While the law is typically on the side of criminals making it difficult to evict squatters and trespassers alike, a jury of your peers will easily find no fault with using extreme measures to take pest removal into your own hands, including this case where a man shot and killed one of the squatters on his property. It only took them six hours too, not surprised. If I was on that jury I'd have voted the same.

Thoughts on this case and the general question of whether or not you should be able to use extreme force to remove squatters?

A Nevada man who was accused of murder after confronting two unarmed trespassers with a deadly barrage of gunfire at a vacant duplex he owns was found not guilty Friday of all charges in the latest case to test the boundaries of stand-your-ground self-defense laws.

Wayne Burgarello, 74, a retired Sparks school teacher, insisted he was acting in self-defense in February 2014 when he shot and killed Cody Devine and seriously wounded Janai Wilson.

A jury in Reno deliberated for six hours before finding him not guilty on a charge of attempted murder as well as four alternative charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter.

I think you should be able to call the police and have them forcefully remove the squatters.

If you can do it without force, then you should be able to remove them, and if they get violent or anything then you should be able to take reasonable action, but if they are just sitting there refusing to leave call the police and have them taken to jail and charged with a crime. Don't escalate it to violence unless they are threatening or doing something first.

People without homes should be able to move into all the empty houses.

that's not how it works

how it works is you call the police, they declare it a civil matter, and then you go through a legal process that takes 3-6 months if you're lucky before you can get a sheriff to evict the parasites while they trash your home just before they leave - of course you still gotta pay all the bills for the place during that time

of course they have to be removed by any means necessary, how is that even a question
and i fully support the right to protect your property, but this guy was looking for someone to shoot

call the police and let them remove these idiots, but you dont go in there with a gun and fire 5 shots on one person in "self defence"
