Vigilantes As A Form Of Law Enforcement

Churchill did nothing to protect American ships at port in England. We had been providing armaments via the Lend/Lease program. My father served 3 years in England then in Europe. Churchill wanted us to take huge casualties so as to get us involved directly, for the RAF had become shredded and was rapidly coming to the point of uselessness.

Maybe we should NOT have helped. I think it would have been better had we stayed out of the war and concentrated on building a full force of nuclear weapons, plus built back our Navy (our Navy we'd stupidly let fall into dire disrepair, lack of war preparation leads to war). Hitler would have won of course, however we could have then laid waste to all German cities and German armies. We could have wiped them out as a people even as they had wiped out the Jewish people.

Seeing as how Britain is now going socialist, America's loss of hundreds of thousands of soldiers went to naught. There is also the matter of Britain today allowing the immigration of aggressive vandals and pillagers of every ilk through its own front doors. No German invasion required.

A populace turning into sheeple is as applicable a discussion during "peacetime" even as during war.

Over the past 300 years or so, those people of Europe and those living on islands just off Europe who disfavored being serfs moved to America (there's no place to hide in Europe or England). When England continued to meddle, we fought them off with help from the French Navy. Thank you France for your military aid during our revolution and a big thank you to the French Resistance during WWII; your men and women saved a whole bunch of our guys lives (incl. my dad and his brother).

 

Damn, Lonewolf, Seriously have they told you that kind of lies about WW2. My Uncle was there before Pearl Harbor flying in a Canadian military group. He returned in an American group in late 1942 or early 1943 and was there until the bitter end. He was one of the first allied piolets to fly over Berlin. He piloted a stripped down P-38 Lightning with the only gun a 45 on his hip. He took the pictures that allowed the first major bombing of Berlin. The bombardiers used the pictures to pick out their targets.

It is sad to me that your own history has told you such outright lies. Read and learn...

"Could America's squatting crisis spill over into bloody violence? Cases surge by A THIRD in worst hit cities as homeowners turn to vigilantes to turf out armed occupiers "

America's squatting crisis is at boiling point.

Each week, shocking tales emerge of helpless families booted out of their homes by scrounging crooks.

Entire communities in Los Angeles and Atlanta have been ravaged by criminals turning homes into strip clubs and hosting all night raves, while residents of Texas and Colorado are being tormented by a serial squatter who is running rings around the police.

Emboldened by weak law enforcement, their unruly behavior becomes more brazen by the day.

Throw in a housing crisis, a Covid court backlog and a broken legal system and the result is a surge in unwelcome, aggressive, machine-gun toting guests whom property owners are powerless to evict.

Left with no alternative, desperate families are turning to vigilantes who pledge to confront the squatters head on.

Flash Shelton, from San Fernando Valley, California, has seen a huge rise in demand for his services as a 'squatter hunter', which include offers to remove illegal tenants personally.

Flash, whose day job is as a handyman, first took on a squatter in 2019 when he needed to remove a woman who broke into his late mother's home.

Since then, his snappy YouTube videos, in which he films himself 'out-squatting' the squatters, have garnered millions of views.

His preferred method is a 'lock out'. This involves getting the landlord to draw up a lease making him the tenant, allowing him to enter their property legally.

He then stakes out the home for several days, learning the habits of the squatter through surveillance and interviews with neighbors.

When their guard is down, or if they have temporarily left the property, he takes his chance, bundling inside and changing the locks.

Atlanta attorney David Metzger says he has seen an 'explosion' of squatting cases in the last year.

The Georgia city is at the epicenter of the crisis, with 1,200 homes currently illegally occupied, according to data from the National Rental Home Council.

Unlawful occupants have reportedly brandished weapons and threatened neighbors, including children.

But Atlanta is by no means alone.

Orange County, Florida, currently has 125 squatting cases on its hands, according to the NHRC, which added that larger homes are increasingly being targeted.

The most commonly captured properties have three to four bedrooms and two bathrooms, as squatters begin to realize there is nothing stopping them living in luxury on the landlord's dime.

Dallas is the second biggest hotspot, with an estimated 475 homes taken over by squatters.

Local attorney Craig Novak says he has seen cases surge by around a third in the last year, driven by a rise in what he calls 'professional tenants' - those who 'make their living off landlords'.

It's no surprise, then, that law-abiding citizens are taking matters into their own hands.

Flash Shelton, from San Fernando Valley, California, has seen a huge rise in demand for his services as a 'squatter hunter', which include offers to remove illegal tenants personally.

Flash, whose day job is as a handyman, first took on a squatter in 2019 when he needed to remove a woman who broke into his late mother's home.

In the last year, he has carried out hundreds of Zoom consultations, where he talks homeowners through potential strategies to rid themselves of their unwanted guests.

If they want him to do the job himself, the minimum cost is around $5,000.

A trifling sum compared to the months of lost rent, legal fees, and property damage that clients would otherwise face.

Legal experts have advised against using 'squatter hunters', claiming it 'sets a stage for violence' - although Flash says he has de-escalation training from his days as a bouncer.
