  • How dare a private citizen show any semblance of individuality! For shame! <<sarcasm. Whoever reported the lady for this needs take the the stick out of their rectum and mind their own business.

  • Definition of suitable : right or appropriate for a particular person, purpose, or situation.

  • this shit is so beyond stupid.the people who complained should be fed into a wood chipper!!!!

  • Suitable DOES NOT mean "Common". Someone should make live very uncomfortable for that lying idiot who attempting to control people on their own property

  • 'winnabaga, rutabaga'

    that is officially the first hearty laugh i've had today. this is how bad news should be delivered, with a joke.

  • Only in America could you be charged with a misdemeanour for growing vegetables on your own land!

    Land of the Free? Constitutional Rights and Liberties?

    Vote Ron Paul 2012 and get your rights back!

  • @Itsmeeman1 Ron Paul wouldn't do shit about this. STFU Moron!

  • @electronicoffee You're the MORON if you think a President's job is to tell you what you can and can not do on your own land. That's Ron Paul's point! It's up to YOU and your State's Law, not the Federal Government's agenda, to say what you can and can not do. You must be new here.

  • Vegetables are ugly. That is why super markets place them plastic bags that you cannot see through and you have to carry them that way until you get inside your house. :P

  • *Grows Vegetable*

    *Random Walks Along*

    UGHH GROWING YOUR OWN FOOD INSTEAD OF SPENDING MONEY AT THE STORE? DISGUSTING!

    they should just fuck off, wasting our tax dollars on some lady who plants some vegetables.

  • this is bull shit, not allowed to plant shit on your own lawn.. so much for freedom, u can't even reach decent justice..

  • People should just fuck off. Wasting all of this time and money over some random lady growing some fuckin Peppers or whatever? Fuck these people

  • hahaha, jews don't want you growing your own food!

    it could be healthier and may mean you'll get something you don't have to pay them for, you silly gentiles!

  • WAKE UP PEOPLE WE NO LONGER LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY WE LIVE IN A COMMUNIST COUNTRY BEFORE TOO LONG WE WILL BE TALKED OF AS A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY

  • @blindpig691

    uhh,.... this is the stupid stuff that HAPPENS in a democracy. When your nosy, idiotic neighbors get to gang up and tell you what you can and can't do with your own property. We live (more like 'lived') in a republic. Please, PLEASE go read something other than a comic strip.

    Democrat =/= Democracy, Republican =/= Republic.

  • @blindpig691

    You don't even know what communism is, you 'tard!

  • wtf is up with the subtitles!?

  • I love how all you people watch these videos then vote for Obama and expansive government. We need LESS government in our lives!

  • man its studebaker not winebego lol

  • Its not about the veges

    Its about rule of law and due process. This is a disgrace from all angles. Another prime example of hypocrisy and ignorance.

    Rule of law is necessary for a civil society and must be revered at all levels.

    She is right and the City is right together "They are both wrong

  • LOL!

  • evil vegetables

  • Were people really complaining about her growing her own food in the front yard? I'm with Ana. Why do people even care? Seriously, those people need to find something to do other than complaining about stupid shit. I don't accept "an eyesore" as a legitimate reason. If someone decide to put up a fence in their front yard while everyone else doesn't, would that be an eyesore? If they do, I would give them the finger and tell them to fuck off.

  • More proof how the US government wants to control you & even the world. I can grow medical marijuana in my yard but they bitch about veggies. If I had one wish it would be all citizens getting together as one and happily removing the governments existence prior to years of torcher as they do to us. I started my own business 15 years ago for the sole reason of controlling 100% of my hard working money. I have not paid taxes in 15 years nor will I EVER pay them scums as long as I live NEVER EVER!

  • LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE!

  • Rutabaga

    /watch?v=AT4sBW4h2Rc

  • One of these days, I'm gonna raise Pokemon in my front yard. A whole friggen day care center. If those douchebags try to get near my Pokemon, they will pwn them.

  • There could be cats and dogs in the yards. suitable means common? That has no relation to what everyone else is growing. What others grow can't be the sin qua non of what is suitable or common.

  • This makes me sick to my stomach. These people are whats wrong with the world.

  • "you can look all over the city and you wont find another vetetable garden that consumes the entire front yard". Thats because all over the city people are idiots who would rather grow inedible grass than something they can use.

  • I looked up "suitable" in Webster's and it does NOT mean "common." So the officious douche prosecutor should butt out and concentrate on real social problems. If common events were the only socially acceptable events, then we would never improve beyond the mediocre and banal.

  • people growing their own local food source should be encouraged, with the amount of money and energy they can save themselves and the environment, why chastize people for doing positive things, unbelivable!

  • anyone who is against a garden in ANY suitable area is a damn fool.

  • @ashesinyourmouth

    Damn right.

