: Squatters in my rent house!
: RainDog September 15, 2008, 03:40:58 AM
Was just over at one of my rent houses down the block from here, and found that people have been living in it. The back door was pried open and there were signs of more than one person having crashed out on the floor.

 Half tempted to hide out in the trees 40 yards or so from the back door and launch some match pellets out of the Daisy 953 at their butts as they show up.

 Pest eradication.

 Yeah, I know. I'd probably get thrown in the clink for stingin' their *sses a little. Darn.

 Oh well, door needed replacing anyway.

Hide out in the woods and see who shows up.  Then, call the cops.  Sorry to hear about that--it sucks and I'm sure you feel violated.

: RainDog September 15, 2008, 03:48:51 AM
Oh, I'm not gonna call the cops over this. I don't get them involved in my personal matters.

 Only way I'd ever call them would be if there were some GREAT injustice done to me or mine and there was absolutely no way I could deal with it, and I was reasonably certain that the police could. In other words, pretty much never.  :p

 Plus, they didn't do any real harm. Like I said, the door needed replacing anyway. I'd run 'em off myself, but I can't really see gettin' 'em thrown in jail for trying to escape the stormy nights we've been having. Call me an easy touch.

 Sure would be fun to shoot 'em in the rear, though. Make 'em yelp. haha

I have to agree!  A good shot in the *ss might give em' the hint!  Just use and under-powered gun.  I admire your compasson given the situation.  Last winter someone was running around at night stealing gas out of people's cars(in our little town).  My girlfriends truck had its gas cap messed with and the lady across the street had woken up one night to see someone with a gas can and cyphen tube near her car.  My van wasn't touched although you can clearly see where they'd tried.

I parked down low in the bivy sack for a few nights with my Hunter Elite.  Word had spread around town about the gas thieves and they stopped before I could pop em' in the act.  I'd been fantasizing about shooting em in the ankles but never happened.

You, on the other hand- might have a little better luck!

Have fun with it- just don't put yerself in the grey-bar.

There was a story in the news a few years ago about a bowhunter taking justice into his own hands.  Anyway, when he came back from his hunt, he saw a guy trying to break into his car.  He shot a broadhead into his butt, with his thinking of only trying to cripple him until the cops showed up.  Well, the thief bled out and died, and the bowhunter went to jail for murder.  Sucks.

I would definitely use the police/sheriff. They could be homeless and mean no harm to you or your property. They may be drug users/abusers or criminals. Word could spread around that your "place is available", and more and more people may use it as a hang out etc. I don't mean to sound cruel, heartless or uncaring, but I would try to get them out ASAP. Things could go from bad to worse quickly and you don't want to be libel for anything, financially or otherwise. I would not use any type of weapon, even an underpowered pellet pistol because you could end up in jail.If you report the breaking and entering to the law, then you start a paper trail, especially for insurance and/or court proceedings.
Just my opinion.

 Pulled a metal door from the shed and hinged it up to the doorway. Turned the living room light on. That'll be enough. They'll see that someone is aware of their trespass and find some other place to crash.  This is a little Oklahoma college town and we don't have trouble with crack houses and such, or at least not around this part of town. Everything's cool. Drunk indians, probably. I know that's a stereotype, but we see it a lot around here. Since I'm on the Cherokee roles myself I can say stuff like that. haha They're harmless enough.

Had something like that happen to a run-down small motel near my workplace a few years ago. The squatters were living there for a year or so....and I think most of the neigbours knew about it. But nobody called the authorities because they were "harmless"....and the owners had abandoned the place. In the winter the squatters were pulling a small wagon and/or sled and picking up cardboard, paper, wood and whatever that could burn and use them for heat. They burnt the stuff in a metal barrel. And yep....one night they BURNT the whole motel down....... When the incident was on the news....our small business was shown on the video clip as they panned the motel fire.....our 5 seconds of fame. heh heh (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif)

Heck, I almost forgot to update y'all on this. Caught 'em last night, prowlin' around back tryin' to figure out what was goin' on with the light on in an empty house and checkin' the back door. I was out in my front yard with my son, and saw 'em veering off the street at an angle toward the rent house.

