Defiant 'Junkyard Man' Back Home After Time In Prison
http://www.wftv.com/news/3728078/detail.html

"SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. -- The Seminole County man, whose famous front yard got him sent to jail, is now at back home. Alan Davis is on house arrest after spending a half year in prison for defying Seminole County code enforcement for nearly a decade."

I can't believe Seminole county sent this man to jail for displaying sculptures on his own property. Back in Maine, where I used to live, lots of people had art work, broken down cars, etc. on their property, and nobody cared. This guy needs to move to Maine, if he can tolerate the weather. People will actually accept and respect him there.

1. 30 toilets in his front yard set to flush to music every 30 minutes...
along with gigantic asses (standing, sitting and flaming). Wouldn't you just love to have this "artist" in the neighborhood.....

2. but is it bad enough to send him away to PRISON???
A lot of people DIE in prison. It is a dangerous place to be. It is not right to send him to prison. A little perspective, please.

4. YES!
I would organize tours to show people this!

He should charge admission (no wait, you can't run an amusement park in a residential zone, can you?)

The place was a dump and a health hazard