  • @ashesinyourmouth i agree

  • why the hell are tomatoes peppers and cucumbers suitable vegetables? they have seeds in them so their fruit!

  • put a shotgun to your face you ocd grass fapping machine brained sick demented diseased dirty rotten scoundrel bitch neighbor cunt slash dick

  • Definition of "suitable"

    1-obsolete : similar, matching

    2-a : adapted to a use or purpose (suitable for kitchen use)

    b : satisfying propriety : proper (suitable dress)

    c : able, qualified (a suitable candidate for the job)

    From the Mariam Webster online dictionary.

    The word "common" does not appear anywhere in the entry.

  • Ana youre thinking of the Studebaker.

  • @Maxpound No, they were right. Though Ana did not hear it correctly. A Winnebago (not Winnebega) is an RV.

  • Penis Cut Off Put In Garbage Disposal

  • what kind of piece of shit neighbor rats someone out for trying to make their life easier? people these days are so nosey and need to find something productive to do.

  • heaps of people have vege gardens in their front yard, I have one in my front yard. Thumbs up if you do too

  • Comment removed

  • When I went to Cambodia, the guide said that during the Khmer Rouge era, growing food was pretty much a death sentence.

  • 1:40 that was pretty good

  • Studebaker!

  • yet another reason to say fuck your neighbors and another case that the cops haves noghting better to do.

  • These things get even worse. take a look at savejon.org to see an even more absurd story.

  • Looks like Big Brother has shown his face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Or you could of been thinking of Studebaker's

  • its not about food

    they dont want us to have control of our own destiny

  • @elfornse Your fantasies are not borne out by history.

  • I wonder if you are allowed to grow veggies if you own a house. You're property.

  • Tens of thousands of people have died in Somalia. 3.7 MILLION people without food or water. Famine and drought rampant in Somalia and the Horn of Africa. A U.S. woman being taken to jury trial for growing some goddamn vegetables. What the FUCK is this world coming to??

  • @ZchibizroxZ Who cares about Africa.....

  • Webster's dictionary does *NOT* define "suitable" as "common". The closest it comes is by using the word "similar", which it says is an *OBSOLETE* use of the term. Suitable is best defined as "appropriate", both of which are vague in their use here - the city code needs to be rewritten before it can be enforced.

  • So much about the land of freedom. I am very glad that I live in Europe!

  • I will not live in any HOA area for this very reason. If I buy a property, it's mine to do with as I please.  If I want to grow vegetables or have a pink polka-dotted door, so be it. You don't like it, don't look. I HATE hoas. And when the city acts like one, it's even worse.

  • Ugh my neighborhood has HOA nazis too.. even though its just a normal neighborhood :| A couple years ago they told us they would fine us if we didn't give our house a fresh coat of paint... AND we'd have to pay for them to come out and do it anyway. I mean what about people who cant afford to do that all the time? Our house looked fine anyway...

  • It probably bothers people because they're worried about their property values or whatever but it should be her choice.

  • Be different, go to jail. Yeeyyy.

  • Wow, that city really needs money.

  • @evremn My comment was quite obviously satire on people who are so fixated on "pretty" man-made landscaping, huge green lawns, and think that anything else is ugly that they'll sue or bark at someone who forgets to water their lawn every other day and doesn't have enough shiny short bushes and roses lined up on the sidewalk to the front door, or if, god forbid, they forget to trim/edge for a damned week.

  • @coasteragent99 now that i understand what you mean, you make a good point.

  • @evremn I know a few friends who live in landscaping-nazi neighborhoods. For me, it's not too bad, but I've heard a lot from friends who have to put up with that sort of thing.

    Personally, when I move into a house, I'll probably find some heavily wooded area with trails in the backyard. I like the natural stuff better anyway. I know most people prefer neat landscaping and that's great, but some people can't look past it, such as these guys who had to make a huge deal over some veggie growing.

  • I had to look this up just to see.

    suit·a·ble/ˈso͞otəbəl/

    Adjective: Right or appropriate for a particular person, purpose, or situation.

  • suitable means common? suitable is most often the opposite of common...

    besides, what happened to personal freedom? it's her home, she should be able to grow whatever the hell she wants

  • GOD DAMNED MOTHERFUCKING HOA's ARE INFECTING THE CITY COUNCAl

  • Comment removed

  • For starters, suitable does not mean common IMO. Something common, might not be suitable for something. For example, I do not want a common man, I want a suitable one.

    I've never heard of a subset of plants being classed as 'common'. I think that guy is getting mixed up with 'usual' -- so they are not what you would see 'usually' in the neighbourhood.

    IMO, vegetables are suitable for people to grow because you can eat them. Non-edible plants are not suitable if you can't eat them. 

  • You're not allowed to grow a variety of veg?

    No wonder you're so unheathly, they don't let you grow healthy food. Go buy the artificial crap in the supermarket and pump money into corporate folk!

