Once again, the U.S. government is attempting to police the world when it should be policing its own law enforcement agencies. We’ve got a warship cruising the Black Sea, fighter jets patrolling the Baltic skies, and a guided-missile destroyer searching the South China Sea for the downed Malaysia Airlines flight. All the while, back home in the U.S., our constitutional rights are going to hell in a hand basket, with homeowners being threatened with eviction for attempting to live off the grid, old women jailed for feeding crows, and citizens armed with little more than a cell phone arrested for daring to record police activities.
Robin Speronis now finds herself threatened with eviction from her own Florida home for daring to live off the grid, independent of city utilities such as water and electricity. City officials insist the Cape Coral resident’s chosen way of life violates international property maintenance code and city ordinances. Mary Musselman, also a Florida resident, is being held in jail without bond for “feeding wild animals.” The 81-year-old Musselman, on probation after being charged with feeding bears near her home, was arrested after officers discovered her leaving bread out for crows. Meanwhile, Brandy Berning of Florida was forced to spend a night in jail after recording her conversation with an officer who pulled her over for a routine traffic stop.

I agree with the Mary Musselman case. There's a house on Pemberton that feeds deer, not thinking that they FREAK OUT as soon as a car passes Upper Ferry, then they dart out making you !. slam on brakes or B. Hit them/get hit by them. Can't fix stupid.
There are distinct differences between living off the grid and endangering others by feeding deer/bear.
The grid offers control to the government over its subjects - which we should be able to avoid...constitutionally...
Feeding wild animals poses a danger to others that should be controlled....

This is the "Democrat" Mayor of Cape Coral that supports green energy and lifestyles... UNTIL you decide to do it in her city, then she sends code enforcement to condemn your home and evict you based on some B.S. international law!
Let her know what you think.
12:10 It sounds like a good spot for a deer stand!
Wild animals can pose a danger to cars whether she feeds them or not.
