Protesting Home Foreclosures - The Chicago Way

ACORN thugs break into a foreclosed home and 're-install' the previous 'owner'.  The 'owner' couldn't afford her mortage, was foreclosed on and evicted from the house.  Thems the breaks, right?  Not in this age of gang thuggery and anarchy maquerading as 'community organization'.
 
A community organization breaks into a foreclosed home in what they are calling an act of civil disobedience.
 
The group wants to train homeowners facing eviction on peaceful ways they can remain in their homes.
 
Derek Valcourt reports their actions are not without controversy.
 
Near Patterson Park, the padlock on the door and the sign in the window tells part of Donna Hanks foreclosure story.
 
“The mortgage went up $300 in one month,” said Hanks, former homeowner.
 
She says the bank refused to modify her loan and foreclosed, kicking her out of the house in September.
 
The community group ACORN calls Hanks a victim of predatory lending.

This is our house now,” said Louis Beverly, ACORN.
 
And on Thursday afternoon, they literally broke the foreclosure padlock right off the front door and then broke into the house, letting Hanks back in for the first time in months.
 
'Civil disobedience'?  How about Theft?  Trespassing?  Destruction of private property?  Any of a myriad of other charges which should be levied against these anarchist cretins!
 
Is this the first shot in a wider cultural conflict?  What will you do, what will any of us do, if this begins to spread or creep into our own neighborhoods?  If the civil authorities don't deal with this swiftly and appropriately you can bet further lawlessnes, in fact probably more emboldened acts, will continue and arise in other areas across the country.
