93 Year Old Woman Arrested for Resisting Eviction

the system loves cruelty

criminalizing poverty and brutalizing criminals is what spins the wheels of capitalism

Look the law is the law and police have to enforce the law. Except for their friends and family or city officials. Or if they just don't feel like enforcing the law. But other than that the law is the law!

Just chiming in, she was arrested in 2017 and spent two nights in jail before being released by a judge, her charges were dropped and she received donations and support from the local community for her new living arrangements.

No idea what happened to her after that.

Also unclear why she was in this financial situation to begin with, there are several housing and medical care programs from both state and federal that could have covered this $500 monthly expense.

"But then people would just want to be old and disabled in order to not pay their rent."

• A Republican, probably

She should've made more money and saved more when she was younger.

Best regards,

Capitalism

capitalism is terrorism

decommodify housing already. wtf is wrong with people.

Not the cause of the issue, but still a player. Another bastard cop, "just doing my job - that I chose to pursue and will continue to do." What a hero.

America has great public housing, free meals and they even provide everyone with a job. I just don't understand why residents need to wear those funny orange suits.

Cruelty is the point. Keep people subservient, keep them worried for their own life and the lives of their loved ones.

You're less likely to complain about work requiring 20 hours of unpaid overtime if that means you can't put food on the table for your family.

Can’t you see how shareholders are suffering here? Have a heart!

But the poor landlords!

And the people that did it went right back into the office the next day prob saying "oh I feel so sorry for her anyways what we getting for lunch?"

But shareholder value!

ACAB

'MURICA !!! WOOHOO!! FREEEEEEEDOMMM!

As conservatives applaud...

Conservatism is a fucking plague of oppression, misery and death that targets the most vulnerable first. It needs to be eradicated and innoculated against.

I mean, that is capitalism. It's good, no? No?

I'd argue that if you do that your not even a human being worthy of basic human rights. That landlord and those cops should just die lol

but Jebus or something is what they love down there in Florida!

That's so sad, i cannot imagine myself growing old in such a corrupted country.

While no politicians have actual hearts, opting to have them replaced with mechanical pumps and dark magic, the ones down in the south do enjoy devouring them - preferably while still beating.

Animals are much kinder

I hate life

F'ed up.

neoliberalism and late stage capitalism in its essence

Should have a gofundme or something going around with the info tbh

Why is it assumed that the owner can afford to have her live rent free?

Should people get free housing at 92? At what point does a squatter get a free pass? Should we force the owner to give charity to the elderly squatter? What makes her more deserving than, say, Doctors Without Borders?

What makes her more special? That she's old?

Fuck all of the homeless people, guys, old ass bitch of a dinosaur needs her place out of the way!
