  • No, Cenk, America does mean anything and it hasn't meant anything for a long time now. What a joke of a country.... its national identity was constructed around freedom and justice; and it's one of the most injust countries in the world. Why does it even exist than? I guess the answer is, it's a front for greedy bastards to make billions of shady banking practices and of construed wars to prop up a construed military industry.

  • She's gorgeous

  • Can you imagine the conversation that guy will have in prison....

    "so what are you in for"? first guy says murder, the other aggrevated robbery, another grand theft and that poor guy looks sadly into his lap and whispers BUTT STATUES!!!

  • its just a classic case of an inconsiderate overbearing stupid tasteless douchebag who has to ruin it for the rest of us supposidly in the name of the first amendment. i think theres a bigger principle here than being able to to put statues of giant asses and commodes on your roof and thats the principle of keeping your nasty business to yourself. leave me OUT of the process dude, because i want nothing to do with your crappy Chachkes every time i come home.

  • Comment removed

  • They forgot to mention that he violated parole for armed robbery and assault. Just a little insignificant detail... minutia really.

  • @Gravija1980 if you know more details about this story then you probably know if he had some the shit ana said on his front lawn as well. i bet it wasnt just his roof and his back yard. LOL

  • ana you are wrong about europe. at least here in germany we have very very strong regulations on how your house may look like. and that's not about colors only, it's also about how many floors your house may have, if you make a window into your roof and so on. it's a huge burocratic way you have to go if you want to build something unconventional. of course that's a german thing, this isn't the same in other european countries, but you can't generalize it in the way you did.

  • TYT...you failed to realize even if house is paid off...you still have laws ...you still pay property taxes....and rules to follow....city rules therefore abide by them

  • @truesacha

    are you fucking kidding me ? they took 4 years of his life for having shit on his porch & backyard ? & yes im sure they realized there's rules but its the rules that are fucking retarded, it makes America as a country look bad that they put one of their own citizens in prison because of their stupid laws

  • the backyard....front yard is part of the neighbourhood....okay how about if they allow this...and tomm some guy puts ....inflatable rubber dolls, dildos statutes.....come on get a sense!! jail him.....

  • That's not even the tip of the ice berg. I work at a realtor's office and I help the property manager, we have to waste up to half a day everyday just to contact all the HOA's because our tenants TRASH CAN is on the wrong side of your house, and you get fines. And every time a home owner wants to redo even their BACK YARD, we have to submit to HOA for approval. Its fucking ridiculous. You even have to submit a form to put up a satellite dish.

  • In my neighborhood if you have a car in your driveway that doesn't run neighbors will call the cops on you. If someone's dog gets loose and gets in their yard they won't say damn thing to the owner, but they call the cops. What you have on your property is your own damn business, if it's not illegal. Toilets must be illegal in their state , I guess. Oh so it makes your property value go down ? That's the real estate insurance companies, and the market deciding that, NOT YOUR NEIGHBOR ! Fuck'em!

  • I got a $350 ticket from the City for putting my trash out 1 day early... I also got a $500 ticket from the City for having an unregistered car in my driveway. Then the City told me I had to pay to have the car removed from MY HOUSE or pay another $500 and go to jail for 30 days. Welcome to America! Land of the Free? Yeah fuckin' right. Home of the brave? Not anymore...

  • Oh. And if that's the "Biggest Injustice Ever" to you guys.

    You need to watch the news more. ...not Fox News.

  • @DaddyOD13 You obviously didn't listen to the story.... 4 Years in PRISON for putting something in YOUR OWN YARD. You don't see a problem with that?

  • @TwiztedAnimator I didn't say it wasn't unjust.

    Just not the "Biggest injustice ever".

    I heard of a man who had his house taken away from him by the

    Home owners association for violating some rule of theirs.

    But thats still not the biggest injustice ever.

    How about being condemned to death for a crime you didn't commit?

  • Freedom in America means capitalist are free to make a profit.

