Fuck a duck. I live in Oklahoma and haven't mow my front yard in a month. To goddamn hot to be outside doing manual labor. No ones said shit. Plus I try avoid mowing altogether. We began see fireflies at night, and rather have wild flowers then a well maintained lawn. ACAB. Killed a man over not .mowing his grass. What bullshit. And you know it was some nosey neighbor probably sames ones quoted that called code enforcement on him.

To be fair to the pigs, they killed a man for pulling a gun on the nosey neighbor patrol. They wouldn't have bothered to shoot him over the grass... Unless they felt like it at the time.
