The unwelcome guest reportedly has taken most of his belongings and departed several times, only to return weeks later and make his way back inside the house even though he has no key or permission to enter...

Alright, now, wait a minute...

Rights, farms, environment ping.
Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

[blurb]

Will it take a court order to be removed from your list?

Oh... nevermind.

[farmfriend]

Will it take a court order to be removed from your list?

Smarty pants. Snickering.

If law enforcement is not present, "Where will the escalation stop?" Charlton asked.

The lawyer variously calls them 'police', 'cops', and 'peace officers' - we can all guess his motives. Reference an earlier quote from the article: "This eviction guy said, 'Where do you think I make all my money?')

Maybe the escalation will stop when the squatter is dug-up from believably deep-enough in a mudslide that folks'll think he got caught in it? (flash floods and mudslides can be incredibly convenient things, under the right circumstances)

Go take the front door off and the garage door and let the tenant know that "new ones will be ordered soon..."

I could make things so unpleasant around here that they would run, not walk away.
Thank God, I'm a Country Boy!

I'd tell him to fork over some rent money or else ......

[Gewittermädchen]

I have a tenant I'd like you to meet...

The guest - a relative of a friend who assists Joe's son - was relocating to California from the East Coast and "needed a place to stay for a couple of weeks," Joe's sister explained.

This guy is stupid. I'll let a blood relative or one of my best friends stay an extended amount of time at my place, but a relative of my son's friend doesn't warrant such charity in my book.

This is a fake! It is a fictional metaphor for illegal criminal Mexican aliens who break into our country and leech on US taxpayers and send cash back to Mexico. They are not wanted and do nothing to add to the US environment. Great story!

I don't belive this story, I think someone is pulling our leg.

[editor-surveyor]

Is it just me or is this nonsense?

Sounds to me like this guy is a first class wuss. You have the right to demand that a guest leave; why hasn't he done it?

[BenLurkin]

Interesting take.

[Jeff Blogworthy]

Please put me on you ping list. Thanks.
