Y’know, maybe my thinking’s become twisted by this through-the-looking-glass world we’re living in, but if I were the owner of record of one of these squatted-in homes, I’d be worrying about what kind of liability some judge would level against me if someone or something got hurt or damaged while squatting in my property. You can’t tell me there wouldn’t be some lawyer out there who’d be willing to try to make a case of it, if they thought my pockets were deep enough!
They’d go after the banks. Just the other day we had a ne’er do well purposely drop soda on the floor of a mall and “slip” on it.
Some of the state funded law firms would go after you even if you had no money. As long as there is an entitled person willing to fight for anything, the bleeding billable hours will continue. (unless, of course, the Republicans have the balls to stop the funding for the “free” welfare lawyers))
