Brickbat: Giving Spirit

Loletha Hale ended up in a Georgia jail after trying to remove a squatter from her house. It took almost four months, but in November, Hale finally got a court to rule that Sakemeyia Johnson was squatting in her house. Hale said she thought that meant Johnson would be evicted, so she was surprised to find her still living in the house. It turns out Hale still needs a writ of possession, which the judge has yet to sign, to evict her. But seeing Johnson in the house, Hale tried to remove the squatter herself. Johnson called 911, and Clayton County deputies arrested Hale for attempting an illegal eviction. One deputy who responded to the call can be heard on bodycam video telling Hale, "Just think of it from this perspective, though. Everybody isn't as fortunate as you to have a bed. All the little things, a bed in their house, food in the kitchen."

Most people don't steal to get a house, bed and food in the kitchen.
Most people don't steal a house, to get a bed and food in the kitchen.
Criminy no! You'd have to steal a new house every week or two to get fresh food in the kitchen, because who wants to live on canned food?
Legalize shooting squatters.
But, but, but "The 'poor'...................."

A party of criminal scammers destroying everyone's Liberty and Justice because of .................................... "The 'poor'............."

Other Identify-as excuses like being racist, sexist and the weather.
Their ?Justice? is that they get to squat and take your house.

"Put yourself in your rapist's shoes. Everybody isn't fortunate enough to get laid regularly."
That only works if the rapists are immigrants from non-Christian countries.
As usual, I really can't pass any judgement here without knowing the skin color of everyone involved.
Also: Sakemeyia Johnson Named after her Mother, perhaps?
From a different story about this
“ Clayton County Magistrate Court Judge Latrevia Lates-Johnson eventually ruled that Sakemeyia Johnson was not a squatter “because she is related to a previously evicted tenant’s partner.””
Seems legit
