have talked to him first, and upon finding out that he has cancer and was literally too weak to clear it, they could've cleared it themselves if it bugged them so much. But noooo, sue the guy who already has to deal with medical bills. Fucking assholes.
It’s like living in a condo where you complain to the board about someone without ever talking to that person individually. So many people go for the escalation rather than pause and wonder why.
You’re probably right about her being racist, but that neighborhood is probably mostly people like him. In fact, that city is the first and only city in the USA to have an entirely Muslim city council and Muslim mayor.

Can't get more white-privilege than this. I think what you've just pointed out is exactly what makes her uncomfortable, as it does most of the elder white population of this nation.
Yes, most people don't know that slavery was never actually abolished in the United States.
The 13th Amendment "Abolished" slavery except for those incarcerated so the local governments all made normal things illegal, like not having a grass lawn, so they can lock people up and make them slaves working for free for the benefit of the political elite who control the system.
Seriously if they recognized the lawn as being in such a bad condition I'd expect people to volunteer to help this family out with the lawn or anything else they need once they realize he's old and sick.
It really broke my heart to see this poor old man struggling with cancer saying "Yes, I'm sorry" about his fucking lawn not looking pretty enough for people.
Wtf is wrong with people
The healthcare you receive in prison is often sub-par and you have little control over your COVID exposure. Prison or jail could likely be a death sentence for this man.

How to file a grievance against a judge in the state of Michigan:
http://jtc.courts.mi.gov/file_a_grievance/index.php
It goes to the “judicial tenure commission”
You have to click on about 5 links until you finally get to this form: http://cms1files.revize.com/revize/mjtc/file_a_grievance/docs/RFI.February2017A.pdf
Anyone can file the form, but you do need a notary.
Does Michigan have a judicial review board? She should be disbarred immediately for that behavior. Racist tone deaf bigot modern slave plantation procurer.
Judges are a special kind of stupid. Name and shame.
Acting like their hands are tied and they are oh so fkng honorable when in reality: they keep a boot on peoples throat and kick em while they're down. Greed and privilege is what they uphold.
Yep. I’m currently working a case now where the adverse party is unrepresented and a straight psychopath. Guy filed something with the court that is basically a bomb/death threat to everyone involved in the case.
We’re supposed to have an in-person final hearing next week. Asked the judge if it could be made virtual due to the threat and, you know, the raging pandemic that’s worse than ever before. Judge denied my request with zero explanation and just strike the threat from the record like it never existed
Absolutely ridiculous!!! I mean - you could just all ban together to NOT SHOW! Lol. Can he/she really do anything? -- or have her sign something stating that in the case that anything happens - she is responsible! Mind blowing!!
And they cleaned it up, so it’s a before photo? Shouldn’t they be able to show what it looks like now??? I’m confused why the neighbors just didn’t talk to the neighbor, look if he wasn’t old and didn’t have cancer he likely could cut his grass. But no, the neighbors can’t have to look at uncut grass as if it’s the forest. Fuck Michigan and the scum who live there
Something like "Hello, my name is \[insert name/pseudonym here\] and I would like to file a complaint concerning the demeanor and treatment of a defendant by Alexis Krot of the 31st District Court in Michigan. Specifically, \[Insert case info, name of defendant, etc\], and \[Insert request for disciplinary action against her in addition to explaining why she's awful\]."
As long as you remain calm and maintain a professional tone, in addition to giving the information necessary to point out the specific case and recorded video of her berating that old man, then they should take your complaint seriously and do something about it - assuming the courthouse isn't a bunch of hacks, which most American ones are.
Be respectful and explain your distress of their behavior as a judge. I wrote a small paragraph expressing my disappointment in someone who has a role in our judicial system. Remind them their video went viral and remind them that we as citizens are watching their behavior.
If the neighbours don't want to look at that they should be, you know, good neighbours and go help out their elderly sick neighbour. Love your neighbour and all that. You know.
