The laws need to be changed when it comes to so called "squatters rights". They're trespassers not squatters. Ridiculous.
People need a place to stay
@@chriswright8074 the homeowners, that's correct.
They committed Breaking and Entering.
@@denisegordon5811 this is Seattle. This is what happens when you don't pay attention to what you're voting for, and it won't change until people do. Do not support the bufoons who not only allow this, but praise and encourage and reward criminal behavior.
I'm so sick of criminals having more rights than tax-paying citizens.
Stop idolizing the ultra wealthy and hold them accountable 😊They're the biggest thieves😂
Me too. Lock Trump up!
Stop voting for folks that support those kind of policies! Elections have consequences! In other words….stop voting for Democrats!
maybe u should stop paying taxes then. criminals are smart bc they know they'll get away with it. they know most people are all talk and too scared to take major risks.
@@ghostofvalor4349what are you talking about? Did you not see the video? They lost everything. I mean everything they had was just garbage and stolen goods but they literally have nothing again. I know it’s annoying to do paperwork and stuff but there is a reason for it. Cause it would be bad if you could just check someone out and they had a legal reason to be there. So they go thru a headache to be sure what they’re doing is right and not a mix up. Cause there is some real house owners that are just messy.
Someone please help me understand why the city and police “can do nothing.” Another bureaucratic failure in our American cities.
Its the cops .
It might be because at the beginning it was considered a civil case.
They usually can, but it's harder if they can't reach the property owner (who might be dead).
In the state of Washington if a trespasser is squatting in a property for longer than 24 hours you can’t just kick them out. Depending on the city, county, etc… they have between 30-90 days to vacate the premises. Or at least there is a court order and the cops kick them out which there was not.
@@zestyclose_village68 nope we can kick them out no matter how long they where in there
This country is beyond sad, victims have NO rights !!!!!!!
There are no victims only victim mentality
@@tomtroy3792 Baloney. I am in a similar situation and nothing is being done to stop the criminals who have caused quite a few problems for the law-abiding folks.
@@bhazerelli7611 oh so you are a poor victim with that mindset you always will be
They abandoned God and this is the consequence.
@@Wisdomlies You abandon God every time you cast judgement on others. It's God's job to judge because he is the one who approved us all to be knit in our mother's womb.
I am soooo happy for this little community!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
So no squatters rights claims for anyone who enters this boarded up, empty home? But squatters who take over a home where people are already living AREN'T trespassing and can claim squatters rights? What's wrong with this picture?
@@gingerninjer355 lmfao and they wonder why people think the right are heartless cucks
Picture? Drugs… filth… theft…stolen cars. Drugs.. tons of garbage. Find Jesus
Insley
@@gingerninjer355 Using evil to fight evil. God is very right about humans. How pathetic of you to even suggest that.
@@Wisdomlies To be fair, they weren't the only one who thought about setting the place on fire in the middle of the night. What's the fraze? One for the good of many? Also I am sure God has killed more people than Satan himself. Soooo....
I can imagine neighbors' relief.
I had mega-jerks living next to me for 20 years.
The day the "For Sale" sign went up in their yard, I cheered.
Cripe, you deserve a medal dude! No kidding!
@@deliveryguyrx Pity the people they live next to now.
Define "mega-jerks."
@@MrSwedjen Absolutely refusing to shut their dogs up, that barked at everything, and acted aggressively to me and the other neighbors when we were in our back yards or driveways.
The dogs they purposely kept on the side furthest away from their bedroom, but right next to my dining and living rooms.
Where the dogs roasted in the sun, on concrete, during the summer.
And played basketball in their backyard, right next to where they kept the dogs, instead of in their driveway.
Then purposely made the dogs bark, every day, at the same time, because I complained.
Victory!!! I am in your neighboring town of Mukilteo, and I and celebrating with you!! Great to see people taking back their neighborhoods!!
Squatter laws need to be changed to protect homeowners
*squatter
They are being changed, but it's a slow process. And part of the problem is all the defunding of the police, they don't have the manpower to deal with all these low-priority issues.
Absolutely...our present Laws are puny at best. Enough of these types of crimes, foolishness and mayhem.
