  You are misrepresenting the nature of the fine. He was doing restoration of tractors so there was an unsightly mess of leaking rusting crap in his yard.
  
  The police response was overkill and the lie about the reasons for the fine is disappointments, and you do this very frequently. It is as if you are unable to see any reason you cannot do whatever you want except killing and raping.

  I love how this devolved into a fight about what real pizza is.
  
  However I am wondering why a Texas judge was involved in this case.

  Some of this is true, but not all.
  
  The strong taking advantage of the weak is not really a "world view" it is just a fact about the world. And ProPublica is not a politically partisan place. They ran a good story about how the Democrats redrew the map in their favor. It was very speculative but good to know.

  That explanation makes no technical sence, the email should be scanned by the smtp server. And blocking port 25 is useless because email can be sent via any port. 25 just happened to be easy to remember in the early days of the net.

  Did they use a stingray against the FBI?

  1. A short delay does not cause his book to vanish. His wife may have other arguments we are not aware of. It could be that the son shares his fathers first and last name. Or maybe she suspects he abused the son or she just wants a cut.
  
  2. Its possible this is all just for publicity.
