Outsquatting the Squatters

Landlords are now beating squatters at their own game. They are learning how to turn the tables by squatting on the squatters.

This concept of invading the homes of the squatters was made very public by Mr. Flash Shelton: He became a national inspiration to landlords when he employed bold strategies to evict a mother-daughter grifter team from his mother’s family home.

The dramatic event was recorded by Mr. Shelton and uploaded on YouTube.

His amateur production of outwitting the mother-daughter grifter team offered a glimpse of what could be accomplished when the injured party (i.e. landlord) refuses to be handcuffed by an inept and morally bankrupt judicial system. He is a handyman by trade and used to getting the job done himself.

Landlords must have been gobsmacked by the simplicity of his strategy as evidenced by the more than two million views in less than 48 hours. The informal eviction process would prove to take approximately 24 hours.

Shelton simply staked out his mother’s home and waited for the grifters to leave: Then he proceeded to enter the premises to install security cameras, change the locks, and record the squatters’ personal property piled high in every room. The grifters appeared ready for a long and cozy stay, placing their expectations on the law-abiding landlord getting lost in the nightmare of drawn-out legal filings and costly judicial fees.

Things did not go as anticipated for the squatters.

They returned to the home to find Shelton waiting for them and waiving a lease in their face (with his mother naming him as the legal tenant) and alerting them to the changes in the house. “Ninety percent of the time,” Mr. Shelton says, “The lock-out procedure works.” That’s his strategy of choice.

One can only guess at the number of landlords watching

It’s sick to think of all the hoops, barricades and booschidt the government put up because of the Kung Flu from China but don’t do jack sh*t to stop the human pollution rolling into America across the so-called border from Mexico and points south to Antarctica.

Here’s a serious question; Wouldn’t squatting be considered a home invasion? Think about “Castle Doctrine” states.

Americans just do not grasp that they are living in the midst of a Marxist revolution.

It will be obvious to people viewing it 100 years from now, but we can’t see the forest for the trees

...the recommendation has been not to shoot for center of mass, but to shoot for the pelvis if they are not armed with a firearm.

That recommendation is due to the prevalence of criminals wearing body armor. It also reduces the risk of injuring innocents with friendly fire from a through-and-through by not firing horizontally.

That a property owner has to resort to this in the USA is sheer insanity.

Now the person paying the mortgage, insurance and taxes must jump through hoops to take control of their property.

Also, do not let the utilities go unpaid and get turned off.

A few weeks ago I read about some owner having the utilities turned off and the squatters went to court, and some execrable judge ordered the owner to have the utilities turned back on and to pay the bills.