    Not that you have the right to "do your own thing".

    The 60s & 70s showed us that. The 80s showed us once more,

    we were to be consumers. Of Coke, Pepsi, Cars, Coke.

    People in Afghanistan have more freedom than the US.

    Well, not now. Since the US is forcing them to be like us.

  • I live in a developement outside of Cleveland, Ohio. I was threatened with a fine for having a basketball hoop in my driveway, but ultimately decided to take it down because it wasn't worth the fine. A few months later i was fined for not changing the bulb in a light post in my front yard garden. My home is owned NOT rented. I could live in Russia and have more rights.

  • we're slowly loosing all of our rights. And all of the sacred liberties that thid country once stood for. Is government really serving its purpose nowadays?

  • Lol every building is a different colour in Europe,,, these guys aint been to Aberdeen in Scotland... 'the granite city' ,,, pure grey.

    Love TYT though, great stuffs.

  • Get their real video now busizz4me.info

  • I have the unalienable right to have Ass statues. 

  • The law is the law. It doesn't matter what law you break if you do the crime then you must do the time! That is what makes America the safest country. That is the price of justice so deal with it or move to Iraq where you can get away with murder and everything you like!~

  • @brassmonkeyjew America is far not the safest country. Why do you believe this illusion? lol

  • @brassmonkeyjew injustice is injustice.Dude how can you stick up for this? If the founding fathers said 'the law is the law' there would be no America.We have to challenge laws to sift out the unjust and raise the quality of life for people, not be content with ridiculous laws solely because they are laws.Nothing would ever get done in history if people thought like you...we would still be whipped by kings and nobles and we'd still live like shit under crazy monarchies because the law is the law

  • @cjaygrove

    If you don't agree with the laws of your country then don't follow them. But be prepared to face the consequences for breaking your civil obligations. As a member of a society you must follow the law of the land in order for the system to function and for everyone to flourish. So when in Rome do like the Romans or do us -and yourself- a favor by getting LOST. Perhaps you'd be happier in a "less governed" country like Iran or Iraq.

  • @brassmonkeyjew oookay I guess the point I was trying to make didn't really get through to you. Ah oh well...by the way I don't think you really believe what you posted, its just far to ignorant to say that rules, no matter how unjust, are supposed to be followed with complete obedience or else people who don't agree should move to Iraq, which also doesn't make sense because there are more unjust laws there than in the good ole USA. You like sayings...Rules are meant to be broken.

  • So when the other inmates ask this dude what he's in jail for...do you think he told them 'butt statues?"

    Don't drop the soap after that.

  • And they can jail you for not managing your lawn. So happy I'm living in Finland. Ah, the country of freedom, tis be.

  • There is a clause somewhere that say that you cannot go around naked in your own property if people can see you. It is something to do with been indecent. So putting penis everywhere is like against the law. Personally, I think it is BS law but American are always acting so childish over anything related to sex.

    That guy must have really pissed the judge to go for 4 years in jail. If that's not the reason, I can't understand the judge.

  • /facepalm America is failing hard.

  • seeing all these vids, man i'm happy i don't live in america

  • Ok, with so many people who actually need to go to jail for raping children and murdering other people, why do we need to jail people who put toilets and butts in their back yard.

  • where did the guys microphone go?

  • @keltoid777 Cenk uses a clip-on mic, so he doesn't need a standing mic like Ana uses

    Cenk's awesome like that

  • wait wait wait.......15 years for a bj? u shitting me? lol thats the biggest thing I got out of this video.....

  • "An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Unless I'm mistaken, those words were spoken by Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

  • a friend once told me that if there isn't a long enduring war then we will see just how much freedom we are losing to red tape and those that run things.

  • The extended conversation was missing a big part. Those communities with "standards" make new homebuyers aware of this and you have to agree to the contract that has those standards in it. (green lawn, color, addons etc) The people that get fines and jail for this stuff are because of breach of contract. (unclear if butt statue guy was in one of those) That having been said, a TON of suburbs all have this crap now, not as much choice as people would like. Live DT and polka dot your walls.