  • I think they should get a statue of the green giant instead of the typicall garden gnome and nobody will complain. Wouldn't that be cool? Not to mention american.

  • Comment removed

  • as an aside- she's wearing a wig.

  • WTF gawker media is awesome. kotaku gizmodo fleshbot FTW!

  • So we won't regulate the bank that could endanger Main Street, adn foreign markets, or the oil company that gets to drill w/o paying any royalties, or Monsanto that releases GM foods that need more testing, but we will tell a woman what she can and cannot plant

  • OMG tomatoes are uglifying that house with a god awful tomato red colour! Must call police!

  • Ah, America....

  • Richard is hilarious

  • You know people are bored if they need to flip out about vegetables in a persons yard.

  • LANNNDDDDDDDDDDDDD OF THE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND THE HOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMME OF THHHHHHEEEE SLLLLLAAAAAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV­VVVVVVVVVVVEEESSSS!

  • this shit is bananas

  • Suitable - right or appropriate for a particular person, purpose, or situation.

    Who the fuck thinks suitable means common?

  • "You know what that lady needs?"

    Yeah she needs to find out who snitched on her a bust a cap in dat ass.

  • Wow. People are shit.

  • omggggggggg so many stupid rules fukkkkkkk whats going on seriously no freedom at all

  • It's a damn good thing she didn't hang her laundry in the back yard! We're talkin' hard time there!

  • This is really just an obvious attempt to keep her from growing her own food. It has nothing to do with the way her lawn looks. I'm surprised no one noticed that.

  • I remember a story TYT covered a while ago, where some redneck made a KKK snowman in his frontyard, and nobody seemed to care.

    Why didn't the city arrest his racist ass, but this woman who only wants to plants some carrots in here frontyard is faced with jury trial?

  • Suitable in websters dictionary does not mean common; adapted to a use or purpose, That's what it means. Vote this up so everyone knows people in that town are mentally challenged.

  • The code states "no vegetable plants in front yard"; she has vegetable plants in her front yard so she's lost before she eveb walks into the court! I'm not saying it's reasonable she can't grow them but she's already lost!

  • @FieldMarshalRommel23 - where does tho code state "no vegetable plants in front yard"? It's not in the video. It's not in the code, which you can look up yourself. It looks like you pulled that legal citation out of your posterior. And what's a "vegetable plant" anyway? Nasturtiums are a common salad item. How about a pecan tree? Can she have an aloe? They're edible. Rosemary plants are common topiary in landscapes - and an edible herb. If you can cite that code, it would be hard to enforce.

  • @47f0 Ask the legislature! I didn't make the law, I don't even belong to the jurisdiction!

  • In what dictionary does "suitable" mean "common"?!?

  • @poopynonsense The Oxford Dictionary for Retards! page 241

  • "How long have you been felling this way?" Dude's hilarious.

  • @samiam2088

    i think the back yard is a pen for the three unlicensed dogs...

  • @failblorg

    LOL! i don't think there's too much thinking going on there... front lawn covered in wooden crates partly filled with cabbages... a year-round eye-sore... why don't she live in the country and farm the land... next she'll be herding goats and rearing pigs... LOL! like ma and pa Kettle... plus the smell of manure...

  • @CrackerJackLee hahaha good point man. i'd rather follow the government without question and be the cattle instead of raising it.

    can i get a high five?!

    *High Five!!

  • @47f0

    LOL! you've strayed a tad... the video's about a front lawn covered with wooden boxes with vegetables growing in them... it's not even a garden... it's a bunch of crates with some cabbages growing in 'em... it's an eye-sore... it's like a retard garden or first grader making mud pies... imagine living across the street from that... every day... even in the winter... LOL! shouldn't that get-up be in the BACK-yard...? fenced or hedged in...? what is she making such a point of it...?

  • @masterkayaki

    yes... it is a car...

  • people complain about people growing vegetables....meanwhile a real crime is going on somewhere else and resources are being wasted

  • Studebaker also kinda close sounding to Rutabaga, I thought that is what she thought it was, but Winnebago yeah, 

  • It is common knowledge that wheat leads to feedlots. Feedlots are against city code.

  • I think people should be allowed to grow whatever the fuck they want on their property.

  • What the fuck is wrong with the world?

  • the talk at the end about rutabaga and winnebago was more interesting than the failings of american society.

  • @Augur If I own property I should be able to do what I want with it.

  • @AssRapingHorseCock Tell me why. Should you be allowed to fill your entire property with eight feet of manure? Should you be allowed to play extremely loud music at all hours of the night? No. These things are against the zoning laws that you agreed to when you purchased your property. If you didn't like them, you should have looked for another piece of property that had different zoning laws.

