Free This Florida Man – It Should Be 100% Legal To Throw Dog Shit at Your Neighbor if He Leaves Dog Shit in Your Lawn
Dexerto – A Florida man has been arrested after an altercation with his neighbor, which saw him fling dog poop at him and threaten to hit him with a children’s scooter.
According to the report, Decloedt claimed he had complained to his neighbors about their dog using his yard as a garden. The 35-year-old reportedly confronted the man at his home before hitting him with the feces.
As per WKMG-TV, Trey Decloedt from Leesburg, Florida, was arrested after he’d grown tired of his neighbor leaving dog poop everywhere and ended up throwing it at him in a heated confrontation.
"Arrested" is crazy. For starters, I thought this was America Florida. If you drop into any random municipality in that state, there will be at least 3 worse crimes happening within earshot. The police must have better things to do than butt in between a couple neighbors handling personal beef like responsible Florida men.
I think the title of this blog pretty much sums up my thoughts on the story. It's very simple. If you have a dog, you should pick up after them. Not picking up after your dog is shitty. I don't expect everybody to be perfect. Sometimes you run out of bags on a walk. But you should know, if you don't come back and clean it up, your neighbors should be fully within their rights to hurl it back at you. It's only fair.
And if you're continually letting your dog shit in your neighbor's garden, and continually refuse to pick it up, that's even worse. This Florida man who's been arrested in this story did nothing wrong. It's a classic eye-for-an-eye situation. Just like the Bible says. Leviticus 24:19-20 – "Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, shit for shit. The one who has inflicted the injury must have dog shit thrown in their face."
Sure this gentleman may have taken things a little bit further than simply throwing the dog shit back in his face.
Decloedt’s neighbor claimed that the 35-year-old held a children’s scooter over him too, threatening to use it. “I mean, he scratched my neck all up when he grabbed me. There’s two sides to this story,” Decloedt told police.
As per WKMG-TV, Decloedt faces charges of burglary with battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and simple battery. The burglary with battery charge comes with a minimum of two years in prison, if convicted, so the 35-year-old could spend some time behind bars.
But threatening his neighbor with a Razor scooter... that's for all the times he let it slide. Now they're even. I bet that dog owner will never let his dog poop in his neighbors garden again. Just have the two men shake hands, share a bottle of moonshine, maybe do one more fist fight in the front lawn, then get on with their lives. There's no need to get the cops involved.
Free this man. It's what Jesus would do.