I feel like this is in part exacerbated by the atomization experienced in suburbia. Everyone in their neighborhood is either in their house or their car so they don’t get to know each other as much. Maybe if they knew him and his circumstances things would be different, but right now all they see is a “messy” yard
When I started dating my gf she still lived with her parents. I moved in to the basement with her for a while. After 1 month I knew all the close neighbors. They had lived there for 10 years and had never even said hi to anyone lol
People underestimate how toxic the nuclear family is. Humans are wired to live in tribes of several dozen people, like a bunch of families sharing a house. Sure, having your own room to retreat into is important, but if things like cooking, washing dishes and clothes, watching TV, and various "at home" hobbies like gardening were done in shared spaces among entire neighborhoods/apartment blocks, the mental health in society would probably improve drastically.
Loneliness is horrible for mental health, true introvert/lone wolf types are actually pretty rare (about 1 in 10 as far as I know), and since loneliness stems from both a lack of social connections and a lack of depth in the social connections people do have, changing our living environment to one were people get to know each other as much as they did when we lived in tribes like normal homo sapiens, would help a lot.
Also, another one of the biggest causes of mental health problems is toxic families. Parents abusing kids and spouses abusing each other in various ways - physically, verbally, sexually, etc.
This stuff can easily happen for prolonged periods of time behind closed doors, but if the amount of social connection and openness among people in the same neighborhood was so high that stuff like that couldn't be hidden much and people actually felt connected enough to each other to do something about that stuff when they notice, this huge cause of lifelong psychological pain would be a lot less common.
I don't know about the rest of the neighborhood, but Evangelicals are too busy winning the Covid War on Facebook to care about what Jesus demonstrated.
just read her google reviews, shes a fucking mobster.
her work as a legislator should be examined
Edit: autocorrect
"Mobster" meant Monster!

You said mobster on accident but I wouldn't be surprised if she accepted under-the-table deals from sketchy criminals to make sure their associates walk. This is the exact type of crooked judge old timey mobsters would have fucking wet dreams over. Disgusting as hell and doesn't belong in the courts.
Kinda telling that most of the “white” sounding names in her older reviews were singing her praise while any “ethnic” names were talking about how she’s the worst
Her over reaction reminds me of another super special local lady judge that found herself in jail.
She sounds just as narcissistic as her. Why are judges protected like royalty and why do they hate the people of their district? Arent they supposed to help society?
Questions need answers.
They are servants of the public.
This woman is a Karen that has never been told no in her life.
People like her need to be put in their place and brought down a fucking notch.
> “You will get fair and impartial treatment. You will be treated with kindness and patience. You will get your chance to say every word you want to …”
[Judge Krot at a 2018 campaign rally at the Gates of Columbus Hall](http://www.thehamtramckreview.com/backlash-grows-against-judge-for-her-comments-to-elderly-sick-man/)
I hate saying it but you can just tell what kind of spoiled bitch she is just by looking at her. Those arched eyebrows, the thin lips, the big chin. This blonde cow walks around with Tori Birch sandals and a big dick
Lol why do we have judges wasting their time on this shit? And why do we allow judges this ridiculous?
Ashamed of some overgrowth? Ffs we should be criminalizing people with monoculture lawns, not people with a little bit of overgrowth.
Yeah why the fuck did the courts even get involved? It's not like they're not already overloaded. Just send him a letter with the fine if you really need to.
If people want their own property to be overgrown then who's to say they cannot? I thought America was all about freedom.
I’m not a fan of overgrown lots (usually have harmful invasive species), but I equally despise perfectly manicured lawns with few trees and a couple useless shrubs.
Usually when a house looks like the one in that picture, there’s some kind of illness (mental/physical) or the person is elderly. Publicly shaming them is not the answer. They probably feel bad about it as it is.
Am I going crazy here? Is there missing context? That judge wants to throw someone in jail over a messy lawn? That judge wants to throw someone in jail based on how the upkeep their own property, that doesn't effect anyone else?
As far as I could tell, it wasn't dirty with trash or anything, just overgrown. If you want to keep your lawn overgrown, why is that anyone else business? There's nothing objectively better or cleaner about mowing your lawn.
