Outrage as homeowner is jailed after calling cops on squatter.. and is told to 'think about it from their point of view'

72. It's BS to say the Democratic Party has "gone away from common sense"

The Reich-wing and the media over-sensationalize a problem and you end up with Americans that have NEVER been a landlord, believing that they are one break-in during their Christmas vacation from some malcontent stealing their home by moving into it.

That happens about as often as getting struck by lightning while being eaten by a shark.

I want to know, out of 350,000,000 people in America, how many have had their property taken away by a squatter.

And yes, it sucks and is difficult to have to evict someone that doesn't pay the rent, but when I had rental property, I knew that was a risk I was taking.

There is a reason that we have laws regarding evictions, and why it's not easy. You know what else is not easy? Convicting someone of murder.

Everybody want convictions and evictions to be "easy", up until it is themselves that is facing conviction or eviction.

Overhyping and sensationalizing this issue is a concerted effort to scare people. Scared people are the Retrumplican Parties most coveted demographic.

I am NOT pro-squatting, I just don't want to play the fearmongers stupid games.

But here is what irritates me the most about this.

80-90% of the people outraged about this, are one lost job, or one major medical bill, away from missing their mortgage, or their rent.

But don't you dare call them "squatters", because they're just "hard working 'Murikans that caught a bad break"...it's those others that are "lazy scum".
