Woman’s Survival Garden Illegally Destroyed By Tulsa City Officials

Woman’s Survival Garden Illegally Destroyed By Tulsa City Officials:
I’m told we live in the land of the free, but I have a hard time with that concept when I read stories like this.
An unemployed woman, Denise Morrison, who was complying with all the silly city ordinances on what she could grow on her property, had city officials show up at her house and illegally destroy a garden she had spent years growing.
Land of the free?
Not in Tulsa:

“Everything, everything needs to go,” Morrison said they told her.
When she heard they wanted to cut it all down, she called police. The officer issued her a citation so it could be worked out in court.
She said she went to court on August 15, and the judge told them to come back in October. But the very next day, men were cutting down most of her plants.
They even cut down some of her trees -– ones that bore fruit and nuts -– and went up next to her house and basically removed everything in her front flower bed.
“I came back three days later, sat in my driveway, cried and left,” Morrison said.
Morrison said she had a problem at her last property with code enforcement, so this time, she read the ordinance, which says plants can’t be over 12-inches tall unless they’re used for human consumption. She made sure everything she grew could be eaten, which she told the inspectors.
“Every word out of their mouth was, ‘we don’t care,’” Morrison said.
Morrison said she used many of the plants that were destroyed to treat her diabetes, high-blood pressure and arthritis.
“Not only are the plants my livelihood, they’re my food and I was unemployed at the time and had no food left, no medicine left, and I didn’t have insurance,” Morrison said. “They took away my life and livelihood.”

Liberals don't get it, don't care, make excuses, and control you...
