Woman jailed for messy yard gets helping hands | The Post and Courier, Charleston SC - News, Sports, Entertainment

Search the P&C's archives. They've got a few photos of the "messy" yard this good woman was jailed 6 days over.

And what do you know? While all her snooty Mt P neighbors and peers could do was complain and call the cops about it..............some good Sumaritans from GOOSE CREEK came down to volunteer to help her.

Which is why I'll be leaving Mt Pretentious on May 1st and never look back. Maybe one day Mt P can just pass a law that bans a person from being a member of the middle or lower class, and they can have their prestine city all to themselves once and for all.

Is that her yard in that photo behind her? It aint great, but don't look like anything to go jail over.

The photo you are looking at is of her yard after it was cleaned up.
Here is a photo of one section of her yard. In other photos there were piles of broken planter boxes and pots, plus an old sofa in the yard. FYI, she did have a fenced in back yard where she could have kept all this stuff. Makes me wonder why she didn't just move the stuff into the back.

OK. Wonder why she didnt let the neighbors help her if they said they were gonna help?

honestly the yard wasn't that bad. Not great, kind of ugly but not sanford & son meets hoarders or anything.

No, it wasn't bad at all. Messy? Yeah, a bit.

I bet if all the rich, arrogant, intolerant and nosy Mt P residents who whined about it.......had themselves faced unemployment and foreclosure, THEY would have other worries than the "aesthetics" of their yard....or what the neighbors opinion of the beauty was.

BUT...as is normal for Mt Pretentious, the neighbors beautification concerns outweighed this womans troubles, and the woman was jailed.

F**k this city, I'm counting the days til May 1st when I get out of this place and move elsewhere in Charleston.

we cant wait for you to leave either. You've got to be one of the most bitter I've ever encountered on this site. It's so over the top it negates pretty much everything you have to say. Hit the road already, move on, and quit whining about everything. Geez

[moneill]

So are you gonna bring this up every week for the next three months.

So have you been in touch with the lady to see what you can do for her.
