Couldn't the "organized" squatting groups be prosecuted under RICO?
Yeah, see? “Free homes for squatters” is change we can believe in...
Change for the worse, that is. I guess mortgage payment are for suckers.[rolleyes]
Of course, we see what this woman wants: a free house. We can also guess what she's contributing to society: zilch.
This is the plan. Hasn't worked well in the past, but they think it will work this time.
The house on either side of me is empty but owned. One neighbor is in Florida for the winter and the other has several houses that he stays in as he travels around the country on business. The neighbor behind me also owns another house.
What’s to prevent these ACORN nazis from siezing these “extra” houses?
It's not her living room.
*Ring ring*...paging Barney Frank, Mr Frank?, oh ok Mr Dodd will wait for Mr Frank's return call
This is the microcosm of what is happening in the entire country at the moment. We are overrun with squatters like these, Obama-fueled “entitlement junkies” squatting on our way of life - and defecating.
Wow. How insane.
On the one hand, just the sheer ballsiness of it is impressive.
The sense of entitlement, though, is enough to make me want to puke.
Sure, they could be prosecuted under RICO; it could be a form of theft or fraud, and that’s under RICO, and it’s a criminal conspiracy, but we’d need some will to actually go after these people. After all, they’re just victims...
“Queen Omega” and her cohorts at “Take Back the Land” should be taking up residence in a padded cell.
The elites in NYC may not have a way to prevent this from happening, but we gun and religion clingers here in Athens, AL do.
Water and power WILL NOT be turned on until you present to the utility department either a) a copy of your deed - if you are the owner, or b) a rental agreement (signed by the property owner and verified against public deed records) plus a certificate of occupancy from the building inspection department.
These big city folks sure can be stupid!
Good plan. Now, if she can only find some tie-dye and clothing to steal......
Her Highness Queen Omega needs to contact...
Take Back the Furniture
Take Back the Plantation Shutters
Take Back the Sensible Landscaping
Take Back the Taseful Interior Decorations
Take Back the Grill and Summer Kitchen
and so on
Yep, Take Back the Land is just an organized crime ring.
Did you get a load of the pic of "Omega" (hmm, Omegatron, must be a Transformers fan)? All piled up in a disheveled mess on a nasty mattress.
Am I supposed to feel bad? That woman needs to get her priorities straight.
Wonderful indeed. Any bank that owns a house but refuses to maintain it, or refuses to deal with squatters in some manner, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Their actions harm the people who actually, you know, are responsible.
Does she ever leave the house? If so, the neighbors should just “move in.”
Does she have any possessions? If so, “acquire” them.
She has electricity? Cut remove the meter or cut the wires.
She has water? Get a valve wrench and shut it off.
Give her a 10-Missippi count to get her ass out of there or find her a new home in a cell.
I work long hard days to earn a living, keep my home, feed my family. Insulting to think some yahoo just assumes some ownership of a $400K home.
Our bizaro-world that put obamma in office includes too many who think in terms of entitlement. This ‘Queen Omega’ isn’t entitled to anything other than to get up each day and work like the rest of us. She and the organization that helped her needs to be b-slapped. Hard.
Isn't "taking back" something you never owned called "theft"?
OK, this is definitely wrong. But...how is it any more wrong than the gov using our tax dollars to bail out banks, insurance companies, auto makers and so on ?
Buckle up folks - until the American public gets outraged about all of the theft, it will just keep happening.
What about paying taxes on the property? Certainly the tax folks will get to the bottom of this. They can be pretty nasty when they don’t receive their tax money.
