her yard (like more than zero).

Woman registers her displeasure by honking her horn repeatedly, a dawn
(since there are no more roosters), in front of HOA's president's house.

When arrested, woman claims horn-honking is an exercise in free speech.

Convicted anyway.

Obviously the judge is in the pocket of the HOA.

Sorry, but she got what she deserves. If she bought a house in a HOA
area, then she has to live by the rules that came with it. And
banning chickens in the backyard certainly doesn't seem
unreasonable. More to the point, there is no one in their right
mind that would think blasting a car horn at dawn in front of
someone's house is protected free speech.


She was probably raised by a TV set and never learned to be decent to
other people. You see a lot of people who react to any restriction with
rage and retribution.