If you think about it it's really not that difficult. Not you house GTFO. See simple.
Stop voting for democrats
I moved into an apartment building that has 24 rentable units back in 2017. It was very nice here. Then 2019 came and so did covid. From 2020 to 2021, 20 units stopped paying rent to take advantage of the no evictions. The place fell apart because the owner was getting no rent except from me an 3 other units. They went bankrupt and the city took over as receivership. From 2021 through 2022 it was the worse experience of my life. Nearly every unit of those 20 units were taken over by squatters and druggies. People were over dosing and dying, being dragged out of the building and dumped by their supposed friends. People were murdering each other over drugs. There was a theft ring operating out of the building along with prostitution.
I couldn't afford to move anywhere else in the city so I had to just keep the doors an windows locked an my shotgun loaded. The cops would do nothing. They would say "well we arent sure if these people are actually squatters or not so as long as they keep the door closed they are protected by the 4th"
People were dying every other week from over dose or murders an the cops were just like "Ah well, sucks to sucks" basically
That would've been scary
@@Bebedollie I know the feeling Last year new neighbors moved in next to me. The first weekend they are so loud having parties and screaming outside carrying their beers in their hand. From the moment they moved in they were very noisy banging walls and slumming doors. Brought a bunch of friends and they running outside midnight tell 5 am. They are young couple . She called the cops on him because he is beating her up. And this is constantly happening they are fighting inside their house and I can hear all the noise even my whole apartment is shaking. Her Bf got arrested and got out in few days and they are back doing same thing. Been complaining to the manager but there's nothing she can do about it only give them warning. They also played loud music with loud bass. My anxiety is thru the roof and I cannot rest and sleep. I cannot believe that they have wasted so muck time of cops and ambulance, they were there every week. She called the ambulance because her BF was OD and she is also high. and when the cops get there she just tell them he is ok. So on Feb this year . He sold some drugs to the drug addict on the street and after 30 min. the drug addict goes wild and want his money back. He was screaming and going berserk right outside my window so we let the manager know whats going on. It was a drama and my neighbor have hammer and ax to defend himself. And the drug addict on the street got arrested. But still the manager cant do nothing about it. So on Feb. they finally moved out on their own and did not finish their 1 yr lease, they were there only 9 months. I was so Thankful to GOD that they left Hallelujah. So now so I'm happy with my new neighbor another couple but they are very quiet which is great. Hope you can move out on that Hell hole.
Did the cops ever get rid of the squatters, or did you move elsewhere?
typical Chicago
@@Bebedollie Exactly, I got scared just reading it!!!
Sounds like the city/town government need to enact laws for abandoned properties to alleviate this type of menace.
You and others are really naive. You should realize by now these things are done on purpose and allowed by your law makers.
@@Wisdomlies That's why they said 'They need", everyone knows the government is unfair.
'Not appropriate' to have a party? You should be having MORE neighborhood parties to avoid this.
His wokeness is showing. Even that good little liberal could take no more, but you can guess he will vote for all the leftists who keep making life miserable for others.
I will never understand how squatters have more rights than the homeowners and neighbors surrounding these pigs!!...
Well the illegals are coming into this country and they have more rights than we do too! The rule of law no longer applies or the constitution!
Let me spell it out for you. L-A-W-Y-E-R-S. Specifically, Leftist lawyers who believe Marxism is fashionable.
I love how squatting criminals have more rights than we tax paying, law abiding citizens.
@ omni,Then why TF did it take so long to remove these vermin from that home?? The authorities were being total gutless khaunts.I'm so glad these nice people got their street back!
@@omi_godall you have to do is look around and pay attention to what was said here and you’ll see it is
Dont forget illegal immigrants as well
more rights or nothing to lose? how do you punish someone with nothing and no hope.
@@turkeyman631 Jesus Christ was an illegal immigrant to Egypt.
16 tons. I freak if I have a small garbage bag.
It is mostly the left over car parts from their chop-shop. Heavy stuff.
In Mpls, authorities give the homeowner about 6 mos to clean up a problem property, then after paperwork is completed, come in with bulldozers and level it to the ground. Nothing to break into, or trespass for. Because Everett hasn’t torn it down, this isn’t over for the neighbors. Far from it.
