Was irate at neighbor who reported him for condition of yard

Lots of free speech fights have erupted in recent years in America. There have been all of those people, and groups, censored by social media because the Biden administration disliked their opinions.

That's pending before the Supreme Court now.

Many other speech fights have developed on college campuses, where leftists show their absolute intolerance for others' ideas by disrupting meetings and events, even shutting them down.

But now a speech fight has erupted in the unlikely place of Evanston, Wyoming, where a man is facing a felony charge for posting signs criticizing his neighbor, who had filed a complaint about the condition of his property.

The charge comes because, a report in the Cowboy State Daily explains, the woman who filed the complaint is a "witness" against her neighbor, and she perceives his comments as "intimidating."

She accused Groneman of being "crazy" and "gun-loving," according to a court filing.

The report noted, "The felony charge of influencing witnesses is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and $5,000 in fines. It applies when someone 'by force or threats' tries to intimidate or impede a witness in a court case."

Someone trying to be a unilateral one person HOA felt threatened by the signs after using the Government to pester someone over how their property looks?

I wonder if this person (the complaintant) is a recent move-in from the 'blue', or if this is some sort of local feud.
