Some community activists could face criminal charges after breaking into a home in Southeast Baltimore.
Police were at the home Thursday night looking for fingerprints and other evidence.
The activists who staged the break-in belong to the Association of Community Organizations For Reform Now or ACORN.
After snapping a lock with bolt cutters, ACORN member Louis Beverly told supporters "this is our house now."
ACORN staged the demonstration to protest the foreclosure crisis sweeping the nation.
The home in the 300 block of Ellwood Avenue used to be owned by Donna Hanks. She lost this home in September, after owning it since 2001. When things got tough she struggled to make her payments. Her mortgage? $1995 a month. Her income? $2200. Donna's story is one that ACORN is taking a stand against.

ACORN - when you absolutely positively need someone with less ability and intellect than you’ve got.
“ACORN says that they will move Donna Hanks back in despite the fact that she no longer owns the house. During the taping of this story a man by the name of William Lane told ABC2 News that he owns the house currently—and plans to sue Acorn.”
Unbelievable!! Obama is promoting this breakdown in civil society.
This had to be an adjustable rate mortgage that went up. Only a lunatic would pay $1995/mo on a $2200 income.
A clue: They all wore brown shirts.
PING!
The problem now is that ACORN will have lots of money for lawyers.
I hope he sues the pants off of them. My only concern is that with his name in print, he'll end up getting harassed.
Sue them for $4.1 billion, Mr. Lane.
Next they’ll start burning homes down because they can’t have them.
Absolutely he is. Then he can manufacture an incident to declare maritial law, a/l/a “Reichstagg “ fire.
They are following the Socialists playbook line by line and page by page.
Once their power is consolidated then they will turn on the members of the media that is currently aidinfg and abetting them. Along with kissing their asses.
Unbelievable? No, predictable.
Their only targets will be their fellow travelers.
Those folks think they are Lenin’s advance guard storming the Winter Palace.
Under klinton and continuing on with cris dodd and barney the child porker frank, both on house and senate side of banking committees...fannie mae and freddie mac were ordered to give out undeserved loans and WORSE ACORN was used to put pressure on bankers....ACORN members were used to GO TO BANKERS very HOMES and threaten them if they refused to give out home loans to those who could not POSSIBLY pay them back.
It has been going on for years....and Bush TRIED to get barney and chris to pay attention and reform this horror...but the liberals kept pushing it....and they HAD TO KNOW that it would cause a housing crash...they HAD TO KNOW THIS...unless they are completely stupid.
I HATE that bankers were threatened....at their HOMES.
And I HATE that my taxes, according to the stimulus package...are contributing to the continuance of ACORN.....
Hope they know that we shoot arsonists on sight around here.
Lenin did that. ACORN et al think they have elected their Lenin.
ACORN now has an office in the White House too!

And DoJ implicitly behind them.
Or they might just start picking houses at random that aren’t even in foreclosure now that their thuggery has been approved and funded by THIS ADMINISTRATION.
Power to the people-go forth and rob rape and pillage.
This is unbelievable.
More proof that the time to invest in precious metals is now.
The houses on either side of me are owned but empty. Will these clowns simply start claiming homes like these? One of the houses is only empty because my neighbor spends winters in Florida. The neighbor behind me also owns another house. He doesn’t live in it because he took this one off the market last summer.
Police were at the home Thursday night looking for fingerprints and other evidence.
Now that's more like it.
It’s a short step from driving people out of the homes they live in and rightfully own.
True...it was predictable. We tried to warn people!
A what?
I would not be a bit surprised. There is a bad moon rising in this country and some of us are already fed up with it!
What is .22 guage??
He hasn’teven started with the bad stuff yet. Wait til he starts on our military.
Obama thinks he is Lenin as well. I really believe that man is out to destroy this country.
I believe that is a fictional MSM headline. Although if it happens again the intruders should be met by a gun imho.
I don’t think our military will put up with it! If I trust anyone in this country anymore..it is our military!
Tag line material.
As we’ve seen with illegal aliens. If you allow them to be above one law, they decide to ignore all laws.
Speculators come in all shapes and sizes. And most of them lose, by mathematical law. But they try it again anyway, every time. It always seems a sensible coin toss - with someone else's money.
Let them think that. This aint old Russia here. There's a time and a place for everything, and leninism is so last century.
Yes, I know. Acorn forced banks to loan money to people who are deadbeats and this carnage is the result.
Like lead and brass? perhaps some sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter to preserve it?
His Porkulus FUNDS this criminal behavior by brownshirt agitators.
The communists are now taking over properties by FORCE. The communists are pushing the country toward a very dangerous road. The communists will be defeated.
Damn, I was hoping there was a new gun on the market :(
Don’t give them any ideas!!!
It wouldn’t surprise me though. The lefties don’t care for the environment and wasting natural resources like they claim.
Oh..I know! And now that he has ACORN in the White House and the Census in the White House....you can imagine all of the ‘people’ they are going ‘count’!
We had better start filing lawsuits with the help of conservative legal groups....because that is our only hope of slowing this stuff down!
This promotion of illegal activity is right on the Acorn website..paid for by your tax dollars.
This is just like the Russian revolution..they just came and occupied your house.
What they aren’t telling you about this lady is that she probably refinanced the house purchased in 2001 and took out a big bunch of cash and spent it. She would never have gotten a loan with that payment in 2001.
You have got that right!!!
The bankers, after being intimidated, didn’t care WHAT kind of loans they wrote because some IDIOTS on Wall Street came up with a hair brained scheme to SELL those loans and slice and dice and bundle them up so NO ONE could untangle them again. Then they SOLD this as INSURANCE!!!!!
You are right THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING ALL THE TIME!!!
Now, lookie here. We have a NEW DEPARTMENT of URBAN AFFAIRS!!!!

I guess that they ARE going to kick the taxpayers out of their houses so that they can keep their toadies, the welfare cheats, warm and cozy and reassigned into our homes. That is what commies do.
They are going to tear this country apart.
AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
“This is our house now,” said Louis Beverly, ACORN
Didn’t they say the same thing about the White House after Obama was elected? (eye roll)
These people need to be stopped! Breaking into homes is not ‘civil disobedience’. It reminds me of the reported tactics of ACORN busting into bank executive meetings to intimidate them into giving them loans in the first place.
