Details are still scant, but…

“I mean, he had a lot of ammunition in that house, and certainly … all of us were strapped, you know, with ammunition, and we were calling for additional ammunition,” Kraus said. “Like I said, we tried to give him every opportunity to come out.”

    …I’ll go way out on a limb and suggest that this could’ve been handled better.

    Yeah, I mean, they could stop evicting people and sentencing them to homelessness.

    That would be a start and would have avoided this entire thing.

      People should be allowed to occupy and damage any property they’ve set foot on once, not matter how expensive

        People should have a home if the action here were to provide another housing option, then this wouldn’t have happened. Also seems the person likely had a traumatic reason for being evicted and needed help.

          I agree. But I probably wouldn’t phrase that as “they could stop evicting people”.

          Even if well implemented social housing existed, one should still be able to evict people from expensive property they aren’t willing or able to pay for.

          He occupied a house, not an apartment. He got evicted because he wouldn’t settle for less than a whole house.

          I may be in this dude’s situation one day. And you know what I’m gonna do? Move to a cheaper apartment.

          Indeed. If you want anything better than the cheapest apartments to exist, you have to be able to evict people who can’t afford more than the cheapest apartments.