  • listen folks, this isnt america anymore. no one but the rich has any rights. this is now some other thrid world country

  • A fine? Okay

    4 years in prison? Fuck no.

  • Lmfao the daughter example. That was epic <3 I like how Cenk always has something to say like that. I lol'd really hard.

  • Damn, he must have had a crappy lawyer and a crappy jury

  • Okay, so first, who wants this idiot for a neighbor anyhow? Do you think that his "violating parole" had ANYTHING to do with the additional 3 years?? His freedom doesn't go past his imposition on my freedom. Shouldn't I have a right to expect to not have to look at a bunch of asses??? I generally agree with your rantings, but be careful, you don't appear to have researched this information... and I have no idea what the point was. A civil society does, require civility and common sense.

  • @rachelbarton123 It's HIS backyard, wtf r u doing in there anyway??

    It's NOT YOUR backyard, let me repeat it's HIS backyard!

    To quote the guy: Fuck You !

  • "It's his private property. He can do what he wants".

    Think about it Ana,

    how utterly stupid that remark is.

  • @bobbytiger No more stupid as you are.

  • @cr4yv3n

    Now that's the kind of thought provoking resonse

    I expect from a liberal foreigner.

    You guys never let me down.

  • @bobbytiger Glad to be of service :)

  • @bobbytiger Might I point out that your statement definitely was not thought provoking.

  • @bobbytiger of course they dont mean illegal shit

  • @jago1996

    Of course.

  • Wow 4 years. That is crazy. But people you have to remember just because you have freedom try to have some sense >.>

  • thank you florida. God bless you florida. I love Florida.

  • @truthtone58 i live in florida and crazy shit happens all the time.

  • They also have laws against yellow lawns

  • At worst the man should have been required to screen the giant prosthetic bums or remove those on the street if they were ever there. I don't agree he has the right to erect bums by virtue of private property per se, but by virtue of a right to liberty; there's a difference.

  • Owned.

    I personally belief that he should go to jail for being a mron.

  • Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said

    (The most merciful shows mercy to those who are compassionate to others)

  • It's time for a political revolution. I have had enough of the incompetence, corruption and evil in the ruling elite.

  • Right now in America a man's daughter is gettng arrested for being ugly.

  • @KokomiTan WHAT?

  • @KokomiTan or being kicked out of walmart.

  • I don't care if someone is waving the nazi flag from their front porch. Doesn't effect how I live my life. What's the big flaming deal about what this guy does?

  • i can paint my house any damn way i want, so fuck you.

  • The cops had to protect the neighbours from the dangerous, killer butts.

  • Cops are supposed to protect the people but who is going to protect the people from the cops??????

  • @MrRickster1967 Indeed.

    'Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?' as Juvenal said.

  • Does't America mean anything anymore? FUCK NO I was falsly accused of aggravated assault and was denied my 6th amendment to the constitution and was being detained while the ex girlfriend developed witnesses to go along with her story & in the papers and statements it proves she was lying the bias cops and the DA knew that she was lying about it and proof of this was in her own statement and her boyfriend made a statement to police that didn’t match hers? Guilty til proven guilty or plea guilty

  • To anyone who says we live in a land of freedom, I say watch this video.

  • lulz

  • The man probably didn't get a 4 year sentence because he had butt statues on his roof, but he probably had some other crimes and this was used as a reason to bring him in.

    How do you feel about butts on somebody's private yard ?

    Ok, how do you feel about penises on somebody's private yard ?

    What about a statue of a man ripping his head off ?

    What about a statue of elderly people having sex ?

    Butts and penises may make you go "haha, that guy is so crazy :D" but the other stuff makes you go O.o

  • The thing is, he didn't have oldsex and paradoxical suicide statues on his yard, just butt statues. And even if he did have those things on, it's still his property. And his criminal past shouldn't have anything to do with it since butt statues aren't dangerous or illegal.