They need to level it. NOW.
Yep. Empty house is a magnet for trouble.
Exactly what I thought, too. Until that house is leveled and the property is emptied entirely, the same problem WILL happen again---all one has to do is look at Detroit to see that.
What! They have been there years and they just recently cut the power? WTF that makes me pissed. I know good decent people that have had the power turned off after a couple months late
Yes, I agree, and who was paying for it to keep it on, or it was just on? I just saw your name, that is funny! Sorry for the distraction, but, yes it makes me angry when people get their power turned off too, and somehow this was still on. They have a game they play with the power here in Wisconsin, they cant turn it off after October , but as soon as it gets warmer they can, then to get it turned back on, in October again, you have to have ALL the money..... Now I can get a chance to have help with my elec. if I buy into a solar company with the utilities, for $13000 that will last for around 20 years.... No one poor is going to be able to come up with that money....
When covid started there was a moratorium in Snohomish County on shutting off power and other services like water. That was lifted/expired like 3 months ago.
Wow that pisses me off because that's what personally happened to me years ago when I was in college with roommates.. it's like if you somewhat pay they'll go after you, if it's too expensive to deal with it they leave it. Idk how it happened in this case though... Wow
@@WitBit0 Oh, wow. That makes sense now, sort of.
@@Starkesea Don't let the little things make you angry. Life is short. 🌹
Power of THE PEOPLE!!! Good on them ❤❤
Wow 16 tons of rubbish some thing should have been done a long time ago to get these scum bags out, I'm really happy for the community wishing you all the best from south Wales UK ❤️🌹❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸
I had never heard the word ‘debris’ pronounced like Da Breeze before 😂
I'm happy for that neighborhood to finally have relief
Community is priceless ❤
Now that's what I call humanity when people can come out of the house, get together with the neighborhood "SAFELY''! Sorry not sorry.
What a relief! And I'm a thousand miles away with my robe and coffee cup.
Crime right in front of our eyes, and police did nothing. What happened to our laws? They only apply to tax paying citizens??
This is what homeless housing will look like without massive amounts of staff to manage the property...
It's not about homelessness. It is about addicts choosing drugs over everything else in life, and will do anything to get high and stay high.
“We had a party in the cul-de-sac” with the tears on the edge of his shaking voice 😅
That is just amazing that it took so long. I'm glad they finally got it done
The 'good' part of this story is a neighborhood that can really work together for a common good. The bad part is an ineffective city/police that's standing behind a wall of excuses. What do we pay those guy's for?
Local laws, courts, "activists". A lawsuit if a mistake is made. It's unfair, but in this situation it finally worked in favor of the homeowners in the neighborhood.
I have cousins, who I never see, who do this same thing.
They had a ton of garbage in their front yard, their house was packed with garbage, the back yard was 4 feet high in garbage. 10 people in one singlewide. Including 4 kids.
They accuse the rest of the family of not wanting to see them because they are "dirty".
They live in a pile of garbage. Somehow they make the welfare system work for them.
Don't ever criticize those on welfare. The IRS is now going into everyone's bank accounts to make sure you don't have money you didn't report. Working people are now being treated like criminals in Biden's America. You would be safe from this if you stayed home and just collect welfare.
I'll bet that smelled GREAT.
These squatters here are drug addicts. I'm not sure if your extended family is as well? This isn't just hoarding, filth and pestilence but drugs and how the squatting addicts of Seattle and its outskirts support their habit by stealing and selling and dealing and being constant high with their sole goal in life: to stay high. The filth is just a drug nest and the joy of destruction without consequence.
Why does it take so much to get illegal issues taken care of?!?!
Yup. Blue state
This is mostly not true. Cops enforce the law on the books. But it is up to those laws being good laws and the judges and district attorneys to hold people accountable. This is where the breakdown in lawless society happens in blue states. They are soft on crime. Most cops are Republicans and love to bust people. Lol
It’s unreal the police “can’t” do anything about a crime-ridden/producing property
They need to protect homeowners and not squatters.
Now, destroy the house and make it an empty lot.
