I can't tell you how many times I've seen this scenario played out in Boston.

Usually the elderly person is taken into protective custody and hauled off to a nursing home and sedated while city inspectors loot the place of cash and valubles; then the dumpster shows up and some contractor cousin of another city employee throws a lifetime's worth of possessions away and boards up the property; they lien the property for the work and scoop the real estate through a court appointed "guardian" (usually a politically wired attorney).

Agreed. This is the vicious untold corruption that underlies the Nanny State. You will see this occur more frequently as a certain percentage of the population refuse to relinquish their sovereignty to an increasingly corrupt government.

With all the crack houses and slum lords floating around the city housing authority just "happens" to pick on a self sustaining older citizen who asks only to be let alone for the housing equivalent of spitting on the sidewalk.

Look at what happened here- an elderly man successfully (partially) defended himself against a home invasion conducted after dark with a .22 pistol?

Absolutely, this stinks to high heaven. Best regards,