  • @ClankTube You completely missed the point.

    I was asking "Where is the line?"

  • I didn't miss the point at all. The line is drawn when his decorations become a danger to himself or others, or if they're illegal. You can get offended all you want, but if it really bothers you move away or fine the guy. You don't jail him for having bad taste in decorations. It's just the definition of unconstitutional.

  • Hahahaha & you americans thought you had freedom? #LOL

  • I would have said. "okay i will take it all down. but i will also rent out my house to homeless drug users in need. lets see how well your property value does now"

  • lol!

  • I live in Europe and my house is pink and blue!

    

  • Wow..that sum truly messed up stuff. This must be the reason why they made the movie Law Abiding citizen. i knw hes gonna go beserk when hes out.

  • LOL

  • america is the jews reich. america is the land of the controlled minds and false mottos. america-hypocricy. wake up.

  • @gatskillz ye the world is

    it hypocrisy

    mainly caused be religion

    for real

  • Hopefully this guy serves his time and then sues that police department for a dozen different things, violation of his rights and emotional distress among other things.

  • @Kancerous fuck yeah

  • Fuck this cunt-ry. George Carlin was right: "You have no rights. It's all an illusion."

  • These people crap all over christians and the bible and many other religions and love themselves for it yet they are outraged about a damn idion putting butt statues all over his back yard and call it the "greatest injustice ever"?? TheYoungturks are the ones doing the greatest injustice ever!

  • It sucks that he went to jail but he didn't have to: he could have taken the statues down and fought it in court...

  • NO!!!! America is NOT a free country. Only the sadly ignorant would believe otherwise.

  • Bigest injustice!?! You got to be fucking joking! You want to hear about injustice, children starving to death in third world countries while we are jaking off on the Internet. That's fucking injustice!

  • The biggest injustice in America based on our constitutional rights.... Where did he say the biggest injustice in the world?

  • @joelouisgt thats called good luck and bad luck. nothing to do with justice

  • @joelouisgt

    Should we go to them and jack off instead? Or maybe just bottle the sperm and send it to them.

  • i understand a little shunning and pressure, but jail?????

  • I like this show.

  • this is a gross injustice literally and figuratively.

  • Life ain't fair, in fact the injustice of the world is a joke, and death is the punchline to years of drama endured.

  • Wow.. only in america.. damn sad injustice

  • Sadly. This is 2 true. =-(

  • @H8unjustice tell me about it..... I LIVE HERE IN TEXAS

  • jkerouac02-

    I Agree, American justice system should focus more on rehabilitation... Of course, prison doesn't do any good to anyone, prison usually hardens/mold young ppl into criminal. I agree, black people are predominant in prisons, but not because they are black but because they the by product of their society (this kids usually grows up idolzing drug dealers/gangster.) instead of funding more money into school and afters school programs US are investing more money into wars and prison.

  • Lawyers. Have a look...

    watch?v=35102rnr0T4

  • Fuck America, xD

    This shit needs to change...Really? ITS AN ASS! You see it all the time on cartoon network. Oh pwn.

  • yep, fuck this place. i cant wait to move out of this country

  • "Land of the free?" Riigghhttt!

  • People should mind their own business and not complaining about everything that they see. It is his PRIVATE property! If you don't like it, move out.

  • religious ppl are a complete waste of life. id take a homeless guy over a religious zealot

  • "Fuck You" lol 1:05

  • Because his christian neighbors cannot tolerate IDOLS, which against their biblical beliefs.

  • yet catholics pray to a cross or a statue of a virgin lol

  • "He who angers you conquers you"

  • lol i live in europe and every house in my neighbourhood is the same colour

  • "Now having said that...Fuck you."

  • I know. Cenk great!

  • @AlexSongDoesCovers Hell yeah. Cenk is one of the most quotable people in the world.

