Does anybody want to bet that Glenn Beck and his followers will show as much concern for the plight of Cooper Veloudis as they have for Johnnie and Clara Russell?
After over a decade of ridiculing "zero tolerance" policies in public schools

and using those examples as evidence that the public school system is flawed,
it is telling that conservatives and libertarians can accept and rationalize the zero-tolerance policies of private corporate governments.
Along with
* double taxation
* excessive litigation by and for greedy lawyers
* using dues against the interests of dues-paying members (compare to "paycheck protection" proposals for union workers)
* theft of individuals' homes (contrast Susette Kelo to Michael Clauer)
* communism: the collective ownership of your private property
zero-tolerance and the lack-of-common-sense is another one of those features of HOAs that the political Right should be against, but for some reason is not.
