Well at least he didn't drink beer down at the corner convenience store or blow his grass clippings into the street. Then he would be in some deep crapola.

No one want's their property devalued by blighted property. Not to mention rodent issues. Veteran or just regular jackass. It doesn't matter clean your property up and be a good neighbor.

Your situation and this man's are nothing alike.

Agreed. This would be a good situation for neighbors to come together and build the man a fence to hide is "stuff".

I admit to not finishing the article initially. It's funny our government has money for all kind of ******** but not to help those truly in need.

I have nothing but respect for the men and women who served in the military, but I just can't figure out why the media seems obsessed with defending them when the get in trouble breaking a zoning regulation or a neighborhood association rule. If I had all sorts of stuff in my yard the story would be "Jerk gets fined for eyesore". If I call Fox News to tell them about my neighborhood association busting my butt because I put up a giant flagpole in my front yard they'd ask if I was a Veteran. If I said no they'd hang up. I'm all for giving good Veterans benefits to Veterans, but I don't think holding them to a different standard with regard to zoning laws should be one of them.

Ramsey is a former Ku Klux Klansman who once was convicted of burning a cross on the front lawn of the former police chief in York. Ramsey served time in prison before the conviction was later overturned on appeal, and Ramsey has maintained he took the fall for two other guys.Ramsey said he is now reformed, that all of that is in the past. He flies American flags in his yard – yes, there are Confederate flags on his old 1993 truck with 300,000 miles on it, too – and a Mexican flag flies in the yard on a pole.
*My neighbors, Mexicans, they are the nicest people in the world and they asked me to fly it on my flagpole and I said I sure will,* Ramsey said. *All they do is work.*
