Nah, they are usually pretty good about granting extensions if you try to be reasonable with them. We had to move a shed and I contacted our town. Basically went back and said it’s the middle of winter and I can’t do it at this time of the season. They came back and gave me a 4 month extension no other questions asked. Of course it was a silly warning in the first place, and I am sure some cities are more anal than others, but for the most part they just want you to be in code rather than tick you off or have you ignore them.

A woman was murdered in her home on Boxing day by a 17 year old who had been arrested for a different home invasion the day before (on Christmas Day), and the police were forced to let him go under the old rules.

His scumbag mates picked him up from the watch house and they went straight to committing another crime, and this time they killed someone.

The "child" stabbed someone during a home invasion the previous year also, and the police were forced to let him go under the old rules.

So three convictions for home invasions in two years, two stabbings, and one murder.

The new rules say if you stab a bunch of people you don't get bail.

Just a bit of context on the "children" the Guardian wants you to feel sorry for.

In the book that inspired them, attacks on infrastructure is what lead to the race war that let the fascists come to power and the complete genocide of non whites and Jews. This is presented as a good thing and a happy ending.

They seriously think everyone is just a blackout away from full on violently killing everyone that doesn't look like them.

Yes, you can find the story of a 72yr old cancer patient being fined for not taking care of his yard while doing treatment. You can find stories of people facing violations and fines for endless amounts of absolutely ridiculous issues that would be resolved better by simply calling or reaching out to make sure the person is ok.

Why is it so hard for people to treat others in a humane fashion? Why does everything revolve around punishment rather than simple communication?
