DECATUR, Ga. — The saga continues at a DeKalb County home where squatters are still planning a summer pool party -- even after a key figure was reportedly taken into custody and police increased patrols in the area.

Just days after their father passed away, a metro Atlanta family says strangers moved into his DeKalb County home without permission and began throwing parties.

Four siblings—Lisa, Kevin, Marcus, and Marlene—say they grew up in the home, which makes it even more painful to see how it's being treated now. The squatters have posted videos from inside the house and are now selling tickets to a pool party scheduled for Saturday.

selling tickets? The article says these squatters might be out of the house in a couple of days, but that's because of the media attention to the case,

Seems to me when that happens the owner should pull a gun on them and call the police and report a break-in and have them arrested ... and if one or two of them get shot ... self-defense.

Blame this on DeKalb County government in general and DeKalb DA Sherry Boston in particular. This would not happen in my county, our Sheriff has assured us. And I believe him. We arrest criminals, prosecute them, and incarcerate them for long time periods around here. And the criminals know it, the crime rate is low.

I have to tell you Gwinnett County which is right next door and where we live isn’t much better.

No need, your instincts are correct.

Yes, I understand Gwinnett has really gone downhill over the last 5-6 years.

Last year we were talking to old friends at an event who were about to move from Statesboro area to NE ATL. I told them in no uncertain terms to NOT move to N. Fulton or Gwinnett (which were in the area under consideration), but to go a tad north and make sure they bought in either Hall or Forsyth. The job opportunity causing the move was in Duluth or similar, so that would not be a problem.

I should follow up and see what they did.

That was good advice. We are planning to move to our acreage in Habersham county just north of Hall county. Metro Atlanta is becoming unlivable.

We bailed out 2 years ago. Maybe not far enough, we’ll see in about 10 years.

Wife and I are away for a few weeks. Last thing in the car was my 870. She asked why and I told her never don’t underestimate what you find at home when we get back. My 40 is ok but I want no problems.
