Father forced to beg squatters to get out of his new £1m home through the LETTERBOX

Squatters would be shot in Texas, and no charges would be filed. Too bad about the stupid people in England who have no property rights.

[ICE-FLYER]

For the love of all things decent...they are NO LONGER A COUNTRY OF FREEDOM. I would come in, with my side arm, I would tell them they had better pick up their things that instant or I would deem them a threat to me and start taking care of my safety.

This?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Situations like this are the reason God invented the Street Sweeper.

“Just how does this guy think these poor squatters can fit through his letterbox?”
There are ways of doing just that.Very messy.sarcasm alert!

[max americana]

you mean the Squatter Splatter...

[AndyJackson]

Has anybody heard of “adverse possession”?

This is not adverse possession. Legally it is known as forcible entry and forcible detainer.

So now you understand what the EU truly is. And England willingly agreed to be part of it. So now the question is, when will this absolute disdain for property rights come to the United States, because, in short, that is all this argument is about. Property rights and who has them. Clearly, the EU will use Europe’s tax money to fight to eliminate private property rights.

No, the house where they had to live with all the squatters and were being told what to do by the feminazi cammaczar.

"travelers, or gypsies. They don't really live anywhere, and just move from place to place and usually create problems in all of them. This guy looks like one of them"

No, he's just a grungy yute who fell on the bandwagon. He looks soft. 'Gypsies' look different than that. It's hard to describe.

This is one:

Here it is called Burglary of a Habitation and can get you 2 to 20 years in prison.

If you approach this guy, you will smell neat alcohol. At first, you will wonder if he spilled some spirits on himself. But in fact, the alcohol is coming from his pores.

So now the question is, when will this absolute disdain for property rights come to the United States, because, in short, that is all this argument is about.

That disdain arrived in earnest with the Supreme Court's decision in Kelo.

There a massive number of foreclosed homes sitting empty in this country. As the economy crumbles further, we will see squatters moving into those...it will give them a place to crash in between protests at state capitols.

[Farmer Dean]

He looks pretty tough.He’d be the first one to get shot when the trouble started.

[RegulatorCountry]

If I encountered this guy, my first impression would be “carnie.” Very street smart, essentially a grifter, wise to the ways of taking from others but generally not very bright otherwise. Just schlepping along on what they can bamboozle and can’t imagine living any other way.

[jongaltsr]

Government no longer works the way it was intended. Logic is now out the window.

We will soon be having to fight in the streets to reclaim what is ours and we will have to fight our own government along with the riff raff that they now represent.

If you are not willing to fight then you might as well join them as that will be the only way to get something for nothing. The rest of us will have to fight and possibly die to maintain our rights but I’ll go that route instead of degrading my morals and standards.

What men found out a long time ago that death was much preferred to servitude.

Now that you mention it, there was an article in the Mail a while back about gypsies who booked a wedding, trashed the hall and stiffed the caterer. They were all rough tattooed types too (even the bride). Very weird subculture...I think they are insulated by the P.C. police in the UK, based on some of the reader comments.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

Yeah carnie is in the US what gypsie/traveller is in England.

“I think the only way to get them out is to burn the place down.”

Well at least fumigate. LOL!
