Article is a little light on facts. The author should have looked into whether or not the other tenant was actually a squatter or not. We only know at this point she is an alleged squatter from a tenants statement. Why not check with the landlord to get the facts? Why not check with the other tenant to ask if she is a squatter?
But let's assume she actually is a squatter for sake of argument. I mean it's a weird thing to allege.
I dislike the gop. I dislike squatters. I dislike trespassers.
Person a trespassed into the one side of the house in order to throw a spider.
Person b is a squatter. (Again we don't have info from the landlord (lazy reporting)).
Everyone sucks in this article including the author of the article.
She had a tarantula with her, pre-meditated. Throwing a Tarantula can kill it, animal abuse. In my view she’s automatically the asshole who planned this regardless of transgression or tenant.
Considering the person she accused of being a squatter is an attorney and the person making the accusations is currently sitting in jail, I'm going to assume her story is b/s. The article stated that the attorney's lease was up but that doesn't mean she has to move out. I lived in places for years after my lease expired as a "month to month" tenant.
The reason the one is in jail is because of assault and battery... Or is it assault? Always get that part mixed up. Either way she's in jail because of that. Still doesn't show if the "squatter" part is bs. Both can be true. The one is an asshole for throwing a tarantula and the other could be a squatter. We don't know about the Squatting because of the lack of information.
I'll stick with my original statement, lazy reporting
I'm saying this woman is crazy and has zero credibility so there's no reason to believe anything she says. The woman she attacked is an attorney so I'm assuming she wouldn't be illegally squatting in someone's home and jeopardizing her whole career.
Dislike a squatter all you want. You're not part of their due process, and you may not throw a tarantula at them. So, it's irrelevant.
I would also point out that if this happened it probably would not make the news here... Except for that the aggressor is a political candidate. That's what makes it interesting, that this batshit MFer actually thinks the people deserve her. The squatter is not trying to represent you.
