How do short-term squatters have the same rights as the homeowner? Are things really that screwed up out there?
How to drug dealers (and that quantity gets classified as intent to deliver) get released and to go back and “get more stuff”?
Black robed judicial tyrants gave them those rights.
My understanding is, that you can use deadly force if necessary to defend a dwelling. The people watching out for the property for the rightful owner would probably do well to come back armed and forcibly remove them, with some sort of written authorization from the owners. They can call the cops if they dare.
