This squatter’s plan was predictable.
The property owner has to remember what kind of people he’s dealing with. Most of them feel they have nothing left to lose, so why not engage in some public footdragging to garner sympathy from other useful idiots?
You have to remember it is the article of the faith for socialist that the poor are the noble and the wealthy (producers) are the evil exploiters (with the exceptions of themselves because they are ‘woke’).
All the deserving poor need is a hand up and getting the capitalist boot off their throat.
Maybe this painful lesson will actually teach this socialist who he is dealing with but I doubt it. Ideologues are hard to educate no matter how painful the lesson.
