    I see people saying one of 2 things:

    A. The fine was absurd in the first place and the government shouldn't have done this.
    or
    B. The fine was appropriate but the seizure of the home was unconscionable.

    Unless the OP was trying to get Tribesman to agree with people as to a reasonable understanding of an obviously bad situation, he seems to have relayed the point well. I can assure you that he had no such expectations for you - why would he going on experience?

    Really ??? the uncaring tyranny of government
    The judge delayed the implimentation of the siezure when during the hearing questions first surfaced about the mental state of the debtor , when the hearing relayed information they recieved on the day concerning the mental state of the debtor to the local government , the local government acted quickly with an intervention .
    Where is the bloody tyranny ?
    The only suggestion of "more government" making things better is the judge saying perhaps there should be a provision for legal representation for people who are too thick to read their own mail .

    tyranny eh , pay up or lose your assets or come to an agreement before september to pay up and protect your assets .
    Bloody hell the local government bent over backwards to accomodate this person once issues of his mental state were raised .

    "through due process, the state enforced the original $50 ticket and eventually decided to kill the Appellant and eat his bones". I don't care what the due process was and I'm pretty sure that nobody who decided on the law had home seizure in mind. If any type of punishment is cruel and unusual - this is it.
