Hi Folks - Okay, okay! I apologize for my last uproar and never meant to hurt anyone that participated in this thread. I was out of line totally for my sermon.
I noticed the mention of legality from all aspects of doing whatever to one's neighbor on their property. However, if push comes to shove, a gun is involved and out of the truck or out of the holster, be it anywhere, on his property, your property, or in the middle of neutral territory such as the middle of a public road - the infamous word "intent" will be used. A whole lot more of legal jargon goes into these court cases but what is it going to cost to defend oneself in a courtroom? Posession of marijuana was once an expensive item to defend but it is getting less and less in costs lately. Is anyone willing to risk their farm and savings over it? I don't care where you live in the country, the law is the law and everyone's case is handled the same. What happens to your little lady with no one to protect her? I for one am not going to sit in jail for the rest of my life over 3/4 acres or waste everything I worked for all of my life to a lawyer. Brin is now and did handle it in an intelligent manner and it appears to has been resolved in a civil manner. If the staples in the tree are fully removed at this point there will be no harm to a veneer quality log. Nowadays the staples are not long enough to penetrate the bark and cambrium to even harm the treasure within If the neigbor is producing "Meth" on his rented property, we are not to make that determination when in reality just because it "appears" to be. There might even be a law to protect that neighbor in regards to visual trespassing his privacy. I guess if you look at the plausibility of one poster to say that he wasn't on the neighbors property, only the bucket. That bucket was attached to a machine on your side of the fence when the building got knocked over on his property.
As I said earlier in this post, I was way out of line, please accept my sincere apology, but also consider that violence only promotes more violence as that wound festers inside of you, it is like a cancer in that it takes precedence over a person making intelligent decisions in other things. If you are still mad - post it here and I will withdraw from this site.
