#1 I think I'd find some snail darters on my land right about now.

#2 It might be nice to see a number of Supreme Court judges have to pay back rent.

#3 Jackal beat me by 2 minutes. I think what is happening here is that the development company is now short of cash so the City is going to try to get it for them. Taking people's property (homes) offering them less than half waht it is worth, and then charging back rent so the city winds up not having to pay anything. Hanging's too good for them.

#4 They make robbers look good in comparison. Is this Cuba or what?

#5 This is all the more reason the Second Amendment is necessary. Time to lynch some city officials and run the land developers out of town.

#6 $6,100 a month for rent, geesh. The dudes in that city council should be shot, hung and castrated all at the same time.

#7 I'd be curious to hear what TGA thinks about this...

I have no doubts that if these people banded together, put up a website, gave interviews (though only Fox would offer), and pleaded for legal assistance - as well as "other" assistance, does anyone doubt they'd get it - both types. Their plight is simply offensive to me. I'd donate in a heartbeat to help them.

#8 This is a classic case of human rights violations. Where are the self proclaimed protectors of human rights? Where is the court that is supposed to protect those rights?

Crickets? Ya I thought so.

It's things like this that make me certain we need a new revolution to reclaim our constitution and enforce the Bill of Rights for real people not "real persons"

#9 .com, sounds like a very good idea.

I think "eminent domain" is something that could really prove to undermine everything what America is about.

And what New London is doing (if they get away with it) would warrant a "New London Tea Party".

If you can't find tea, try it with city officials.