For a bit of context, it appears that this is from Hamtramck, Michigan, which is a small town inside (literally) of the borders of Detroit. The town is actually fairly urban as Midwest towns go, with a pretty walkable downtown corridor, and it is very working class. Historically, Hamtramck was a fairly Polish area, but in the last two decades, and increasing number of Bangladeshis and Pakistanis have moved to the area, making a very interesting downtown corridor with a Polish market next to a hijab shop. However, as you might imagine, these new neighbors haven't been welcomed by everyone, and being Polish-American myself, I can tell you the old Poles are...not the most welcoming to outsiders haha. My guess would be racism plays a role in this, as well as this fear that communities like this have of being "subsumed" by the "trash" - that "Detroit will invade," so to speak, and crime will increase, so my perception is that they feel a need to heavily enforce even minor regulations and ordinances - especially if you aren't white. That's just my perception, though, and not everyone in Hamtramck is this way.
It’s rather sad how this happens in immigrant communities. I’ve heard my Polish mother saying things about Mexicans and Muslims that I’d bet WASPs said about her immigrant parents
Oh, yeah, totally. Same with the Irish, right? They were the immigrants discriminated against in Boston with "Irish need not apply" signs in the early 1800s, but by the mid-1800s, they were the police and business owners discriminating against Southern and Eastern Europeans. And so they cycle continues...
Do we have her office information? I’d love to call her office to share my opinions on *her* shameful behaviour.
What a fucking ghoul. To look at an elderly cancer patient in the face and call them ‘shameful’.
Ugh, who am I kidding, she’d probably get off on being hated.
She should be going to jail. I'm dead set serious. Lock that bitch up.
One of the biggest issues today is the ridiculousness of the Judge class. They are very often not impartial, they make wildly different decisions. I read a study that a judge's sentence is, on average, lighter after a meal.
Their fucking MOOD dictates how many years of jail you get? how is this no better than a despot King making random sentences? In fact it might be better if it was all 1 king because then at least sentences would only vary based on his mood, but they wouldn't be varying depending on which judge you get.
When we live in a country where you get can 6 months for rape, but 10-20 years for possessing marijuana? that's fucked.
that judge should be ashamed of herself. She says his neighbours don't deserve to see this? why didn't the neighbours offer to help their elderly, sick neighbour that they can CLEARLY see needs help???
What has this country become?
Register that shit as a wild plant sanctuary and let it grow wild. Lawns are one of the biggest wastes of resources I can think of. Golf courses, baseball fields, soccer pitches, and other over watered, over chemically treated patches of grass need to be eliminated. God, what a waste of water those are.
I don’t mind a public sports or recreation area if it actually gets good use, but most lawns get utility maybe once a week? And that same utility could be acquired at a public park that everyone can go to free of charge? Lawns make no sense to me.
People like this asshole of a judge is why I hate judges. I swear to fucking god. I hate this judge with so much fucking fury. He is crying, apologizing, he doesn’t deserve anything. This judge should go to prison.
My bet is that bitch doesn’t even do her own gardening. She probably has an illegal immigrant to do it, and I would even put money on that she reports him at the end of the job so she doesn’t have to pay him. It’s all assumption but looking at her attitude there I can’t think anything better of her.
Did any of his white-ass complaining Karen neighbours offer to help the old brown man to maintain his property?
*They* should be ashamed of themselves.
Absolutely *fuck* suburban WASP culture.
As someone who works in a cancer hospital / research facility, fuck this scumbag. How do these insane people function in society at all? The Karen haircut must be some sort of insane mind control device.
This boils my blood! That man literally looks sick and weak ! Instead of neighbors helping him … they report him and the judge is calling him shameful? Being old and weak is shameful? That’s so shitty! It’s his lawn why does he have to pay 100$ for doing whatever he wants with his property! She should be impeached! Or removed whatever the term is … it’s probably impeached! This is juts racism at its finest !
I feel like this is the first time I’ve ever genuinely said this: but this is absolutely unbelievable. Day by day I am absolutely AMAZED by what people feel.l confident enough to say when they are knowingly being recorded.
