The property owner doesn’t have a valid up to date rental license and has open L&I violations. Which judge signed off on this in the first place? It was an illegal eviction.

I mean its not. When this has been tested they've lost that right to self defense pretty consistently. And the fact that the officers are not then charged with murder for killing someone who is exercising their lawful rights is kinda the problem

I just think you're not understanding how completely our social systems fail people in poverty.

We know that people are sometimes unable to make ends meet and instead of investing in a social safety net, we address the issue with armed agents and criminalizing being poor.

This article gives an overview of how not having resources is a brutal cycle of hopelessness in many areas of society. https://www.forbes.com/sites/maggiegermano/2020/08/04/how-the-united-states-has-criminalized-poverty-and-how-to-change-that-now/?sh=7023d8693281

Someone is the problem in this pic! The blame could go either way depending on who parked last! Hahaha if I ever park close it’s because the other person has a significant gap behind/in front of them. Then it’s justifiable

I mean, you're the one who made the implication that the person who was killed was holding a knife. The article in question very specifically does not say that and explicitly says that information is not clear.

If we wait for information to come out, we wait for information to come out, but "That murder by a private citizen of another private citizen is a-ok" isn't really that decent of a default to take

I feel you on that. I live in the NE and my partner lives in south Philly and I drive down to her place just to pick her up so I don’t have to park overnight on her street. After 5pm, parking is a nightmare in south Philly. And if you do find a spot, you come out in the morning with a new dent, scratch, or your bumper is just hanging off… Honestly, parking is the main reason why I would never consider living in any other neighborhood in the city unless the house I bought had a garage or an assigned parking spot. (Yes I do commute via septa often to center city from the NE)

Something that what?

I'ma level with you, fam: in the past I've been unemployed for long stretches of time (months at a time, I think max was about 5 or 6 in a row without any income or unemployment). It was pretty dire: months behind on bills, credit cards maxed out (still fucked over a decade later), going to bed hungry and all that, so rent wasn't the top priority. A couple of times it's gotten to a point where my landlord had to take me to court, but all it took is talking to them about the situation, and even while they sent me associated paperwork (while giving me heads up that our agreement was unaffected) - it's never gone past that point, so eviction was never ever on the cards (I was close, though).

Eventually I paid it all off and when times got better - I paid ahead of schedule (and sometimes even for an extra month, just because).

Shit happens, but you can almost always work it out with the other side, clear and timely communication helps. Back back rent to lead to evection and what happened today - yeah, that's next level right there.

I’ve always loved collingswood but check tax prices, they can be pretty high!

Sadly, the city Sheriff’s Office isn’t even much better

Ok but this is not that unless other information comes out. There are forums here for political discussion but that's not what this is.

Of course. Never said ban them; I think cities should definitely think real hard about opening them. A healthy city doesn’t open them. But anyway, I think we do exactly as you said; put programs in place. Programs typically funded and regulated by the government.

yes, their actions would likely constitute self defense

that won't be much solace to their loved ones though, because the police officers will turn them into swiss cheese

You seem out of touch with how poverty effects people, but either way the moral argument is very simple here:

Nobody deserves to have mercenaries sent to their residence for trying to keep a roof over their head and failing.

A society that permits hiring mercenaries with no oversight to forcibly remove people from homes is a morally corrupt society.

I am well aware of what the law says. I am equally aware that when it is attempted to be used by citizens to defend themselves from the law, it is not applicable even if that person is a legal owner of a firearm and NOT the subject to the raid in question. Heck the cops can have the WRONG HOUSE and still punish the people defending their home. There's been quite a few high profile cases about this.

Lol. Ok.

I mean, I REALLY do, too. But... lol... ok. I won't hold my breath.

No /s needed.

Doesn’t. That’s my bad

Where does it say someone died?

The Streets Dept cracked the living shit out of my neighbor's concrete last year by parking a huge truck right on it during a street repair because we have a small street and the city is STILL fighting them on fixing it.
