SEATTLE - A Seattle woman says she came home to find homeless squatters setting up a tent in her backyard.

The home is for sale. Lisa, the owner, who asked us not to identify her or the house so it would not interfere with her sale(snip)

When she came home Monday, she found that man and another one in her backyard setting up a tent and drinking out of the hose. She said they'd spread items out on the patio and the stairs too. She said they'd even brought religious statues to put on the steps.

Lisa says she screamed and told them they were trespassing and to leave. She said one man walked up to her and told her that she was the one trespassing, claiming he owns the house.

"The delusion is what scares me. You never know what somebody's capable of when they don't have rational thought," Lisa said.

Neighbors rushed over and scared the men off, Lisa called 911. While an officer was taking a report, the men came back. Lisa thinks they came to get their belongings.

"I feel completely violated," Lisa said. "I've spent my last seven years putting my hard work and money into this house and I feel fiercely protective. But at the same time, I don't want to threaten my own safety by protecting this property."

She says the men have been back five times. Lisa had a friend stay at the house las night and he was armed.

Lisa worries they’ll be back, "Who is to say it might not happen again?"(snip)

Seattle Police took the items from the backyard and are investigating the pair for trespassing and prowling, according to the police report. Officers have been called out to the house several times.

“She said they’d even brought religious statues to put on the steps.”

She would deny shelter to a couple of humble pilgrims???

#19: "I wish troops of Irish travellers would occupy Seattle democrats' family rooms. "

Unfortunately we've got a sh*tload of them in the USA. They have a whole town to themselves in South Carolina called Murphy Village. They are as bad if not worse than gypsies. They are thieves and scammers and bad, bad news. They travel around the USA scamming and burglarizing homes all over the USA. They live in luxurious houses although they have no real jobs. I doubt they even pay taxes.

They often show up in small towns offering "home improvements" like coating your driveway with used engine oil to "seal it". While they are at the front door giving their spiel, another is sneaking in your back door to steal your purse or checkbook. They are evil through and through. If anyone with an Irish brogue shows up at your door offering home improvements, call the cops right away.

Several years ago, UMass hired as police chief a 4 foot 10 inch black lesbian. It did not work out well for anybody.

Maybe she’ll learn her lesson about trying to befriend these people.

Which reminds me. My late father in law was an old school European mechanical engineer as well as a journeyman blacksmith. Had forearms like Popeye. One time when he was in his late 70’s/early 80’s he discovered two women roaming in his house. Grabbed one by both wrists who was not going anywhere with those two vices on her wrists. However, the other one lifted her skirt to reveal her commandoness. Distracted him for that split second where he relaxed his grip enough so that the woman broke free and they both split. Police report but no follow-up.

That’s what troubles me about democrats in general.

No, she is required to buy and put a tiny house on sale instead of her big house—which she needs to give to them.

Those thieves should have been publicly hanged decades ago.

My thoughts exactly. Hire a couple Hell’s Angels to pay them a visit.

What’s her problem? Sounds like she is denying religious asylum to the invaders. The irony of this story speaks for itself.