  • Aldi food stores are ruining our life so with the help of a great Beatles song "another Day" we have posted our version, "Aldi A Message" Please show your support and leave us a message.

    Aldi Food Stores have 500 UK stores so far, they intend to build 1,500. They build in residential areas ans show no respect for the people to whom it may affect, it could be you next. Stop these corporate bullies from ruining other peoples lives. 

    Thanks so much

  • Butt statues? Awesome!

  • They gotta make that daughter illegal, its just a disgrace.

  • These people are talking as if it was the neighbors that sent this guy to jail. I believe it was the judge that did that. I understand that jail sentence too harsh though.

    PS I tend to forget, when the guy put up a hanging doll on HIS PRIVATE PROPERTY with a sign saying Obama, did people on here say he should be sent to jail?

  • yeah have sex on your lawn its private property you can do what you want. but the judge is retarted

  • Well, if people can se you from the street witch is public space, than that would be public nudity, etc...

    But if its in your backyard and your fence block the view enough that someone would only be able to see you by climbing over it, than whatever :P

  • The Judge... in this case should be kicked off the bench!

  • Authoritarian scums....

  • "ugly daughter" true.. they move and can grow up to do alot more shit than a statue

  • A house puke green? They need to get the death penalty!

  • 4 years for butt statues?!?! Give me a break! *shakes head* And I totally agree... we get more freedom in Europe ^^ But seriously, we had to make a few petitions when we built our house (cause it was in a very conservative neighbourhood and my parents wanted a terracota-colored stone house compared to the wooden ones around)... but that was mostly out of formality Oo if we did it without the petitions, we might've been fined... but to JAIL?! Puh-leeeeeeeeease!

  • That's not NEARLY as bad as the fact that most women who cut off a man's penis, did little if ANY time in prison.

    I dunno about you, but I'd rather be killed outright than to live crippled and mutilated knowing that the one who did it to me wasn't brought to justice.

  • Dude, Cenk is 100% right, WHO GIVES FUCK IF HE HAS SOME BUTT STATUES? ITS HIS OWN FUCKING YARD. I mean, what the hell ever happened to the privacy of your own house? Prison? Damn, I can understand if someone put up something offensive or racist, but a butt statue? Cmon, why are we so uptight about shit like this, are you afraid some kids are going to see the butt statues? Guess what, THEY SEE THEYRE OWN ASS EVERYDAY! WHO CARES?

  • At most, this should be a simple fine at most. WTF jail?!?!?

  • that judge should spend 4 years in jail

  • this is insane

  • Tea parties? What? And "turning the other cheek"? Isn't that what some guy in some book said to do? Think his name was, like, Jesus or something? Wait, are you saying the teachings of Jesus make you look like an idiot? What?

    -Tabris

  • Why would bringing up the Tea parties make a "liberal" an idiot?

    I would argue that the crazies that went to them were idiotic. Especially when you take into consideration the number one issue they were "protesting" was higher taxes when Obama but forth the highest tax cut in history.

  • tell me the different between the protesters in this video

    watch?v=ZzhbBbZJVN4

    and so-called "teabaggers" during the Tea Party Protester on April 15th.

    And when i say bringing up the tea parties makes all liberals idiots, I MEAN TO SAYS, It's the Liberals job to critizes the HIGH, more than normal Unfair taxing that was done for the past 20 years to this country

  • You A Fucking Idiot As Long As Doesnt involve you, you souldn't care

  • watch?v=ZzhbBbZJVN4

    irribeer101, check this out it involves everyone that lives in the United States, damn fool

  • I've said it before and I'll say it again...

    Only in America!

    Home of the brave, land of the Free? Don't make me laugh!!!

  • green lawns offend me... lets ban them... probably some religious nut who came up with these rules

  • Somethings you two havent thougt about is what if a storm makes the house fall apart and makes all the statues visible.

    Just joking you are both right.

