    the banks will evict a home owner for non payment ,but leave a squatter in the home, that is truly fucked up
  • @joanpalko8389
    This is absurd! Squatters deserve no rights. Who the hell ever dreamed up this law and how is it still in effect?
  • @dostagirl9551
    This is crazy. So basically the news reporters managed to inadvertently get him out of the house with the assault charge and probation violation while the banks sat in their hands. Meanwhile, had he been a mortgage holder who lost his job, they would have had law enforcement at the door in 60 days or less. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Ironically, if the squatter had taken care of the property and kept a low profile he could have lived there indefinitely and no one would have been the wiser.
  • The previous owner be watching this video and saying “Damn, I could’ve circled the block and moved right back in for free”.
  • @shanatinnin339
    The bank should let the original homeowner stay in it until they’re ready to do something with it. It’s pathetic to know someone probably worked their butts off for years trying to own a home, then to lose it and some freeloading hoodlums move in free of charge. That’s disgusting.

    Bank or not, how the hell do you forget you own a 200 or $300k property? That's the story I want to hear. If I'm short $5 I'm asking questions.

    No squatters rights, yet there he is, squatting and no one is able to force him out. Hmmm.
  • Why is it so unbelievably hard for courts to tell the difference between illegal squatting and tenants getting screwed over? Pathetic.

    “This guy’s getting law from the internet. Google, Google, and Google is his lawyer, and he’s just wrong.” Not gonna lie, that made me chuckle.
  • Why didn't the news crew press charges? He came at them with an ax. That's assault with a deadly weapon.
  • @gs-xx8uv
    He should not only be thrown out immediately, but he should be liable for two years worth of fair market rent as well as any damages to the home.
  • @swinde
    I would think threatening the reporter with an ax is grounds for his arrest. Alter all he is not on his own property.
  • @Buckaroo543
    It's ABSOLUTELY disgusting that squatters can't be removed, forcibly if necessary, from property they don't own.
  • That's theft and trespassing, simple. How is this even an issue? The guy should be immediately arrested.
  • @kellenfurter
    I love how they were willing, able and in a hurry- I'm sure- to evict the people who paid on the house for years, probably. But, let a squatter get in there and it's yoo much trouble to evict a criminal who will definitely damage the house.
