Snitch society example #872376438:

Quote:
A Point Pleasant Boro family were told to take down their "mailbox library" after complaints were made by a neighbor – and police were ultimately called on them.

And they were told to dismantle it very soon after it opened, according to the family, even though kids had already come by to pick up books.
Example #6967958605 of how you never actually own your property:

Quote:
The Hagemeyers then were told they had 10 days to take the structure down off their property. The family was initially told that such libraries are not allowed because they're not mentioned in the land-use ordinance.
The town of course did a big CYA after major outcry:

Quote:
The matter was resolved by Tuesday, when local officials told the Hagemeyer family to just stick it deeper on the property.

If you keep changing the reason why it needs to be taken down/altered you have no reason.

Up next: combing through the box and censoring the literature inside.

I love these. Our neighborhood has several of them, although they have been placed on paths maintained by our HOA rather than in residents' yards. They're well-used and a great addition to the community.

They'd prefer to have those kids be indoctrinated by government schools and their "textbooks."

That neighbor should go eat a bag of ducks. What's next, ratting someone out for using their own front yard to grow a garden rather than some stupid useless lawn?

Idk I'm starting to wonder if the government really has a purpose at all...
