And they didn't mow their lawns. Most didn't even PLANT their lawns. No matter how many b-1 bombers roaring overhead as a show of force, no matter how many midnight raids we did, they just couldn't get it into their thick skulls that bad lawn maintenance is a serious crime where everyone is the victim.

That's always been the problem with Others (as in not-white, not male, not Baptist, not Republican) Brother Trent. They have no appreciation for what makes civilization, civilization. They go on all the time whining about their children dying from malaria and just ignore the simple joy a
wedding can bring.
And you are right, their lawns are a mess.
