DENVER — A 71-year-old Denver man is facing a felony charge after city officials say he made a pickleball court without permission. With prosecution on the table, some believe the punishment doesn't fit the crime. "The whole pickleball community is really saddened and shocked," said Jan Devor, a friend of 71-year-old Arslan Guney and fellow pickleball player. Guney and others use a basketball court at Denver's Central Park Recreation Center for pickleball. Last Monday, the markings on the court had faded, so Guney re-marked them with a Sharpie. Three days later, an arrest warrant for felony criminal mischief was issued for

Good thing that there is no other crime in Denver or that the Parks Dept have all of their other problems solved

This is really a testament to the over criminalization of infractions. Defacing a bball court with a sharpie is the crime, and how it can be a felony is the real crime.

Drawing pickleball lines on a city basketball court. Way to show your senior citizen white privilege by defacing the underprivileged youths' b-ball court. What if they drew gang signs on your shuffleboard court? /s

Proving again that the deep state control is so deep and wide that anyone, anywhere, and anytime can be arrested and charged with a crime.

Same kind of people who arrested mothers for letting their kids play in parks, who filled skateparks with sand and chased down and arrested solo surfers during the lockdowns. They don’t mind homeless openly taking a dump or shooting up on public sidewalks, but draw a pickle ball court and they charge a freakin’ FELONY!

Fellow patriots. Please understand that every, single, dysfunctional sociopath that works in government is an ENEMY of Liberty. Like it or not; accept it or not; the only relief from this unrelenting misery will eventually be the gallows or Madame Guillotine. Mark my words, it's coming.

#10, I was hoping it would be by playing Cowboys and commies. 10-15 million 'lone-wolf' cowboys and the problem disappears in days.

If he was part of a smash and grab at a retail store his punishment wouldn't be as bad.
Denver is another city getting bluer and bluer and will probably go to hell like NY, LA, SF, Balt., Philly, Seattle, Portland, hey can anybody tell me what all those cities have in common?
#11 for the win!!!!

That was the real crime, assuming that a basketball court was for everybody in the community, even though you helped to pay for it.

Denver has turned into the Devil's workshop! Soros has done his job well. The garbage has taken over what was once a nice community.

Have to wonder if the guy has committed any thought crimes that precipitated this "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime!" moment, such as criticizing the vaccine or calling the election fraudulent on social media.
