The reaction between the gas and the swatter caused an explosion that collapsed past of his ceiling, according to the report. The man suffered a minor burn to his hand and his home is uninhabitable, Sud Ouest reported. The fate of the housefly is unknown at this time. Edited September 7, 2020 by avatar!

Yeah fortunately he is okay, and because he is okay (sorry for the damage to his house) and the way the whole thing happened... well, it is amusing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avatar! | 1,783 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 I wonder if the USA has such stupid laws in place as well? https://www.yahoo.com/news/french-pensioners-left-homeless-squatters-132657312.html Under French law, second homeowners have 48 hours after squatters move in to prove the property belongs to them, and that the intruders broke in and have occupied the premises ever since. Failing that, a far lengthier legal procedure ensues. Owners who take the law into their own hands risk harsher sentences than the squatters - up to three years in prison and €30,000 (£27,000) fine whereas squatters risk a lighter €15,000 fine for illegal occupation of a property. After some detective work, local authorities reportedly discovered that the unidentified occupying family were far from homeless but actually owned a house in the Paris area, which they left after a dispute with neighbours. “They’re not homeless but thugs who breach basic laws,” he told Le Figaro, adding that they may have received help from “traffickers”.

There's definitely such a thing as squatters rights in the U.S. and self help remedies such as changing the locks, breaking in, or threatening / harassment comes with charges. I believe the legal term is "Adverse Possession" My great-grandfather owned a small 8 unit apartment complex in Florida. I remember as a child hearing that he had to legally evict someone who broke into one of his apartments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the legal term is "Adverse Possession" My great-grandfather owned a small 8 unit apartment complex in Florida. I remember as a child hearing that he had to legally evict someone who broke into one of his apartments. Heh, California of course. Poor woman scammed by squatters back in 2018. I wasn't able to find out what happened, but I'm guessing she had to pay thousands out of pocket to evict these free-loading lying scums. You know, if I ever decide to be a free-loading scumbag, I'm heading to Cali https://www.dailybreeze.com/2018/10/13/squatters-takeover-of-torrance-home-illustrates-landlord-frustrations-with-state-law/ In California, squatters can claim legal title to someone else’s property through an arcane legal procedure known as “adverse possession.” The law, enacted in 1872, originally was meant for abandoned rural properties that had gone fallow. In modern times, it’s mostly cited when there is a dispute over property lines. However, squatters can use it to gain possession of an empty home or vacant parcel by paying property taxes on time for five years and making improvements to the property. Kevin Gordon, a Torrance attorney hired by Oye-Marquez, has filed a forcible detainer in Los Angeles County Superior Court against the squatters, alleging they’re living in the home without permission. “They have got to move out,” he said, estimating it could take three months to evict them if they fight the detainer. “The law is pretty clear who the actual owner is.” The worst-case scenario is that a squatter gets a free attorney, either through legal aid or on contingency, Fountain said. “That free attorney will demand depositions, written discovery, jury trial — all the expensive mechanisms of litigation,” she said. “There are no such resources for property owners — they have to pay their attorneys, usually between $300 and $400 an hour. So, it’s easy for the squatter to force them to waive a money judgment and give them lots of free time in the place in exchange for eventually leaving, because it’s still far cheaper than paying for litigation. “Many people think this sounds like extortion, but it’s legal.” Edited September 9, 2020 by avatar!

They caught the ass, or at least they have his identity but as far as I can tell he has not been publicly identified. Probably a minor, which in the USA means you can do shit and get away with it. Still, what was he seriously thinking? Wouldn't be surprised if he has no insurance etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
