Tipp City is just North Dayton. Technically its own place, but... come on...
Prisoner 1: "Mmm... what're you in for?"
Prisoner 2: "Plastic yard dragons and a rainbow porch railing!"
Prisoner 1 turns to the cell door and forcefully shakes at the bars.
Prisoner 1: "Get me outta here!" >

"What'd you get, keeid?"
And I said "I didn't get nothin', I got fined fifty dollars and had to pick up the garbage."
"What are ya in for, keeid?"
And I said "Litterin'," and they all moved away from me on the bench and gave me the hairy eyeball, and I said "And causin' a nuisance," and they allll moved back. >

You can have anything you want... >

The meanest father-raper of them all >

Whoever claimed that children are scared of a giant dragon statue has clearly never spent any time with kids.  The people complaining are probably doing so because they're tired of their kids asking to drive by the house and asking to get their own lawn dragon. >

It's just people searching for a sympathetic argument for their own objections.
It's like people who hate fireworks who's go to argument is about vets since that gets more sympathy than some random Karen. >

Yeah but dogs get even more sympathy online, which is probably why that's most of the argument against fireworks on Facebook >

The wildlife makes out pretty bad too. Fireworks aren't really good but they are pretty. >

New Years fucked over the air quality so bad. People were setting off masses of ground level fireworks for a solid 5 mile radius, and not just at midnight. It was from like 6pm - 2am.
It literally seeded clouds. Fog hung around until the next morning, and it's never foggy here. It was so bad at midnight the visibility dropped enough to be concerning on major roads and it just smelled like sulfur everywhere. Bats were flying into shit, gf had an asthma attack. Fireworks are cool and all, but not really that cool. 
Give us a crescendo then call it done. Lighting the 24th Ladyfingers of the night is just compulsion. >

Yard dragons are a bitch to get rid of. They keep burning the grass and you've got to hire a ragtag band of misfit reluctant heroes to go slay them, then they divvy up the horde and you're left with half a dragon corpse and a bunch of rebuilding to do. >

Trogdor the Burninator strikes again >

Burninating the lawn >

Burninating the lawn Gnomes🎵 >

Carry the TWOOOOOOOO >

Well no wonder she needs a dragon to protect her, all her neighbors are cunts! >

She has the chicken of power on her yard to protect her too! Badass mofo. >

It's Ohio, just be glad its not 300 yards of hand painted particle board with frenzied messaging about jesus, sin, and abortion. There are multiple installations of these along state routes and have been there my whole life. Vague but pointed signs about how people who live near by are terrible sinners are not uncommon either.
Whimsical yards are always a welcome sight, I don't get people like this at all. >

Hell
Is
Real >

Hell is other people. >

Hell is the state of Ohio. >

Things to do in Ohio:
1). Leave >

As someone who lives in Ohio (and not all that far from Chardon) I can tell you I'd rather see this than a bunch of "Impeach Biden" and "FJB" signs that I get to see every day. >

I was going to say: If what she is doing is illegal, then there's about 50,000+ political signs that need to come down too. >

That's mentioned by her in the article too.  She says she's seen political signs from 2020 still up. >

How depressing is that. >

How about a man holding a rally in 2023 and referring to an election he lost in 2020 and repeatedly declaring he won said election. THAT would be depressing. Of course my example's ridiculous, nothing THAT depressing would happen in real life. >

I assumed this was an HOA.  It’s absolutely insane that this is the city sending her to court with misdemeanors.  
What the fuck. >

Land of the free, yeah?
I'm dealing with something similar. Obnoxious neighbor complained about my trailer while I'm back home with my family. City is telling me it's a code violation to store it on my own property if it's not in the backyard behind a fence.
Debating submitting complaints about the other 50 trailers parked in the same way in this neighborhood, including the ones who took the time to pour concrete for their own trailer pads. Not as a petty "if I can't have it nobody else can" sort of way but as a "this law is bullshit and if more people were affected by it there would be pressure to change it" >

She seems cool.  Her neighbors and the town she lives in, not so much. >

She should go and start reporting any comparable anything in other people’s yards. Nativity? Eye sore. Plastic deer? Eye sore. Concrete duck? Eye sore. Take everyone down with her until it’s dropped. >

They would ignore those reports, and likely hit her with another bullshit violation. 
You have to realize that these people do not care about their own rules.  They are merely tools of control that they use to hurt people they hate. >

Please, they prefer to be called "conservatives". >

Bullshit! Who doesn’t have a bunch of yard dragons? >

And a pet rooster? >


Bowman, who weathered a city lawsuit in 2020, which was later dropped, believes the city is unfairly harassing her with violations she believes are being unequally enforced citywide.
“There is a city ordinance for signs, but I think this is art, I don’t consider it a sign," Bowman said. "But they’ve also not had a problem with people who have had political signs up extended periods of time, you only have 30-days, they’re still up from the 2020 election.”

Rainbow colored anything, that's bad. Dragons, no good. Trump 2020 election signs, awesome, keep them up even though it violates a city ordinance. And to top it off city officials refuse to talk to the local media, as is par for the course when shitty politicians can't explain their hypocrisy. Stupid neighbors in a stupid city in a stupid state. >


Stupid neighbors in a stupid city in a stupid state.

Welcome to Ohio! >

What a waste of tax payer money >

I say we start a go fund me so she can buy life-sized dragons. >

Yes please. And to pay for my legal fines? >

what a shithole government, and shithole neighbors too. >

It’s Cleveland, not surprised >

It's Chardon. Not Cleveland >

It's Ohio. There's only one city. >

Come on, we have three whole cities, maybe even four, since we won the Toledo wars >

This Tipp City slander will not stand
