A newly elected state assemblyman from Rochester says he’s been arrested after trying to video Rochester city police evict a public school teacher and her children from their home.

“That is absolutely inhumane,” Assemblyman Demond Meeks said of the eviction on a sub-freezing night.

Meeks, who was elected last month and sworn into office in mid-November, said he went by the home in Corn Hill after hearing that police were planning the eviction.

The backstory is:

1. the Tenant is employed as a public school teacher and has never lost employment

2. the Tenant stopped paying rent in June of 2019

3. the leftist judge ordered the landlord to forego a year's rent starting in June 2019 on the condition that she be out by October 2020.

4. the Tenant did NOT vacate as promised in October

5. seems the leftist judge did a "set up the police" moment and purposely ordered anyone protesting the eviction to be arrested (which is very unlikely seeing this judge is anti-police and anti-landlord)

I’m just amazed anyone moved against a public employee in NY State.

NY State has turned into the former East Germany, and government employees in NY are like Communist Party apparatchiks.

Nothing changes till the money runs out. USSR ran out of money. When do we?

Well, to fix this you have to fix the core problem that caused it: The lockdown.

And just wait until 2021. We ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Let me guess: More black “victimization”. She’s getting paid no matter what even though schools have been closed all year, but yep, she’s still a victim and the evil white racist cops attack her for “no reason”.

Bankruptcy happens slowly, and then suddenly all at once. Also like the former East Germany, upstate NY's politics and economic fate are decided in places far away. Look to Manhattan, and Washington DC.

Then I have no sympathy for her whatsoever.

This is what you get when a SEIU labor organizer is elected to public office.

My nephew has several nice, moderately priced rental properties in nice ares of Harris County, Texas. He can’t get most of his renters to pay, and the courts are flouting the laws in favor of the renters, who still have jobs.

No eviction, just relocate her, to a new apartment at the Gray-bar Hotel!

Shame on the Landlord. I was a landlord from the time I was 26 and finally had enough at 60.

It is a business. But you work with your tenants, it is a relationship. Landlords need tenants. If they say, "I don't have the rent." It's a different matter if they say they have all but $20 and the rest will be paid on Friday, than if they say they don't have any of it.

In the latter case, eviction starts the next day.

I was able to get a tenant out in 26 days. That was the minimum that the court would allow. But times have changed.

Times definitely have changed. Especially after the new rules went into effect July 2019 (the tenant probably knew of this up and coming change as well)

Sorry about the long URL.

Conversely, in two years, counties around the nation will not hesitate to evict those same landlords who can’t catch up with paying delinquent 2019/2020 property taxes.

She had a paying job, quit paying rent, ignored the court orders, has never not had a paying job during the entire time. What is her excuse?

That same story can be recorded about 50,000 times over—in every single state in the UNION.

People who did collect unemployment-—about 2/3 —3/4 of their paycheck PLUS $600 weekly—regardless of their unemployment earnings, didn’t pay their bills. Were NOT commuting—Were not having to buy lunches ‘at work’-— were not having to keep up a wardrobe suitable for work-—all the other costs of going to work 40 hours a week.

They were getting-—IN MANY CASES-—MORE funds into the household than they got when working full time.

They squandered those funds. And-—NOW-—they want a free pass on their bills & rent, etc.

NOT in MY WORLD.

NO sympathy for this woman . She has a contract-—for rent to begin with & 2nd a new contract to vacate.

JUDGE JUDY would roast this woman....
