standoff with Hoarder...

[Steal]

something about the way they keep pushing the hoarder word is disturbing . I mean, it really does not seem necessary nor like it fits. So....a hoarder with first,middle and last name.......(yeah , long link...forgot how to use the []use[] crap

His home was to be inspected for "blight"?


blight (n.) ... anything which withers hopes or prospects or checks prosperity ...

Do they check for poltergeists too?

hoarders is a popular show about mental patients who cant throw anything away. i'm sure the use of Hoarder is meant to cash in on the popular catch term for Americans to continue thier perverse voyourism and not in reference to people like us holding metals and preps

one would think, though I would never let my property go like that and have seen houses with crap piled up waste high through out, I do have a few years worth of food, ammo etc. Would hate to be classified as the demonized 'hoarder'

The man wasn't a hoarder ......he was nasty pack rat

[JDRock]

jewish propaganda to associate hoarding with a mental disorder needing government intervention....SO all they have to do is associate preppers with hoarders and the sheep are all on board.

Sorry. As a true Libertarian, I don't think it's anyone's business what anyone has in their own home.

[hoarder]

The man wasn't a hoarder ......he was nasty pack ratThey're trying to obscure the distinction between the two.

Funny thing is, the guy would have fit right in, in Georgia.

Yes I see people making fun of people that stockpile things all the time.

Yesterday two of the women at work at work were making fun of the boss for hoarding a big box of tape. Every kind of tape you'd ever need. I didn't see what the big deal was. Tape is real handy, who cares if you might not need that certain kind of tape for 5 years. When you do need it you'd be glad as hell you saved it. Anyways by the end of the conversation they both admitted to hoarding some strange stuff, and that its a good thing.;D

See if you mowed your front lawn, nobody would know the difference.

That's next, SWAT teams sent for failure to prune.

Hot little MG vehicle, btw.

would the "hoarder" get more respect if he hoarded 50 caliber rounds and maybe some Fentanyl Flechettes ?

no, then they would call it a "compound" and send in the heavies.

That's nothing. We got people with private junkyards and their junkyards have junkyards. Mow the lawn? Phhhhsh. Just a matter of ordinance and in or out of city. People collect shit, it's their damn property. What concern is it of yours?
