U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Sam Burbank, who'd recently returned from his third tour in Iraq, was shocked Tuesday to learn that while his family was living at Fort Hood, two squatters had moved into his Liberty County home and were selling his possessions at a garage sale.
"It devastated us," said his wife, Hollie Burbank. "We got married in that house. It's been in my family for three generations."
Liberty County sheriff's spokesman Capt. Rex Evans, a veteran himself, was upset that anyone would exploit a soldier and his family who were already making personal sacrifices to protect this country's freedoms.
Burbank had the dangerous job of searching areas for improvised explosive devices while on tour.
The squatters were identified as two parolees from Cleveland: Faylisa Danielle Bailey, 30, who has had multiple convictions for theft, forgery and credit card abuse, and Johnny Wayne Bell, 47, who has numerous drug convictions.
Evans said both are in jail after their paroles on some drug charges were revoked. They now face new charges of possession of controlled substances and more are expected.

Toxicity
Nerium oleander has historically been considered a poisonous plant based on a number of its compounds that may exhibit toxicity, especially to animals, when consumed in high amounts. Among these compounds are oleandrin and oleandrigenin, known as “cardiac glycosides” which are known to have a narrow therapeutic index and can be toxic when ingested.
seems we were taught not to use this for cooking hot dogs or marshmallows.

Yup.
It is a pretty plant.
Pretty TOXIC!
Yes.
Just my opinion, but what the hell do I know?
I remember not too long ago, that you didn’t need to lock your doors, even if you were gone for weeks, in this country.
The question is, why have we allowed people to disrespect private property so? Could it be that we are indoctrinating people into communism in our school system, and the fact that the lack of belief or understanding of private property is our fault because we do not do our duty as citizens of a free country? Are we lazy? Have we decided that its too much trouble to withstand the communist influence?
A fresh audacity of criminal bumliness.
I believe liberals are calling for eased pressures on wicked men in the illusion that they will easily forsake their wickedness just because of changed circumstances. The wicked men already were there, but feared more to carry out their worst plans in the past.
I think you mean a corral, not coral.
Instead of a horse thief, he was a horse bum. I would have tried to find a way to accept the “gift” horses and sell them!
Four things to say
- I feared for my life
- I will press charges
- Here’s the evidence (point out stuff that rolled behind things)
- I need to get my lawyer
Castle Doctrine should apply here...
First, give thes two losers a good caning in the style of Michael Faye of Indonesia fame. (Give them 10 so they’ll remember 5). Then let the Marines use them for training purposes. Repeat daily.
I don’t think MOST Americans believe their things are safe.
What has happened is the schools and society and politicians have created an entire generation that believes they deserve whatever they want. They believe if you’re not using it, they should be able to take it.
I can understand her wanting to be in Ft. Hood for support or whatever. What I don’t understand is family, friends or townsfolk not noticing someone moving into these peoples’ home. This happened in a small community. The local police should have noticed.
These two parasites had already served notice on society that they did not have any intention of living by its rules. They should be promptly executed.
Darn.. I thought the three things to remember are No witnesses, No evidence, it didn’t happen. Are the left moonbats really going to make us do the rough and ready duties?
A lot of it in Texas is because of THIS Alinskyite duckweed: Check out this link: Scum Sucking Liberal A-Hole gets hoisted on his own petard as he is evicted from property he "legally" stole...
It is all related, I am willing to bet, to the common law of adverse possession, which this guy is making a living encouraging people to exploit.
There have been a rash of these things in Texas, people going away on two week trips to come home and find their house occupied, things like that.
