Imagine unironically linking fox newsImagine being this salty over a news link. I even provided a second link to give people multiple sources.
Get the fuck out
Fox News is good at stirring up outrage over minuscule issues that affect hardly anyone.Just because they like to spin in a circle and throw darts all over the place doesn't mean they don't occasionally hit a bullseye. Fuck squatters would be one of those bullseyes.
Topic title is celebrating a victory over the impoverished. Did you expect anything other than Fox News?

Always wondered about the squatter problem, assumed it was just renting issues, but laws actually protected people who, without permission, just took up shop in someone's property? That's kinda nuts.
As someone who was homeless, I can understand desperately wanting a place to stay.. but that sure as hell isn't the way to go about it. Damn.
Also its a somewhat frequent thing with short term rentals like Airbnb where people book for weeks and never leave, cause now the time they spent in the house qualifies them for squatter rights.

Squatters are doing the lords work in such scenarios.

Having shit tier politics is not an excuse for linking to Fox News.Wtf are y'all even on about?
It's a bit more complicated then that. Squatter laws exist so that land not being used doesn't just sit around unused. Someone who owned land stops using it and it never gets sold for someone else to use or ownership document has been lost to time.
Wtf are y'all even on about?Apparently there's at least 3 people here who don't agree with there being personal property rights. I invite them all to share with us just how they're personally helping solve the issue beyond selflessly volunteering other people's property. Go on. Wow me.
"Fuck squatters" is shit tier politics?
Castle laws should apply to squatters.Castle laws? Care to explain? Honest question here.
Castle laws? Care to explain? Honest question here.pretty sure he means people should be able to kill squatters
Castle laws? Care to explain? Honest question here.Castle laws are laws that allow for the use of lethal force in the defence of one's home in some (mostly) US states without any further requirements like an immediate threat to life/safety.
Castle laws? Care to explain? Honest question here.The common law principle of castle doctrine says that individuals have the right to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to protect themselves against an intruder in their home. This principle has been codified and expanded by state legislatures.

In New York, you have the right to protect yourself - and your home.
One of the more defining parts of New Yorks castle doctrine law is the duty to retreat. This means if a person sees someone in their yard or on their property who is perceived to be a threat, the person has a duty to retreat first if they can do so safely. However, if a person is inside of their home, that does not apply.
"If you're just in the yard or something like that, you can't use lethal force," said former prosecutor Brian DeCarolis. "You can use non-lethal force to theoretically scare them away."
This concept differs from state to state with 'Stand Your Ground' laws. This means there is no 'duty to retreat' before the use of deadly force. The defense of a business using deadly force is authorized in certain cases.
"If they're actively burglarizing your business, the law does give you in New York the ability to use deadly physical force in that situation," DeCarolis said.

Thats a lil messed up if he was recommending that should be applied to squatters. Like I don't like them either but I don't want them to die. holy shit.
Wow. Thats a lil messed up if he was recommending that should be applied to squatters. Like I don't like them either but I don't want them to die. holy shit.Yeah, I'd agree. While I'm not in favor of squatters by any means, they should be arrested, not shot.
Yeah, I'd agree. While I'm not in favor of squatters by any means, they should be arrested, not shot.Good points brought up.
On the flip side we ALSO need laws that clamp down majorly on landlords, but that doesn't mean squatters are not also a problem. It just means we have two problems.
