I saw a story about an elderly man who had cancer. His son was looking after his yard for him, as he couldn’t do it but his son had to go away for a month or two. Anyway, he got sent to court because his garden was unruly since his son was away. The judge said, and I quote “you should be ashamed of yourself. If i could give you prison time for this, I would.” Tells you everything you need to know about America’s “justice” system.
Yikes. I knew it was bad, but goddamn.
That’s the point of the post. It’s so bad you can’t even believe it.

How is “unruly garden” anything that needs to concern a judge in the first place?