 Four of 'em. Two boys and two girls. Guess they weren't sleepin' in there after all. Guess they were doin' you-know-what.

 When I realized they were kids I ran out of the trees at 'em in the dark, wavin' my arms around and yellin' "BOOGA, BOOGA! GET OUT OF HERE!" They ain't comin' back, and I got a an excellent laugh out of it all.

 All's well that ends well,

Sorry, guy, but not every community in the United States has crack houses in it.

 If you think about it, your inability to imagine that such a place exists says more about your personal situation than it does anyone else's.

 Sure there's substance abuse, but crack? No. You couldn't catch any of these few hillbillies livin' outside of town buyin' $20 rocks when they and a friend can stay high all day for the same money on methamphetamine. Why should they invite the police by trespassing when they can be snortin' the stuff in the safety of their living rooms in front of the TV? This town is an unfriendly place for homeless street hustlers and there's no money floating around for them to hustle. They try, they're busted. The inner-city dynamic just isn't here.

 Anyway, your comment doesn't leave much doubt as to how you came into possession of said North Dakota property.

 Have a wonderful day,

 Union general during the Civil War. Torched his way through Georgia and the Carolinas. Burned Atlanta, Columbia. Gave Savannah to Lincoln as a "Christmas present".

 I like older towns. Savannah, for instance. Reminds me of New Orleans with its decadence-in-the-air feeling. Like there's been some sinnin' goin' on, y'know?

Interesting and scary that your attitude is "It can't happen here" when every law enforcement agency around tells you it can and does.

Columbine was a nice small town until "it happened here". Same with the nice quiet town where VaTech is located.  It can and does 'happen here' all too often.

Then those encouraging you to 'shoot them'. Yep, you fire and they turn and the pellet hits a soft spot and for whatever reason, they die. You are up for murder. Lying in wait and killing someone. Even if they are only wounded they complain and the sheriff nails you, a jury convicts you and you get major time in prison, lose everything and they now own it thanks to a good civil attorney.

There are consequences to actions and yours could cost you everything if you act as you post here.

Moronie,,I Think Folks were just funnin bout shootin them in the butt with a BB Gun!! Seems to me Parks lives in a place that aint so bad as your makin it out to be. Im sorry if you live in a location that has so much crime that you need to be so paranoid. Personally,,, I  miss Texas,, I may move back there soon,, I LOVE the laws they have there!! (I know Parks dont live in Texas) Im just missin the down to earth Laws of that GREAT STATE!!!!!!!!  Lets be clear,, This was not Ruby Ridge,, Colombine,,Or a Caresh incedent,,, Parks ran out of the woods & scared some teenage squatters out of HIS HOUSE. No Harm,, no foul. I know Parks,,, believe me,, he is a fine individual raising a Family & would NEVER have resorted to shooting inocent teenagers with his pellet guns. Geeeezzzeeee!! There are still mostly crime free neighborhoods Monroni,,, Promise.  Tim.

: Re: Squatters in my rent house!
: September 20, 2008, 02:47:47 AM
Guys, as much as you might like to think so, there are no crime free neighborhoods. Where I live, a nice rural are of farms... the nearest McDonalds 90+ miles away... good people, still has its problems with midnight riders from the Rez coming by to see what they can take or siphon. Dogs keep indians away so most farms have dogs and few problems.

Check with your local cops and you might be surprised at what happens, prosecuted or not.  Columbine and the rest were peaceful 'not in my backyard' towns before the problem that made them infamous arose. It can happen anywhere which is how it happened there.

Denying his area has problems is foolish. He says pot and booze are there so it is highly likely crack and more serious drugs are there as well. It is a college town, kids with daddys money and mobile drug dealers like areas like that. The problem may be small but it is there. He is just not looking or in denial. At that there will probably be more deaths due to alcohol than illegal drugs. Many more due to tobacco.

He is denying reality but apparenlty it helps him to cope with life somehow.

Don't bother moving to GA, we can't have them either. Mississippi could, the last time I went back. Just no jobs available.
Plus the heat/ humidity in GA(except the mountains, but once again, no jobs) are oppressive.

