Should have just left the man alone. Get what's coming.

Yard doesn't even look that bad. I've seen way worse and there was no health problems because of it.

[drumhaver]

First time the code officer had ever heard of this, and yet "it just shows the danger of this job." Huh?

[CODYORMOE]

It’s his property, should have left him alone. Don’t want to get shot at? Don’t trespass on people’s property. Utterly ridiculous.

[ravenp]

This is ridiculous....but, it's Texas.

[re-enlisttoday]

Doesn't matter what the issue is, you DO NOT come onto a Texas property uninvited.

“Professional” lawnmowers. Let me go tell my teenage son so he can add that to his resume..

12"? They do it in my town if it gets over 7" tall.

No one is going to talk about the HAZMAT SUIT🤪🤪

[madamaoa]

Let's focus on this lawn & not the millions of unsolved homicides, agg assaults, etc.... Let's risk the community and the lives of our s.w.a.t. team for grass 😒... MISGUIDED PRIORITIES...

[sefo]

Lol...the lady said she was scared because she nvr heard gun shots..lol...u live in a high class neighborhood.. Of course u not going to hear nothing..That's when u know she lives under a rock clueless of what is going on in the world

[maxboya]

Unreal. “So the community looks better”

It’s the mans property. Let him do what he chooses to do. He had every right to defend his property.

Maybe I watched king of the hill too much growing up, but I love mowing my lawn
Could've just liked the messy look with a strong passion

[pattysouza]

Karen called the Lawn Police to take this terrible homeowner Down.

[Karen-urmm]

Why didn't anyone offer to mow it for him?.. being neighborly

[dondonahue]

Cut your damn grass! Now you'll be cutting it for free in prison!

[sergioflores]

This should call attention to the fact that the city of Ft Worth has been oppressing the working class in this town with aggressive code enforcement and ridiculous fines. But knowing city hall they're going to sweep this under the rug and not address it at the next public meeting. It's my understanding that this guy has been harassed by code compliance foe a decade. I know from experience that their tactics and fines can make you depressed. Maybe someone can set up a Go Fund Me for this man's defense.

[sonyaedwards]

U people are sick leave people alone u cops should ashamed make it better really

[angelessolis]

I think he wants his yard to look like Chisholm Trail Park

[SleevesYT]

My man legit shot at cops for him getting his yard mowed for free
