I was kind of shocked at how entitled you sounded. Can't relate to property because only rich assholes own things? Fine. How would you like it if some strangers took all the clothes in your closet and spread excrement all over them, and then acted shocked and offended when you protested, saying you were selfish for not letting them use your clothes as toilet paper. Think about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654303930129608743.post-7093676210302538372017-07-07T13:56:25.470-05:002017-07-07T13:56:25.470-05:00You clearly state that you recognize this was priv...You clearly state that you recognize this was private property and you were trespassing. What else is there to say? <br />If a hundred people you're following proceed to break in to a store and loot it, are you going to do the same and assume it's ok?<br />When you buy your own land you can do what you want with it and happily welcome hundreds of people getting drunk and blowing off their fingers on it, if you like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654303930129608743.post-48199899925141073852017-07-07T06:41:24.633-05:002017-07-07T06:41:24.633-05:00Annonymous makes some great points.

She shouldn't have to build up a huge gate to prevent people from lounging on her lawn, but if there was a huge iron fence I'm guessing nobody would have had the balls to climb it and chill on her property. It would be clear that's not ok, but for some reason her makeshift fence wasn't clear enough. If she hadn't said anything, then you would all just colonize her land until it affected her...mmarinaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530766837837932504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654303930129608743.post-39381670399217133802017-07-05T19:43:48.175-05:002017-07-05T19:43:48.175-05:00First, I am not Canadian so I don't know the l...First, I am not Canadian so I don't know the laws surrounding privately held land. Also I don't know any of the history of the fireworks show in this little town. Perhaps there was a time with this private property owner freely allowed visitors to her town to spread out on her property for the public fireworks display. Perhaps visitors did not respect her property and left garbage, demanded use of her bathroom facilities, and/or sued her if they were hurt on her property. Perhaps she had tried to work with the town and had met with no help.Perhaps crowds have become unruly in the past. Perhaps what was once a small town celebration has become more than the public lands in the town can handle. She did try to protect her property with the orange fence and people ignored it and didn't respect private property. Maybe she isn't rich-she may be land rich but money and resources poor. You don't know. You jumped to judgement and assumed the worse of the woman. You were a guest in this small town and an uninvited guest on her property. Rich or poor doesn't matter. You felt entitled to a good view regardless of a private property owner's wishes for her property. You were there trespasser who followed the crowd through the barrier she had set up to protect her property.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
