General Discussion

I read the article at the link you posted. It does not put the "alleged squatter" in a good light. But the worst light is on our society and judicial system.

I am basically on Hale's side, with some caveats. Her behavior wasn't perfect for sure. But JHFC this other person does not have a right to use that property and I don't know where the f*ck she gets the idea that she does.

Society:
Why doesn't the "alleged squatter" have somewhere else to go? Until the entire premise of the U.S. is changed, our society is property-based and capitalist. There will always be people who are for one reason or another, unable to succeed in this system, and as a society we need to be able to support them humanely without just appropriating other people's property at random, or supporting such appropriation.
>> I am not extolling the virtues of the system here, just that it IS the system we live under, and everybody needs to be able to rely on the rules being reasonably well followed. If you question this, please play a mental game where suddenly you cannot trust any of these rules. Oh wait, we will all be playing that game for real, at least somewhat, in the next four years.

Justice:
Why is the judicial system dragging their feet on giving Hale back the access to her property?

Note that based on the picture at your link, the homeowner is Black. Based on name (yes I'm stereotyping) the "alleged squatter" is also Black.

Meaning, in Georgia, most of the legal system probably doesn't give a rat's ass about either of them and doesn't care which one ends up in jail, except to prefer that it would be both.
