A homeowner stopped by to check on his suburban Atlanta property — only to be arrested for trespassing.

Days after the departure of a previous tenant, Tim Arko pulled into the driveway of his house in desirable Decatur, where he suddenly encountered a stranger waving a gun in his face.

“I just jumped the fence and ran. I didn’t know what else to do,” Arko told local channel WSB-TV.

“I didn’t walk in on a family eating dinner. I walked in on weapons, a prostitute, a bunch of dogs in the back, my fence broken down,” he told a reporter.

After dialing 911 to report the intrusion, Arko was astonished to find himself being arrested and taken into police custody.

“They told the police that I was a home invader and that it was their home. And so I ended up being arrested and detained,” Arko said.

Since then, Arko has been fighting to evict the alleged squatters in court.

Six months later, they are still living in Arko’s home.

Two people have died in the residence from overdoses during that time.

Code enforcement has even cited Arko for not properly maintaining the house he legally can’t access.

After lengthy court delays, an eviction order was finally signed.

In Biden's America, there is only one "right" thing to say when you come home to discover that a group of thugs has taken over your property:

"Welcome!"

What part of she has a title and they don't?

They don't have a lease and she didn't make one?

Makes any question at all of why they should be thrown out on the street?

What world is this?

>The idea that these are random events is questionable.<

Yes, how did the squatters know the house was unoccupied?..........................

The first time I heard about anything like this was in Portland, OR 10 years ago.
One of my best friends lost her home to squatters from India and law enforcement was powerless.

This has been going on for at least 10 years in Blue States.

And the DemocRATS you speak of are usually nameless, faceless critters of course eating out of the public trough.

“Since then, Arko has been fighting to evict the alleged squatters in court.”

That’s the first mistake. Don’t call your lawyer, don’t call the cops. Go to the local outlaw biker bar and tell them “I’ve got $1000 cash if you can get these people off my property long enough for me to change the locks”.

It has happened in Florida as well. .............

RE: Anyone want to guess the color of the squatters and the color of the police officers....

Squatters were all Inuit (They emerged from the earlier Thule people, and are related to the Aleut people.)

Officers were all Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone (who represent 0.2 percent of the total US population.)

Do I win anything?

I am for shooting trespassers/squatters m. Had it happen to me and I had to evict rather than have these parasites arrested.

Doesn’t that sound like a talking blues country song?

The great Van Morrison song This Has Got To Stop

This has got to stop, I just had enough
I’m gonna call your bluff, walk you one more lap

Well I came back home and I burnt our house down
I watched it crumble to the ground

Oh it caved in like a piece of balsa wood
I turned to you and said baby, this is just no good

And I worked and I tried to build it all back up again
The day that you told me that you had really changed

Then you knocked down all my castles in the sand
Then I said baby, I know now just where we stand

This has got to stop, you’re way over the top

Good idea. I think I’d rather do business with a 1% Motorcycle Club than with MS-13, though.
