Oregon man part of radical left-wing antifascist group sues his grandmother over rent disagreement
The Post Millennial ^ | 26th April 2020 | Roberto Wakerell-Cruz

Austin Goodrich was part of an antifa group that shut down a College Republicans event at Portland State in 2019.

...

Oregon renter who refused to pay rent and his landlord who tracked his coronavirus stimulus check went viral.

....

A lawsuit was filed on Wednesday, April 22 by tenant Austin Goodrich, 22, of Forest Grove, Ore., nearby Portland, against his property manager and landlord. The lawsuit seeks damages for Goodrich “feeling overwhelmingly violated and vulnerable.” When the story first made national and international headlines, reporters and Goodrich did not disclose that the landlord, Lois Ranstead, is also his grandmother and tax preparer.

In a subsequent statement to Portland alternative paper, Portland Mercury, Goodrich said: "I do not have a relationship with my father's side of the family," though he did confirm that his landlord was indeed his "father's mother."

....

Goodrich received the $1,200 check on April 15, and along with the check, received an alleged text from his grandmother stating: "You got your stimulus, just asking are you going to pay rent or part of rent with any. I am trying to close out the books for April."

....

Austin’s grandmother was given an ultimatum by her grandson: waive the rent for the remainder of the leave, or to forgive Austin’s past debts.

...

Goodrich is a prominent member of Cascadian Resistance, a left-wing anti-government, anti-capitalist separatist group. It agitates for an anarchist communist region carved out of the Pacific Northwest where its members capture “local resources and means of productions” in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. The group took down its website after The Post Millennial editor-at-large Andy Ngo reported on the group’s extremist ideology.

...

at a Portland antifa protest shouting into a bullhorn: “Communism will win.”

OT, but I know a gal who got sued by her son for throwing out his old toys after he’d grown up and moved away from home

He won and she had to pay him

Grandma, nothing personal, but the masks on my Antifa pals here are not to protect them from a virus. You are going to get the hell kicked out of you. One last chance about that rent thing.

So many mothers are guilty of throwing away the rare comic books and baseball cards that took up room. Could have paid for two years of college.

Honesty rarely pays. It should have went like this:

Adult son: Ma, where are my toys?
Mom: I have no idea where you left them. Look in your bedroom closet.

I’d love to have my old toys; they’d probably be worth something to collectors. Never occurred to me to sue my mother about it, though, and now it’s too late. Dang.

I knew a guy who sued his mother, and stepfather for his inheritance when they were only in their sixties. His action caused the stepfather to have a massive heart attack due existing heart problems, and the mother decided to die of her breast cancer rather than continue to be treated. She literally committed suicide at the loss of her husband at the hands of her son. The son did not get a penny of the inheritance.

Actions have consequences.

I would eject the little toad stool in a heartbeat. Don’t believe me? Ask my eldest son! He decided to toss the gauntlet when he was 19. Wrong move!

On the positive side of the ledger, he is now 48 years old and our relationship is 100% on an even keel. He took the long way around the barn to become a responsible man, but he got there!

Suing your grandmother?

Outrageous.

That happened to me. I moved out at 19 years of age. I had been working part-time from 16, and felt it was time to move out at 19. Came back half a year later to retrieve my stuff, but my mother had tossed it all out. I had boxes of comic books and other rare items like bubble-gum cards and Hot Wheels. Whole series of Marvel from #1, including Spiderman, FF, X-Men, Hulk, Dr. Strange, you name it I had it. Would be worth thousands of dollars now. Also had lesser ones like D.C., Archie, MAD, etc. I had only taken a couple dozen Marvel with me, now worth hundreds of dollars. Mothers can be cruel when they're pissed because their sons move out. Sigh...

The main reason those items are worth money now is all of the moms who threw out 98% of those items. If they hadn’t, all those baby boomers wouldn’t be bidding against each other to recreate their childhoods.

I wonder how many ungrateful children or grandchildren will be surprised that the grandparents spent all their money on cruises, traveling the country, attending overpriced aging but yet popular rock band concerts financed by their reverse mortgages on their homes?

Way to write yourself out of the will, Austin.
