This whole squatting thing is outrageous. Infuriating. Obscene. Vulgar. It’s an affront to democracy, civil rights, and the rule of law. It is unconstitutional in the opinion of most people (jmo). Wrong on every level. I am shocked that more dispossessed homeowners aren't arming themselves and putting and end to it (although I am not endorsing that solution)
“Squatters” are nothing but thieves imo, so “squatters rights” means “thieves’ rights”. To most people, the value/equity they have in their homes/properties represents most of their net worth. How can the grand theft of somebody’s entire life’s savings/net worth not only not be prosecuted, but defended?! Who made up these laws?!
If there are squatters / thieves’ rights (after 30 days) for dwellings, how come there aren’t “jacker’s rights” for car thieves who have avoided being caught for 30 days? How ‘bout for serial rapists? Should their crimes fade away and not be prosecutable if they haven’t been arrested in the first 30 days? What is going on?!
Squatters rights don’t need to be reduced, they need to be eliminated. Entirely. What is wrong with this world? No, you can’t just move in! No you can’t just steal somebody’s home!! Why does this even need to be pointed out to some people, lawmakers and thieves? It boggles the mind
This is a horribly tragic situation for Nadia Vitels and her family and friends. A sweet lady by all accounts; beaten to death in her own home and stuffed in a duffel bag. They left in her vehicle. RIP Nadia Vitels
Imo Nadia’s blood is on the hands of the legislators who wrote and passed the delusional, misguided, illogical, and immoral “squatter’s rights” legislation. They are facilitating violent encounters and creating victims where there would otherwise be none. Imo these legislators should first be required to go to Nadia’s funeral. And then they should have to defend themselves in a civil suit brought by Nadia’s family.
All jmo
