Kathy Griffin Declares Land War

So your neighbor decides he's going to widen a road that leads to the home of an elderly woman. Why? Because that's how he rolls.
Kathy Griffin
But what happens when he rolls right over your fence and starts building a retaining wall on your property without your permission? If you're Kathy Griffin, you do more than stand-up -- you call the city and put an immediate stop to the illegal incursion.

While the seemingly well intended, do-it-yourself neighbor claims he's only trying to make room for the inevitable arrival of emergency vehicles, Kathy is holding firm.

TMZ has learned Griffin was informed by friends while out of town that her fence had been laid to waste, and has since issued an official "stop work" notice. We've also been informed that notice or no notice, construction continues.

Our advice? Don't piss off a woman that can shred you in front of a national audience for years to come.

7. So much for property rights. Fight Kathy, if you give an inch he'll take a mile. And probably legally. I've had this kind of problem. "Can I just use a tiny strip of your land?" NO!

8. WTG Kathy. That is your land. If he is being so "nice" to this elderly neighbor, why not offer HIS land to widen the road and not just take from others?

9. Don't cross Kathy! Bc she will be talking about in her next Bravo special...unless you're cool with that!

10. Why didn't they widen the road the other way? Someone's just jacking Kathy around.

11. If you vote for Obama, just remember that you may be risking your children and your grandchildren's future. Obama has associated with radical Muslims, terrorist sympathizers, RACISTS, ACORN and anti-American preachers. Obama will raise taxes, he has hardly any experience... If you think things are bad now, things will get much worse if Obama is elected.......Honestly, we cannot trust him and that is why we should vote for McCain.......

12. Perhaps, if he had just asked first......................................

13. 9. WTG Kathy. That is your land. If he is being so "nice" to this elderly neighbor, why not offer HIS land to widen the road and not just take from others?

Well said. The "friendly neighbor" has an ulterior motive.

14. VOTE JOHN McCain.... Please save our country from Obama

15. What that neighbor is doing is illegal and Kathy should retain an attorney immediately. Surely there are permits required for a project of this size.

More importantly, #12 needs to do more research. A vote for John McCain is a vote for injustice and a continuation of the downward spiral that a Republican administration has nurtured since the 20th century. It's time for change in our country!
