Thoughts on an Idiotic Issue

So you were chatting with MamaBird on Tuesday night and your topic turned to none other than The Italian Stallion, of AmerLit class fame. So she says, "You'll never guess what happened."

Well, you certainly wouldn't have guessed that he'd get a ticket for over three hundred dollars for urinating in public.

Nor would you have guessed that a private backyard was "public."

And you definitely wouldn't think peeing in your own backyard was public enough to count as "in public".

Well, at least your backyard wouldn't. You dunno what his looks like.

But you don't know how to feel about this. You've... relieved yourself once or twice on your own property. Apparently he had the gate open, but you don't know the last time you decided to stand next to an open gate while urinating. You rather feel like what happens on your property is your own business, but then again you've heard about people being charged with public indecency by walking around naked in front of the windows when there are little kids playing outside and such, so...

All you know for certain is this... you wish you were the cop who caught him...