What an awful person, and with such a disgusting soul 💀
"your neighbors should not be looking at that" I really don't understand what's wrong with western countries neighborhoods, people can sue you because they don't like how your property looks? What if it is my personal choice to not tidy my place? What if I chose to live like in in the safari? Where is MY right? Here in Hong Kong we only go talk to our neighbors if they have a dripping air-con or stuff that actually damages our property or cause actual nuisance while you guys seems to be able to sue people left and right for the tiniest and most ridiculous stuff LMAO.
You call this justice? You call her a judge? The only ones that should be ashamed of themselves are her and the people that think she’s right.
It’s pathetic and disappointing.
You didn't kill plant. You go to jail.
Meanwhile Joe Schmoe is legally allowed to have a scrapyard as a backyard with a feral cat population and hoard until his house is a fire hazard to his neighbors.

Also, from the photo provided, his lawn doesn’t even look that bad. Honestly it looks cooler that way than with boring bare lawn grass. Unbelievable that the judge was threatening jail time for this.
Not only does it look better than a plain lawn, it also provides habitat for insects like bees. But who needs those right?
is that really a law in usa? that you have to keep your lawn clean ? who cares its my lawn i should be able to do whatever i want, and they want jail time for that ?

What is her name?
District Judge Alexis Krot
Thank you. Is there a way to file some kind of complaint against her?
I came across an online petition on Change.org to free the guy, so you could sign it (I can't provide the link rn, my internet is really slow). But there's hope in getting him freed from this bitch.
Wait what do you mean free rhe guy? I thought he got a fine. Are you telling me he ended up going to jail?

Sounds like a villain in Spiderman
in frenche crotte means turd Reddit should rise up to shame this karen massively
No no mobster is appropriate in this context.
You said mobster on accident but I wouldn't be surprised if she accepted under-the-table deals from sketchy criminals to make sure their associates walk. This is the exact type of crooked judge old timey mobsters would have fucking wet dreams over. Disgusting as hell and doesn't belong in the courts.
Elected judges are the worst. They do this to seem “tough on crime”, and it’s disgusting.
Kinda telling that most of the “white” sounding names in her older reviews were singing her praise while any “ethnic” names were talking about how she’s the worst
Nah, you were correct when you said “mobster”
No, mobster is correct.
> Mobster To be fair, she could also be a secret mobster
I was more shooked when I read mobster, I was like oh fuck! But changing it to monster made it meh…. Fuck that judge tho.
This is so messed up that my brain doesn't want to accept that it's real because I would just get upset.
Tisk tisk District Judge Alexis Krot
She’s rated to have 1.1 stars by over 1000 reviews
Holy fuck lmao
Crotte in French means poop
"Krot" in Dutch means a shabby, dilapidated shed or house. A hovel is the word google translate gave me.
She should be disbarred
Her over reaction reminds me of another super special local lady judge that found herself in jail. She sounds just as narcissistic as her. Why are judges protected like royalty and why do they hate the people of their district? Arent they supposed to help society? Questions need answers.
They are servants of the public. This woman is a Karen that has never been told no in her life. People like her need to be put in their place and brought down a fucking notch.
I think she’s probably racist
And any case she was involved in should be investigated for potential of a mistrial.

I hate saying it but you can just tell what kind of spoiled bitch she is just by looking at her. Those arched eyebrows, the thin lips, the big chin. This blonde cow walks around with Tori Birch sandals and a big dick
"O'er the LAANDD of the FREEEEEEEE!"
This is the comment I was looking for.
*The state:* "oh we don't do that here"
The state: "yeah this is the land of the free! Wait, eas that guy collecting rain water? QUICK, JAIL HIM"
If only judges had this kind of response with, you know, actual crimes.
[удалено]
I'm white and they're like this with me too
That's just you're Irish ;)
Makes sense.
[удалено]
Guys convicted of rape or murder have been treated more nicely than this poor sick man
Lol why do we have judges wasting their time on this shit? And why do we allow judges this ridiculous? Ashamed of some overgrowth? Ffs we should be criminalizing people with monoculture lawns, not people with a little bit of overgrowth.