Sherman was a war criminal. The atrocities committed under his command(with his blessing) would land any officer from any halfway decent military in prison until he rotted.
: Re: Squatters in my rent house!
: Jaymo September 20, 2008, 05:50:13 AM
Well, first off, crack is mostly a black thing. Areas with few blacks have very little incidence of crack usage.
If they'd been in GA, they would have  been guilty of a home invasion and you could have shot all of them with something bigger than a pellet gun, and been legally justified.
I prefer my previously stated response better. Video proof to send to parents, cops, teachers, media. Let them go park on a dirt road like the rest of us. Geez.
about 8 years ago my mom called me to tell me someone was in her garden and didn't belong there.I drove over and surveyed the scene with binocs. I found 2 teens around 14 or 15(I guess, I don't know) performing oral and penetrative intercourse in full view of the entire neighborhood. I was pretty surprised, and I've seen a LOT of things, including a nude crackho fighting with the cops in the streets of Atlanta. I walked out to the garden and they didn't even stop. I loudly asked them what in the H they were doing in my garden. They reluctantly finished what they were doing and left.  That one weirded me out. I just don't get it.

It really is a terrible thing. I've seen many OD's, due to my line of work. The worst ones are the walk-ins that say "I've been smoking crack for four days and now I feel like there's something wrong with my heart".  No S$%T. I mean, if you hit yourself in the head with a hammer for four days, then you're gonna have a headache, right?
Around here, there is a pretty bad meth problem as well. Hell--last summer, kids were freezing medication patches and eating them--and dying.
For one; I hate what people will do to themselves, and others.

 Kids eatin' those fentanyl patches? Man, the dosage on that stuff is measured in micrograms, not milligrams. Too hard to control your dosage, doing 'em for recreation. Absorption isn't predictable either, eatin' them like that. Those'll kill you good.

 That's why I just decided to get a good heroin connection and stick with that. Helps keep me slim and cuts my smoking habit down too!

Jaymo, this is the second post of yours I have read where you are fixated on blacks. Do you have some deep seated antipathy towards the NAACP and its membership?

Crack hits every strata of society. More socially acceptable in some areas than others but college towns are more open than most to experimentation.

No, have not always lived in North Dakota. LA, The City of San Francisco and a number of places in other States as well as enlisted service(not drafted) in the US Army with an honorable discharge after the tour of duty was over. Partial permanent disability as a result of that time.

The idea of shooting squatters or visitors is one that is foolish. Asking for advice is asking for opinions and you should not cry over what is said. You asked for it.

I asked for what, @sshole? I don't get your point.  No I'm not fixated on blacks. The vast majority of violent crime is committed by them. Every area with a high concentration of them also has MUCH higher crime rates. They commit the most interracial crimes, especially rape of white women. So I say that it is they who have a problem with us.
And statistically speaking crack IS mostly a black thing. Yes there are whites who do it ,just like there are whites who wear baggy pants, listen to that ghetto cr@p they call music, and try to act like hood rats. But the vast majority don't. I'm not sorry for not being a self hating whitey just because the media and the nation of islam tell me I should be.

BTW, if you were literate you would have noticed that I was kidding about shooting them. I merely pointed out that in my state, he would have been legally justified. Never said morally justified.Then again, socialists like yourself don't have morals. Morals come from Christian beliefs. And you hate christians, Osama.

He also wrote that morals started with Christians. There was no moral code before the mythical jesus, right? Even this character we have no actual evidence of having been real acknowledged a moral code from long before he is supposed to have lived with his three or more wives in Israel. Maybe you can track some of his descendants and ask them if he left any written records of what he based his beliefs on?

Tell ya what, since there's not gonna be any consensus in the forum for ignoring him, banning him, warning him, whatever, what I'm gonna do is just act on whim like everyone else.

 I'll play the game too. Maybe sometimes I'll feel pity for him, perhaps sometimes I'll just blow what he says off, but I reserve the right, on those days when I just feel like kickin' the dog when I come home, to treat him as my own personal chew-toy. (chomp chomp)

 I don't hold grudges. He straightens up, I'm cool. I sure will be watchin' him out of the corner of my eye for a while, though. :)

 I predict he'll attempt and perhaps succeed in taking center stage with his abrasive manner on every thread he joins, so you should be prepared for that. Continual thread hijacks.

 So... we'll see.
