Brooklyn home 'liberated' by 'Occupy' protesters; cops hang back

The operation to occupy a vacant foreclosed home in Brooklyn on behalf of a homeless family from New York City appears to be a success. The front door of the two-story brick house on Vermont Street apparently was unlocked when the marchers arrived.

Alfredo Carrasquillo, the father of the homeless family, thanked the marchers for at least temporarily providing them with a home.

****

Police who escorted the marchers through Brooklyn stopped when the marchers arrived at the home and remained a distance away as the celebration of the “liberation” of the foreclosed home began. A brass band played, people danced and food was passed around as the cleanup crew got down to business.

So if I break into someone else’s home and set up shop, police will hang back? SWEET!! Palm Beach here I come!!

[Gasshog]

Police “hang back” as trespassers establish squatter’s right at foreclosed home.

Bat sh!t Crazy!

What Next.

It’s gotten so out of hand that soon the “occupiers” will try to occupy already Occupied homes. No wonder Black Friday had good gun sales...........for protection.....

[Truth29]

More and more, Bloomberg has to be compelled to protect the lawful citizens and property. Nothing like providing a police escort for the barbarians within the gates.

Good! Now it’s time to start paying taxes.

[SaraJohnson]

No, not you. You will get arrested. Just Obmamaspeople.

1600 Penn Ave will be vacant the last half of December. Perhaps OWS should send a homeless family to live there.

[ladyvet]

According to the article this family has been living in shelters for ten years! And yes that is mom on her cell phone.

“The operation...appears to be a success.” This woman is not a serious journalist but rather a slut.

[hal ogen]

Maybe these fools live (roam...since they are "homeless") in Maryland, THE Freak state where the "unfortunate are given free cell phones and 150 minutes per month. They are referred to as "Liberty Phones" or some other liberal-language BS.

It’s gotten so out of hand that soon the “occupiers” will try to occupy already Occupied homes.

If law enforcement continues to stand by while the Occupy thugs steal the property of others, the next step will be to "occupy" the property of Americans they feeeeeel have too much house, or too much land, or too many cars.

He'll ban salt shakers from the table and forbid the use of transfats in food, but defend private property? Nah.

Here’s how it works at my place: home invaders will be shot.

NY state Governor Andrew Cuomo promised he would not raise taxes during his campaign

Guess what!

He is raising NY state income taxes!

In one part of NY state they are now raising property taxes by...

30%

!!!

That should keep all the NY liberals happy!

Somebody has to pay -

It’s only fair... in Obamaville

It is heartening to read the comments to the article at the link.

Probably >90% are strongly against this. Even at a lib publication like US News, they recognize how wrong this is.

Of course there are a few comments that are from the clueless

[”occupy” the property of Americans they feeeeeel have too much house, or too much land, or too many cars. ]

Exactly, that was my meaning too. I know of a nice red brick home in Chicago with a large side yard. It should be sitting empty since Bozo’s occupying the White House!

[potlatch]

[they are now raising property taxes by...30%]

Hope it’s an all Liberal area. Should they want to move, who will buy there? I remember about Rush leaving New York because of taxes.

[Lurker]

Here’s one of lifes little warning signals.

[LostInBayport]

Now THAT would be hilarious!