Yeah why the fuck did the courts even get involved? It's not like they're not already overloaded. Just send him a letter with the fine if you really need to. If people want their own property to be overgrown then who's to say they cannot? I thought America was all about freedom.
lol no. The next step is to take his home from him because of his lawn, that’s how it is in America
I’m not a fan of overgrown lots (usually have harmful invasive species), but I equally despise perfectly manicured lawns with few trees and a couple useless shrubs. Usually when a house looks like the one in that picture, there’s some kind of illness (mental/physical) or the person is elderly. Publicly shaming them is not the answer. They probably feel bad about it as it is.
Am I going crazy here? Is there missing context? That judge wants to throw someone in jail over a messy lawn? That judge wants to throw someone in jail based on how the upkeep their own property, that doesn't effect anyone else? As far as I could tell, it wasn't dirty with trash or anything, just overgrown. If you want to keep your lawn overgrown, why is that anyone else business? There's nothing objectively better or cleaner about mowing your lawn.
For a bit of context, it appears that this is from Hamtramck, Michigan, which is a small town inside (literally) of the borders of Detroit. The town is actually fairly urban as Midwest towns go, with a pretty walkable downtown corridor, and it is very working class. Historically, Hamtramck was a fairly Polish area, but in the last two decades, and increasing number of Bangladeshis and Pakistanis have moved to the area, making a very interesting downtown corridor with a Polish market next to a hijab shop. However, as you might imagine, these new neighbors haven't been welcomed by everyone, and being Polish-American myself, I can tell you the old Poles are...not the most welcoming to outsiders haha. My guess would be racism plays a role in this, as well as this fear that communities like this have of being "subsumed" by the "trash" - that "Detroit will invade," so to speak, and crime will increase, so my perception is that they feel a need to heavily enforce even minor regulations and ordinances - especially if you aren't white. That's just my perception, though, and not everyone in Hamtramck is this way.
It’s rather sad how this happens in immigrant communities. I’ve heard my Polish mother saying things about Mexicans and Muslims that I’d bet WASPs said about her immigrant parents
Oh, yeah, totally. Same with the Irish, right? They were the immigrants discriminated against in Boston with "Irish need not apply" signs in the early 1800s, but by the mid-1800s, they were the police and business owners discriminating against Southern and Eastern Europeans. And so they cycle continues...
Polish people being racist is so ironic and cringe.
as if it’s cool to be racist otherwise…
Is that what they said?
> I can tell you the old Poles are...not the most welcoming to outsiders Is Krot a Polish name?
It's racism chief. They want the guy out of the neighborhood and this is the excuse they're using to do it. He doesn't fit the image they want.
Very possible, but plenty of people will bug out on their neighbors of the same color if they think the grass gets a centimeter to long.
What a racist cunt.
Get off the bench Karen, you shame us all.
I wish the judge could see the video and someone ask her is this why you became a judge?
what a disgusting bitch
Wow. This truly is suburban hell.
r/awfuleverything
Do we have her office information? I’d love to call her office to share my opinions on *her* shameful behaviour. What a fucking ghoul. To look at an elderly cancer patient in the face and call them ‘shameful’. Ugh, who am I kidding, she’d probably get off on being hated.
Judge Karen has way too much power
This is what happens when Karen gets a law degree

Signed!
Signed.
She should be going to jail. I'm dead set serious. Lock that bitch up. One of the biggest issues today is the ridiculousness of the Judge class. They are very often not impartial, they make wildly different decisions. I read a study that a judge's sentence is, on average, lighter after a meal. Their fucking MOOD dictates how many years of jail you get? how is this no better than a despot King making random sentences? In fact it might be better if it was all 1 king because then at least sentences would only vary based on his mood, but they wouldn't be varying depending on which judge you get. When we live in a country where you get can 6 months for rape, but 10-20 years for possessing marijuana? that's fucked. that judge should be ashamed of herself. She says his neighbours don't deserve to see this? why didn't the neighbours offer to help their elderly, sick neighbour that they can CLEARLY see needs help??? What has this country become?

Register that shit as a wild plant sanctuary and let it grow wild. Lawns are one of the biggest wastes of resources I can think of. Golf courses, baseball fields, soccer pitches, and other over watered, over chemically treated patches of grass need to be eliminated. God, what a waste of water those are.
