WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a huge win for the Rule of Law, The U.S. Supreme Court has approved the death penalty for anyone who uses a leaf blower before 8 A.M.

"Putting someone to death for waking up the entire neighborhood with an obnoxious leaf blower is not cruel and unusual punishment," said Chief Justice John Roberts of the 9-0 decision. "It is a reasonable and just punishment. The national scourge of waking up to what sounds like a hairdryer being pointed in your ear before you've had your first cup of coffee must end."

Florida will be the first state following the ruling to impose the death penalty for inconsiderate leaf blowing. "Look—this woke early-morning leaf blowing has got to stop!" said Governor Ron DeSantis. "As long as I'm governor, we will continue to protect our citizens from this evil menace! NOT ON MY WATCH!"

Public schools in Florida instantly responded, vowing to defy the governor by blowing leaf blowers in students' faces 24/7 while teaching them CRT and making them wear masks.

Several more states are expected to follow suit, at which point they will turn their attention to imposing the death penalty on those who mow their lawns after 9 P.M.

If lazy people got out of bed sooner, they wouldn't be bitching.

Does leaf blowing actually do anything?

I get the fall, actual leaves…

But every f’n week after mowing?   How about watch where you blow the clippings.

It mostly seems for show to me.

Roberts would never vote for something like that.  He's just the kind of douchebag that would be out there at 7am with his leafblower.

We have a local case where some guy got shot to death over a lawn clippings argument.
It is an interesting case involving self-defense arguments.
I think it went, guy comes out armed over grass clippings getting blown onto his property and Hispanic looking guy goes to truck gets gun and  stretches angry homeowner out.  
I will need to look in on the status of that case.

If lazy people could use a rake or broom we wouldn't have to suffer through their noise maker/dust storm creator.

I sold a SxS a while back and the gentleman picked it up at my house.  Out of the bkue, he looks at my my lawn and says Ive seen that cause a lot of fights and injuries.

I'm very confused.

Umm, sir, what?

He points to my sidelawn where my neighbor has erected a small painters tarp to keep the leaves from my tree out of his lawn.  It's the north end of a cul de sac, shit always blows up there.

Anyway, buyer goes on to tell me he's retired OKCFD and he'd responded to many calls over the years because of fights stemming from stuff like leaves.

I had no idea that was even a thing.

What about trash trucks at 0430 in suburbia?

Fuckers used to only come in daylight, but now due to covid staffing shortages they come before dawn.
