Landlord thought they could pull a kickdoor and discovered there were consequences. Hope Watson gets off with the most lenient punishment but I doubt RI will let that happen.

[Landlord] and two other people, including her brother, had climbed some stairs to approach the man’s apartment door, which someone kicked in during the exchange, Lapatin said.

“There were some weapons we believe that were in the possession of the people entering,” said Lapatin, who did not specify who was armed.

Way to bury the fucking lead providence journal, this should read “Man defends self from armed vigilante squad”

Passive voice and we know exactly what weapon the guy had (a scary ghost gun!) but every action and weapon of the attackers remains shrouded in mystery

The craziest part is the local cops would surely have been happy to perform the eviction for her if it was a legal eviction, that’s like half of what they do. The landlord had terminal Americabrain ™ and wanted to do it themselves, illegally.

We noticed the door experience a kinetic event, prior to the unit dweller opening fire. Then I tactically ascertained several bullets entering my chest cavity.

They believe they have the right to use violence to control their private property. They’re also big mad the police don’t give a shit about small fish and will tell them to take it to court.

Rhode Island is so liberal that they’ve still not legalized recreational weed. Connecticut legalized it first, and Connecticut is stuffed to the gills with gated communities of old money assholes!

Connecticut is just strip malls, gated communities, insurance office parks and bedroom villages for other states. It’s worse than a bad place, it’s a non-place.
