"I'm having a bad day,"

Well, now you're having an even worse day, you stupid biatch.

So I jumped the fence and yelled to the house, "Hey! What gives you the right?"

a sign on Jackson's front door read:

"PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB. This means YOU. I am BUSY. The next salesman, Jehovah's Witness, Port Richey especially, any ADT representative, will be greeted with a loaded shotgun. Ring my door bell or knock on my door at your own risk. If I blast you, you have nobody to blame but yourself."

The deputy knocked. "Approximately 40 minutes later (Jackson) came to the door. I asked why she didn't answer the door and she said, 'I don't have to. You don't have a warrant.' I placed (Jackson) in handcuffs," the report states.


Wow. I'm glad I read this article. WTF kind of police state are we coming to when someone can be arrested for not answering their door.

Uhm, Mr. Reporter guy? You left out some parts of the story. There's no way in hell that a cop sat there for 40 minutes with his thumb up his ass, waiting for the chick to come to the door. What happened in between there?

They forgot to mention the Tea Party signs in the front yard.

"If the county's gonna pay me by the hour to sit on this porch on my ass, well, hell, that's a pretty easy job. Sign me up."

To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep Mother Nature in
If God was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, you're some kind of sinner!

Just for the heck of it, I'm going to take Debra Jackson's side in this one. She didn't shoot anyone. She just reminded them that homeowners get a little grumpy about things that disturb "their space." That of course includes frequent dog poo.

So you go, girl!

Yeah, who knew death threats against social groups you dislike could get you in trouble? Unfair, I says!

It's called "waiting". It's what you do in a standoff.

and the sign said you gotta have a membership card to get inside....
 
2011-12-16 03:44:35 AM
While I can sympathize with not wanting to be bothered by assholes, it does seem like she overdid it. A simple 'Trespassers will be Prosecuted' or 'No Soliciting' would probably have done the trick.

Also, if the pet they were after had been a cat that had been sh*tting in the neighbor's yard, Farkers would be rallying to raise the gun owner's bail money.

Also (again), what is an "ADT representative," and why should we shoot at them?

im not a lawyer but defense of property has to have a valid threat from the person invading your space.... or at least you have to prove that you thought there was a valid threat.


it would be hard to defend shooting a kid chasing after a dog. thats what pepper spray is for! added bonus is itll work on lazy college students who are just sitting around not studying for finals!
 
2011-12-16 03:57:43 AM
Is Brandishing a crime in FL? prolly what she got nabbed for, that and pointing the shotgun at two kids. If she pointed a gun at them, she had intent to kill.

ADT is a home alarm company. They often solicit door-to-door to drum up sales for their home security systems, and in some neighborhoods are very persistent and annoying.

No "Get off of my lawn" comment?

As for the Jehovah's Witnesses I just tell them to "F*ck off, I'm not superstitious."

A bit of an over-reaction.

I would be more inclined to grab a shovel and, if the dog had crapped in my yard with the owner of the dog present and not cleaning it up, would likely have scooped it up with the shovel and flung it either at him or in his yard.

This being Florida, such action would have probably gotten me arrested for assault, all the same.

/so farking glad I moved from that state nearly 40 years ago
//"nice place to visit..." and all that

You just reminded me of something that went down in Florida about 25-some years ago. The legislature had passed a law regarding concealed vs. open carry of weapons, and the way it was worded left a huge loophole which allowed you to carry pretty much any weapon you liked wherever you wanted to go, as long as the weapon wasn't concealed. It was soon dubbed "The Wild West Law", because until the loophole was closed, people were walking around with pistols on gunbelts, and rifles and assault weapons slung over their shoulders and so forth. Stores and businesses started putting "no firearms allowed" notices on their doors to keep weapons out. For awhile there, it was insane.

I don't remember anything like that, and I knew a bunch of gun nuts. Never saw anyone walking around with assault rifles outside of a range. Maybe it was only "insane" where you live/d.

As to the article, ahhh Pasco, you wascaly wabbit of a county. Special blend of redneck and tard.

The law didn't last long as written, but for awhile, folks in Orlando made the most of it. Ah, Pasco county, though...I seem to recall that it was the equivalent of the "Florida" tag in Florida.

So if people just left the damn crazy woman alone everything would have been fine. If the dog owners had a proper way of controlling their animal for example...

CSB:
Buddy from work had the guitarist from 5 Man Electrical Band paint one of his rooms (can't remember all of the details but I guess he has a painting company and was running a guy short so he came in and did it). Well that was until buddy realized who he was and they took a couple hour break and jammed.

I'd like to take a moment to praise that good Samaritan who took charge of the situation, put themselves and their vehicle in the crossfire, and saw it through to a non violent conclusion.

/I'm a little impressed she restrained herself from shooting the officer on her porch.

The cop had probable cause to arrest her, for aggravated assault. He didn't need a warrant and she wasn't arrested for not answering her door. Seemed pretty obvious to me.

I haven't read the rest of the comments, and I am sure this is a troll, but she was most likely arrested for pointing A farkING SHOTGUN AT SOME KIDS.

I usually go with, "do I look like I could figure out how to locate a church if I felt the need, don't you guys have day jobs?"
 
2011-12-16 06:11:01 AM
LOL, ok that takes it a bit farther than the sign on my door that says if you are from a special interest group, a political party or representing a politician, a bible beater or selling something and you ring my doorbell, I'll have you arrested from trespassing.

Could just as easily be Hendry County, or rural Collier.
