Stop abandoning your homes to vermin if you care about them
Don’t leave them vacant to be infested
Duh
democrat party law is not on our side.
All over America this is a common theme:
Upon calling law enforcement, Shelton learned there was little police could do.
That stupid cliche “take the law into his own hands” is ahead of “he’s going to prison for a long, long time” in my pet peeve cliche list.
The system of pseudo justice allows the guilty to go free or get out of prison quickly.
After the defense gets the judge to not allow the jurors to hear the recorded incriminating speech, or hear testimony before being properly Mirandized, or learn the offender did the same crime the same way several times in the past including as detailed in sealed juvenile records, the guilty offender smirks and goes free, plotting to get the witnesses and to find fresh new victims among us.
This is exactly what people should do. The police won’t help so just kick them out and make them try to sue you instead.
In fact, this guy was nice. I would have put their stuff on the curb (kept anything I liked) and then if they break in possibly shoot them in self defense (depending on the state call the police...but I’d have to question my life choices on why I’m in such a state to begin with).
This doesn’t just happen to people who are neglegent and leave their house unattended because they are busy or lazy.
Some people are in the military and out of the country. Some are abroad on business. This is shameful that we as Americans allow this to happen.
I would not be surprised to see someone burn their squatted on home to the ground killing everyone inside.
Things are going to come to this at some point in all aspects of life.
I had considered this kind of situation, and thought about using audio exciters
https://www.daytonaudio.com/topic/excitersbuyerguide
attach one to outside of window(s) and play really random creapy stuff to make the squaters think the house was haunted, so they would not want to stay.
Screams, gunshots, breaking glass, cat fights, barking dogs, sirens sounds etc that would randomly play at a really loud volume all day and night
We’ve got local friends here in North Idaho who say they would NEVER have a rental in California. Here in Idaho, the law favors the landlords and you get rid of the deadbeats in a flash.
We had one rental house in CA 40 years ago. The tenant paid two rent checks and then stopped. He totally trash the place, stole fixtures, spa equipment, left it knee deep in filth. The water company had turned off the water but he continue to use the toilet. It took us six months to get him out through the court and sheriff system! Then, about the day the sheriff was coming to the door to evict him, he took off and was never seen again. Did we ever take a bath on that.
I’m fairly sure that if that happened here, the true owner of the property would be able to organize enough neighbors, friends and relatives to roust the squatters- I would just take my home back through force.
Nope. I just start shooting. They will exit dancing.
This is one of the reasons we have cameras all over our house. When we go out of town, sometimes just for the day, but sometimes overnight, I feel like we are at least somewhat protected, though not completely. We do have a pet sitter come while we’re gone for longer than overnight. Hopefully between the good neighbors we have, the pet sitter, and the cameras, we won’t be taken advantage of by squatters, but you never know. In today’s changing world, it seems like the criminals get all the legal breaks.
In New York, squatters are granted rights after just 30 days.
Democrats looking out for the little guy again huh.
When a friend of mine leaves town for a period I house sit or go over daily.
If I ever found someone in the house illegally they will be removed at gun point or shot.
I’ll be applauded by police.
“Upon calling law enforcement, Shelton learned there was little police could do.”
I’ll bet if he gave those squatters a butt-load of bird shot, the cops would be there to ‘do something.’
Oh, not to the SQUATTERS - to HIM! Grrrr!
Fair enough! The stipulation should be that they then could also not do anything when you take the dead bodies to the local dump.
Why have none of the squatter’s taken over Sniffer’s houses?
Red Badger, you have good stories about squatters. The solution is to put ring cameras all around inside and outside the house. Talk to the local sheriff about the cameras. And either show up or have the sheriff show up when people are tripping the cameras.
He had a good plan. I would have added a couple of Dobermans to the mix.
Cutting hardened lumber with a dull compound blade?
What? The legal owners have no fire insurance?
There shouls be a federal law that squatters and car jackers are allowed to be shot. Both know what they are taking isn’t theirs to take. I’ll wager it wouldn’t take log for either crime to become almost nonexistent.
