Acorn Breaks into Home

Some community activists could face criminal charges after breaking into a home in Southeast Baltimore.

Police were at the home Thursday night looking for fingerprints and other evidence.

The activists who staged the break-in belong to the Association of Community Organizations For Reform Now or ACORN.

After snapping a lock with bolt cutters, ACORN member Louis Beverly told supporters "this is our house now."

ACORN staged the demonstration to protest the foreclosure crisis sweeping the nation.

The home in the 300 block of Ellwood Avenue used to be owned by Donna Hanks. She lost this home in September, after owning it since 2001. When things got tough she struggled to make her payments. Her mortgage? $1995 a month. Her income? $2200. Donna's story is one that ACORN is taking a stand against.

ACORN - when you absolutely positively need someone with less ability and intellect than you’ve got.

“ACORN says that they will move Donna Hanks back in despite the fact that she no longer owns the house. During the taping of this story a man by the name of William Lane told ABC2 News that he owns the house currently—and plans to sue Acorn.”

Unbelievable!! Obama is promoting this breakdown in civil society.

This had to be an adjustable rate mortgage that went up. Only a lunatic would pay $1995/mo on a $2200 income.

A clue: They all wore brown shirts.

The problem now is that ACORN will have lots of money for lawyers.

I hope he sues the pants off of them. My only concern is that with his name in print, he'll end up getting harassed.

Absolutely he is. Then he can manufacture an incident to declare maritial law, a/l/a “Reichstagg “ fire.

They are following the Socialists playbook line by line and page by page.

Once their power is consolidated then they will turn on the members of the media that is currently aidinfg and abetting them. Along with kissing their asses.

When it hits the fan the communists will be SOL.

Their only targets will be their fellow travelers.

Anti-I don't know if it really has anything to do with lunatics. Well...with ACORN lunatics, yeah.

Under klinton and continuing on with cris dodd and barney the child porker frank, both on house and senate side of banking committees...fannie mae and freddie mac were ordered to give out undeserved loans and WORSE ACORN was used to put pressure on bankers....ACORN members were used to GO TO BANKERS very HOMES and threaten them if they refused to give out home loans to those who could not POSSIBLY pay them back.

It has been going on for years....and Bush TRIED to get barney and chris to pay attention and reform this horror...but the liberals kept pushing it....and they HAD TO KNOW that it would cause a housing crash...they HAD TO KNOW THIS...unless they are completely stupid.

I HATE that bankers were threatened....at their HOMES.

And I HATE that my taxes, according to the stimulus package...are contributing to the continuance of ACORN.....