  • ==See also==

    * [[Prison-industrial complex]]

  • I remember how shocked I was when I first learned about neighborhood ordinances. I was always of the general opinion that you could do what you wanted (within reason) on your own property but it's nearly always the case. That "you're bringing down my property value" argument is tough. So it didn't surprise me that he got into hot water but 4yrs taken out the man's life is an excessive penalty.

  • do those angry neighbours even no where he went?! or more likely, they just sit around thinking thank god that guy's out of here. That's unbelievable.

  • hahahah your daughter is kinda ugly.. that lowers my property value

  • Here's the thing You don't own land in this country

    read your deed , you are listed as the Tenant., not the owner.

    This is why they can get away with this.

    He is only an occupant. and the true landlord , the courts or banc (look it up, they mean the same thing) evicted his ass, and made an example out of him.

    "Get in line and stay in line."

    Welcome to the Panopticon.

  • Let's flip it...Would you want to live by an @sshole with butt statues in the yard? I wouldn't . But I do think the punishment is excessive!!

  • 4 hours in jail would be an injustice for this....

  • This is exactly why I absolutely REFUSE to live in any hoa district. I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay someone to tell me what I can and can not do with my own property. Its my property I'll do with it what I want.

  • im actually a real estate appraiser and none of this shit brings down property value. as long as you can pick the signs or staues up, they arent even considered in value

  • 4 years??? Man remember OJ got no jail time for actually murdering two people.

  • Hahahahahaahahaahahaaha

    Thats sad

  • The thing is, and Cenk touched on it almost at the end, but he's right, and these sorts of bullshit laws have been used in the past as a justification to not allowing 'undeseriables' into town (such as minorities) because they might 'lower the property value' of an area. This sort of shit needs to stop, not just because it's bullshit (and it is), but because it's so easily abusable.

  • puke green........ looooooool

  • Suburbanites are petty like that.

    Most them would kill their own kids if they did something like that.

  • Wait has he already been in fail or did he just go in?

  • This is a good example how people can't mind their own business. Just let people live their fucking lives assholes.

    Nosy neighbors can ruin your life. Some people can't step out their front door without feeling on display for their neighbors.

  • what if some one flew a swasi over there house you people would go nuts and demand he be fired from his job or some bs lie that

  • first off, that would be hate speech.

    Second, would I be angry? YES. But LEGALLY speaking I wouldn't and should not be able to do anything. If its his house, good for him.

    There are people (ie neo-Nazi) who fly swasi flags in PUBLIC, we might not like them but they don't go to jail.

  • its time to destroy the current government and make a new for freedom from shit like this

  • michaelangelo must be laughing his ass off

  • and yet americans claim US is land of the free they have lots of freedom and all these shit, all BS man i live in china i can paint my house any color i like

  • omg. asshole judge who gave him the sentence.

  • This doesn't surprise me at all. This kind of stuff happens in Florida all the time. Anyone remember when, in some county or another, they used eminent domain to confiscate some private property on behalf of PRIVATE DEVELOPERS??? I mean, seriously, they took away peoples' homes so that a private business could build condos there. And then somewhere else in Florida they arrested some group for feeding the homeless, and the state also refused to take in any Katrina refugees. Such a crazy state...

  • they deserve more huricanes

  • Wow some kiddy fiddlers get 6 months or community service,

    A 4 year sentance is just insane!!!

  • Did he live in a neighborhood with like a HOA? If so, he signed the crap, if he didn't want to follow the rules he should have moved.

    But I do agree any jail time for that is stupid.

  • I am a bit torn on this issue, while I am all for protecting free speech, where do we draw the line. Do we allow all things to be allowed in the name of free speech? What if someone put a pornographic image on their garage? Or penis statues? or non-paying solicitations for sex? do we allow for that as free speech, or do we use relative smartness and decide that somethings while allowed can be handled through the courts in preventing disgusting displays in semi public arenas.

  • This is like something out of Victorian England. Hang the little urchin for stealing a crust of bread!
