Some community activists could face criminal charges after breaking into a home in Southeast Baltimore. Police were at the home Thursday night looking for fingerprints and other evidence.
The activists who staged the break-in belong to the Association of Community Organizations For Reform Now or ACORN. After snapping a lock with bolt cutters, ACORN member Louis Beverly told supporters “this is our house now.”

ACORN Brownshirts break into foreclosed homes in acts of ‘civil disobedience’

There is little doubt that ACORN is feeling its oats now that one of their own is in the White House. The payback by Obama is just beginning and the only question in my mind is when we start calling these thugs “Obama’s Brown Shirts?”
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.
ACORN is seeking to destroy property rights as any good little marxist organization would. Once property rights are history, no one will be safe and people will scurry to the protection that Big Brother offers in order to save what little they have. Property rights guarantee our independence. And that just won’t do for ACORN and their allies.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
ACORN – when you absolutely positively need someone with less ability and intellect than you’ve got.
And because of Obama’s stimulus bill hand out another problem now is that ACORN will have lots of money for lawyers.
“This is our house now,” said Louis Beverly, ACORN
Didn’t they say the same thing about the White House after Obama was elected? (eye roll)
These people need to be stopped! Breaking into homes is not ‘civil disobedience’. It reminds me of the reported tactics of ACORN busting into bank executive meetings to intimidate them into giving them loans in the first place.
They are going to be doing more of this.
ACORN Trains Citizens To Protest Home Foreclosures
BALTIMORE (WJZ)
A community organization breaks into a foreclosed home in what they are calling an act of civil disobedience. The group says it was staging similar demonstrations in six other cities nationwide while urging a moratorium on foreclosures. They want that until President Obama’s stimulus plan begins on March 4. The plan is designed to help threatened homeowners.
….Thank you Mark for sending this to me. The group wants to train homeowners facing eviction on peaceful ways they can remain in their homes.

And they broke the law. Stupid ACORN. Something tells me the previous owner who was kicked out didn’t tell the whole story. How far behind on the mortgage was she? Did she get rude with the bank? Did she set up a payment plan and then not be able to afford the payment plan? There are so many whats, whens and whys. ACORN had NO right to just break in and let that person move back in, saying it was “Their” house now. This person sounds an awful lot like Henrietta Hughes. Cry boo hoo, I lost my home. A lot of people lose their homes and go on with life.
Since ACORN’s biggest cheerleader is now in the highest office in this land, they believe they are above the law. It has nothing to do with “the good of the people” – no, it’s plain revenge for all those horrible things “The Man” has done.
Plus, they get their picture in the paper and get on the evening news. And money from the government – for free!! How cool is that!?!?
Obama’s ACORN Group Breaks Into Home

Sort of revenge of the Nerds’ against the White People.
Even when pressed the woman could NOT answer why they have any right to OUR money. It goes back to the old bit of, ‘ You owe us Whitey.’
Logically, if we don’t pay our mortgage we are kicked out no questions asked. But if you are black and do the same thing that’s different. Does anyone else see any hypocrisy here.
During the election it was said, ‘if you were white and didn’t vote for obama you were a racist.(period)’ I say if you were white and voted for obama because you wanted to prove you were NOT a racist, that is only half of it, the other part is …You were also stupid.