  • @Augur Manure is different because the smell and health risk can effect those around it. Stuff that simply isn't visually appealing is not. Loud music disrupts other people, but something that isn't pleasant on the eyes doesn't. Sorry, but you're straw manning. Comparing apples to hand grenades. Sorry again, but not everyone can just pick and choose anywhere on the planet they want to live and immediately get there and start a life. "Don't like it, then move" is a very fallacious argument.

  • @AssRapingHorseCock Anyone buying a property has every right to choose where he purchases the property. He has every right to look for a place with regulations that fit the way he wants to live his life; and if that includes having a garden on the front lawn, so be it.

    This woman chose to buy that property, agreed to the regulations regarding it, and then broke that agreement. This is exactly the same as breaking any other zoning regulation, and she will be forced to change.

  • @Augur I just happen to think that these regulation are b.s., make no sens constitutionally (1st amendment, this is a way to deliver a speech), ecologically (grass is not natural in america - it is in Scotland), economically (price of oil, transport of fruit and vegetable mean more calories to bring the food on the table than it does to take them in the garden), anthropologically (culture, Victorian garden in WW1). I just think that it is the equivalent of a grammar nazi.

  • @therrydicule While I agree that a person should be able to sustain their own lifestyle (which includes feeding themselves, which more or less means having their own garden in these days), I also agree that a person should be bound by their word, even if what they agree to does not make sense.

    On my own property, I gave my word that I would keep the front of my home neat and pleasant to look upon, so that the neighbourhood's appraised value would be higher and draw in better tenants.

  • @Augur You know, the contract could be argue... Even if it is not common, it is suitable and considered "cute" under some cultural event of the pass. I could bring example the two world war, the great depression and the series of victorian guarden in the 1800 and even from hippies in the 1960's as precedent, saying that it was culturaly accepted as some sort of norm in American at one time, and that it's does not look like a complete mess. And since it was not strictly forbidden...

  • @Augur Yeah, It's really easy for the average person to get up, move to the location of their choice, buy whatever property they want, and set up a whole new life, get a new job there, etc. FAIL

  • @AssRapingHorseCock Yes, it's fairly easy for the average person buying a property or a house to say "I'd rather not live in this neighbourhood, I'll go look at properties in this neighbourhood four blocks away, or a mile away, or five miles, or ten miles". Buying a home isn't something that anyone is pressured into doing. You can rent for your entire life and be just fine, but if you are going to buy, then you need to get the right property for you.

  • @Augur Again, not everyone can just get up and buy new property with all the bullshit zoning laws in their court. Let's sell our house, try and get a new mortgage, bla bla bla. You speak as if you can just magically bypass all the beauracracy. If you buy property, you should be able to do what you want with it as long as it's not interfering directly with other people around it.

  • @AssRapingHorseCock You're right, it's hard to sell your current property and buy a new one. It is not hard to be more selective when you're buying your first property. If you're going from a rental situation and actually looking to buy, you MUST be selective or you'll get shafted in the long run. There mere fact that she owned this property means that, at one point, she agreed to the laws and regulations of that property. She has clearly broken that agreement and should be liable for it.

  • @Augur It is hard to be selective if the property is too expensive, you can't get a good loan, and you're tied to a job in a certain location. Sorry, but those laws and regulations shouldn't be in place to begin with, and need to be changed. It's nobody's business what she does with her lawn if it's not hurting the people around her, end of story.

  • @AssRapingHorseCock Your assumptions are not based in law or what has actually transpired. You saw a video and became so enraged by it that you clouded your mind and shut it off from logic. Not only have you disregarded reality grievously, you have continued to back up your initial reaction with emotions and halfbaked argument.

    If you remove yourself from the situation and return to it with a level head, you'll see what is evident and you will be better for it.

  • @Augur I am being perfectly logical. The laws are bullshit, and need to be changed. She did nothing wrong in the grand scheme of things. It's the laws that are wrong, and not her. She did nothing to harm anybody on her own property.

  • @AssRapingHorseCock Even if the laws aren't great, she still agreed to them, and she is therefor still bound to them. There are various avenues she could have used to acquire legal right to grow on that property, but she did not use them, and now is suffering the consequences of her illegal actions.

    What don't you understand about this?

  • @Augur I seriously doubt she "agreed" to anything. She most likely just needed a place to live near her work and picked the one place she could. It's her property, so she shouldn't have to ask anybody's permission to grow vegetables on HER PROPERTY. Common sense dictates that she shouldn't be suffering any consequence for doing something that is of no negative consequence to anybody else.

  • @AssRapingHorseCock Purchasing that property came with a hefty contract, as it does everywhere in the United States. In some neighborhoods it can carry additional legally binding contracts based on what the surrounding neighbors want, and you're bound to abide by those rules or face being forced to move. A place "close to her work" can be anywhere up to twenty miles away. I seriously doubt this was her only option. Common sense dictates that you read everything you sign your name to.
