The Dutch-language AT5 reports, August 19, 2019, that returning from vacation last week, Salih Ozcan, a businessman in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, got a big surprise.
First, he found piles of garbage in front of his business property in Westpoort, a borough of Amsterdam.
Inside was an even worse surprise.
Some 40 “migrants” of We Are Here — a group of failed or refused asylum seekers — were squatting inside the property that Ozcan intends for his car company. He had first rented out the space, but “a bad tenant” used it for growing weed. After he evicted the tenant, he had the building refurbished.
When Ozcan tried to enter his property, one of the migrants blocked his entrance, told him to leave the premises, and threatened to call the police.
Ozcan exclaimed incredulously: “Do I have to leave my own building ?!”
A bewildered Ozcan told AT5: “I am a small entrepreneur who uses this property for his business. Because of them, I now don’t have a business. It’s a very bad feeling. I have no words for it at all. I can understand those people somewhat, but they don’t understand me at all. Unbelievable that this is possible in the Netherlands.”
Referring to the piles of trash outside, Ozcan said: “This is too crazy for words. Only rats and mice come here.”
The police said the squatters would not be evacuated “as a matter of urgency” and that on average, a property owner has to wait six weeks to evict.
Ozcan meanwhile has hired a lawyer.
The logical consequence of the liberal approach to social engineering is that non-citizens end up with privileges that citizens don’t have. To call that a social inversion is to put it mildly. How anyone could call it the basis of a stable society is quite beyond me.
Sounds like the “justice system” in our big democrat cities.
One of the consequences is that responsible taxpayers no longer want to own property.
Then the city wonders why buildings are vacant and its tax coffers are empty.
Hello!
Make sure the insurance payments are up to date. Then a big fire somehow happens, especially in that trash pile out front. New construction, vermin removed.
Id probably have a trusted relative stay if I wanted to go away for a month.
Seem to remember similar stories here in the US back during the real estate melt down and foreclosure epidemic.
“Evict?! These people are trespassing. Thought you had to occupy a place leagally to be evicted. wow”
Sounds like a home invasion to me. Hereabouts home invaders may be shot.
Go out a buy some hogs, then let them loose in there...........
Unfortunate, that they squatted right before the pressure washing crew was scheduled to steam clean the entire building, inside and out. I’d get them out, one way or another.
Huh?
The Bear Jew from Inglourious Basterds, after he whacked a Nazi in the head with a baseball bat.
In Holland during the 70’s it was very difficult to remove squatters. the youts called them “Crack Houses” and they would trash them out then move on to another one.
I wonder if it has a sprinkler system?..........
Keep voting democrat and we can bring this experience to the U.S.
Yours is probably the best solution suggested, given the legal circumstances there. You could arrange for a farmer to "accidentally" let his swine loose at the property in question.
A dozen or so would do the trick................
It already happens here..................
I have thought of that line and scene from the movie “Doctor Zhivago” often, as socialism raises it’s ugly head.
Hawaii. Big island. There are places for sale there cheap. Absentee owners are taking a chance when they leave for any length of time. One place at 375 Ohai Street was burned up TWICE by squatters. Beautiful place at one time. Some listings warn potential buyers the squatters may be armed.
That makes Somalia look like an attractive option for investing.
