There is a story going around in the Portland news media about a group of occupiers that are going into older folks or the "not so mentally able" homes and squatting. Now if it is true that these people had information on how to pick locks or used some type of trickery or deception to get into these people's home, is that not concerned forced entry or burglary?
Honestly, if these places had been seriously abandoned and were foreclosures, I might have a different view.
But to into someone's home and do this, is just way beyond what I consider, beyond reproach or decent. A few people have been arrested and now, I think they should be held to a higher standard that your average drug bust idiot from Downtown Portland Crack-alley victim.
Here is an example from the Portland Tribune.
