BAYONET POINT — On Friday morning, Joseph Prudente put on a pair of shorts and his "Grandpa Gone Wild" T-shirt. He took off his wedding band and put his heart medication in a plastic Wal-Mart bag.
Then his daughter drove him to jail. Grandpa had time to do.
His crime? He had disobeyed a court order that he sod the lawn at his Beacon Woods home.

My god man. Where is your common sense? If you condone this outrageous abuse of power you are as bad as those who put this guy in jail.

Well imo the problem with that line of reasoning is it totaly lacks compashion for his finacial situation and is making his whole family suffer over the condition of his LAWN! Who is also to say those by-laws were inplace before he lived there, maybe they were recent additions to the by-law? If thats the case he lived there before this nonsense BS rule was in effect and imo nwas forced to alter the look of HIS property based on someone elses rules seens a bit wrong to me.a