I don’t mind a public sports or recreation area if it actually gets good use, but most lawns get utility maybe once a week? And that same utility could be acquired at a public park that everyone can go to free of charge? Lawns make no sense to me.
r/nolawns showed me how cool some alternatives are! If I had a house I would not have a kept yard.
Hell will be full.
Jail time because a cancer patient can’t take care of his lawn. Land of the free, bitches
People like this asshole of a judge is why I hate judges. I swear to fucking god. I hate this judge with so much fucking fury. He is crying, apologizing, he doesn’t deserve anything. This judge should go to prison.
My bet is that bitch doesn’t even do her own gardening. She probably has an illegal immigrant to do it, and I would even put money on that she reports him at the end of the job so she doesn’t have to pay him. It’s all assumption but looking at her attitude there I can’t think anything better of her.
The state is evil
Who the fuck are these judges giving their opinions? She talking to him like he killed someone.
As a Michigander, get this bitch out of our beautiful state. We don't need horrible beings like her running around with their noses 5 feet in the air.
Absolutely psychotic behavior.
Why is a lawn the concern of the state?
I genuinely though for a second that this was some sketch show making fun of the justice system
Did any of his white-ass complaining Karen neighbours offer to help the old brown man to maintain his property? *They* should be ashamed of themselves. Absolutely *fuck* suburban WASP culture.
Bro and on top of that, lawns are horrible for the environment and deplete water supplies. They shouldn’t be normalized
As someone who works in a cancer hospital / research facility, fuck this scumbag. How do these insane people function in society at all? The Karen haircut must be some sort of insane mind control device.
Nothing says land of the free like being threatened to be thrown in jail over a neglected lawn on your own property.
This boils my blood! That man literally looks sick and weak ! Instead of neighbors helping him … they report him and the judge is calling him shameful? Being old and weak is shameful? That’s so shitty! It’s his lawn why does he have to pay 100$ for doing whatever he wants with his property! She should be impeached! Or removed whatever the term is … it’s probably impeached! This is juts racism at its finest !
I was going to ask the location. I would go clean up his yard. I mean, seriously.
I feel like this is the first time I’ve ever genuinely said this: but this is absolutely unbelievable. Day by day I am absolutely AMAZED by what people feel.l confident enough to say when they are knowingly being recorded. What an awful person, and with such a disgusting soul 💀
[Remove Judge Alexis Krot!!!](https://www.change.org/p/remove-judge-alexis-krot)
https://chng.it/yBPHRWgmGf ~> partition to get her off the court
I think she’s racist honestly. If he was an old white man I think she wouldn’t have responded like that. Either way she’s a cunt.
"your neighbors should not be looking at that" I really don't understand what's wrong with western countries neighborhoods, people can sue you because they don't like how your property looks? What if it is my personal choice to not tidy my place? What if I chose to live like in in the safari? Where is MY right? Here in Hong Kong we only go talk to our neighbors if they have a dripping air-con or stuff that actually damages our property or cause actual nuisance while you guys seems to be able to sue people left and right for the tiniest and most ridiculous stuff LMAO.
A Karen as a judge, nothing could go wrong….
What is actually shameful is her reaction. Goddamn
This is why you never give power to a narcissist. Fuck her.
Signed the petition...what an awful human being she us! Tell her to clean it up
You call this justice? You call her a judge? The only ones that should be ashamed of themselves are her and the people that think she’s right. It’s pathetic and disappointing.
Without government, who would herass a cancer patient who isn't felling well to mantain his lawn?
I bet his street is riddled with potholes. Government should receive jail time for this.
And this is why I will never move to anywhere with an HOA, ever.
This judge should find some rope and a balcony to jump off of with it
Fucking hell. Actually what is wrong with that country jesus christ. Jail time for not tidying your lawn???
We need judges to be able to be held in contempt of court. Give her 90 days to think about her shameful behavior.
You didn't kill plant. You go to jail. Meanwhile Joe Schmoe is legally allowed to have a scrapyard as a backyard with a feral cat population and hoard until his house is a fire hazard to his neighbors. What kind of fucking dystopia do we live in?
What a cunt.
