At least to me. I'm fairly certain Will has his facts correct.<br /><br />Therefore I can only say the elderly women was reasonable in her request relative to HER property rights, the judge was just another over sympathetic liberal, and the state should be reacting in much shorter time to evict laggards and parasites from property they don't own and refuse to contribute anything to. The people were not renters, they were squatters.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-20383773539238328602011-11-21T20:32:02.418-05:002011-11-21T20:32:02.418-05:00I'm sure this story is accurate.

If these renters were truly as bad as she says, and she is truly trying to be a good person, then yes, this would be a terrible situation. The evidence does indeed lean toward that - it's the kids part that makes me think so, as the state always leans towards preserving families with children, even when it's a little risky. But there's just not enough information here for me to decry the judge or the system.<br /><br />I guess what I'm trying to say here is be careful of second-person anecdotes. They're usually only so reliable.<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-44786548688018137372011-11-21T18:46:00.393-05:002011-11-21T18:46:00.393-05:00There may or may not be something wrong with the s...There may or may not be something wrong with the system, per se.
