    This is why I answer the door with a rifle in hand.

    A close friend of mine had the DPD SWAT team remove his father from his house so code enforcement could "inspect it". The guy grew up in NAZI Germany and was afraid to go back home after the storm troopers forced him out. Code enforcement also showed up and filled his perfectly clean and running pool with gravel with me standing there cleaning it claiming that is was a health hazard because the water was not circulating; they had just had TXU pull the electric meter a few minutes earlier and that was why the pool was not running. They sent him a bill for $40k for filling the pool. A few years after that they bulldozed the house and my friends dad died in the storage building he was living in about 3 months later.

    Neighbors think the old man who lives at the corner of Cortez and Thornberry might be a little crazy. His house is falling down, its paint is fading away, and plastic tarps cover holes in its crumbling wood-shingle roof. The old man's yard, jammed with lumber, pipes, bricks, scaffolding, and...




    My study of history has taught me that your best bet is to instantly kill the bureaucrats when they show up on your door step and I plan to do just that when and if it ever happens.

        I find it amusing that you have such a hard on for someone's opinion and immediately attack character instead of refuting it. You do realize you are just as zealous and fanatical as the supposed people you rail against right?


        Grow the fuck up. I'd hate to see what kind of role model you and your bigoted opinions have been to Avery.

            Don't even bother. He's is on a one track mindset. Hell, even his avatar shows that.

            No use arguing with beliefs, whatever they may be. He'll continue believing it no matter what you put forth, and you'll only frustrate yourself in the attempt.

                    Bastard. I'm looking as well, not that I think this country will slide up on the rocks (in some respects it already has), but because the uniqueness of it will be gone as well as the standing in the world and it will continue down the shithole path.

                        I remember this being in the news back when it first happened.



                        Read that article. This wasn't just a simple bomb shelter that he repainted and ran electrical to. He was excavating under his home. Neighbors reported he had been hauling away barrels of dirt from his property for a year.


                        Here's some highlights from the article.

                        City code enforcement officials are assessing what to do about an East Austin home after a man built an extensive bunker beneath it that drew emergency crews Saturday morning, city officials said Tuesday.

                        Jose Del Rio, a Vietnam War veteran, built a "multilevel" structure about 20 to 25 feet below the home, said Doug Matthews, director of communications for the City of Austin.

                        "The code officers went out to investigate it, and the individual was fairly cooperative and showed them what he had been working on, which turned out to be a multilevel underground structure," Matthews said.

                        There were two levels, and a third hole below those levels, Matthews said.

                        The code officials "had some concerns about the structural integrity of the building and the contents of what was down there," he said.

                        Melissa Martinez, a spokeswoman for the Code Compliance Department for the City of Austin, said "this is the first time we've dealt with this kind of excavation." She said the deepest part of the bunker was 35 feet below the surface

                          Wow.

                          "He used car struts and welded them into the basement walls as supports, and empty car batteries as cinder blocks," Kaplan said. "Everything had a plan — he was never just digging to dig."
                          What a moron.

                            Lol. Based on that story, He should have just left well enough alone. He already had one bunker. Why did he need two?

                              Based on his posts', I've often wondered (and hope) if Avery even has a chance...