Yes, maybe have a community garden !!!!!
Seems the Squatters have more rights than the owner of the House
washington state laws...
Party not appropriate??? Oh, yes it was!!!! You all deserve to party for the next month!!🎉🎉🎉 you all must be so relieved but it is criminal it took so long. The people squatting there were animals. Hopefully it just gets burned down and another home built so you all can have the neighbors you deserve!!!
Heck, just watching this from Salem,Oregon I am cheering with you!!!!!
My son left Oregon..in 2020...my cousins remain..it is so heartbreaking Oregon is so beautiful...how did we let this happen?
wonder where the rats went too
Complete bs that the government can’t stop this with the squatters. They just don’t want to.
I don’t understand how it’s even legal for someone to come and just move into someone else’s property. Whatever law allows this and whichever want let law enforcement remove them needs to be removed.
Whichever attorney first sided with squatters and started this needs to be disbarred to set an example.
Soros law
Amazing how little effort it took to stop the Madness!
Thank God someone could do something. All the criminals committed in this house and the police could do nothing. My my.
Its a shame it took this long to get this done....but it is Seattle...you get what you vote for....
Now do Miami Florida and Huston Texas.
@@cappiece3786
Also, Houston, Texas. :) I never heard of Huston.
@@vintage6346 ok my little English teacher you need to have a talk with my Samsung spell for me phone 😁
@@cappiece3786 I suspect Houston and Miami are run by the same types of people who run Seattle, but I couldn't say for sure.
@@cappiece3786
Almost right. I'm a Spanish teacher, not an English teacher.
The city says it can’t do anything about people who choose to not play by the rules. So the law abiding citizens who make mistakes are the only ones who suffer the wrath of government authority.
The inevitable result is a society of 100% criminals.
If you have ever lied you are a liar, if you steal you are a thief, if you sped you are a speeder/criminal, if didn’t wear a seatbelt, if you didn’t use a blinker, if you look at your phone, your breaking laws so your a criminal. Drink under age? Play your music too loud?
Ridiculous behavior by authorities ❤️ glad you guys got your neighborhood back 😊
“Authorities “ ? You mean democrats passed these stupid laws protecting squatters. 🙄

Every thing you can imagine has happened in this 🌎 9 people and 10 tons of trash.
How can the city not do anything.... but if your house kept up and bills are paid they kick you out instantly
Imagine that ... being so overjoyed when this "horror" was removed that you call the event MAGICAL. I'm happy for them.
Thank God that the home was never firebombed from different sides at a very dead time of the morning,
"Hey Marvelous Jefferson, how do you feel now?" Marvelous: "Great!"
You people can't seem to decide how much trash was removed. The title says 6 tons. The video itself says 16 tons. That's a big difference. Did the person who wrote the title even watch the video?
Doesn't matter it's a garbage dump that cleaned up.
some gasoline and a match would've saved everybody the timeline....
Arson with homicide is a pretty serious crime to be instigating or alluding to as a solution instead of the correct way, which these smart citizens chose..🙄
@Paulo Hernanndizz agreed, my brother and I fought with neighbors who ran a trap house for the better part of four years. Weekly calls to the sheriff, "with whom we're on a first name basis now🙂" complaints to the county and petitions signed by the whole neighborhood...I get the dark humor, unfortunately, TH-cam does not. I've been censored for 24hrs several times for saying much less than that. I'm just saying there might be some culpability in a comment like that and the consequences wouldn't be as simple as a comment shutdown from YT...✌️✌️🤘
When a house is condemned, take it down, just don't leave it sitting there. After all the time that's passed since the house was condemned, the band-aid was to extensively board it up. What a waste of time and work. Just flatten it with the excavator. I mean it was already right fucking there loading out garbage into containers.
We had this for years next door to us in Orange County. Same, tried to buy it, squatters moved in, hundreds of cars and thefts…
Sir, your party was entirely appropriate!
Oh lovely community outcomes !!!!
Coffee cups, robes, cigarettes and slippers! 😂😂😂
They should let other hoarders petition to get a share of that garbage. Shame to waste it.
The guy in pink shirt was watching this go down drinking bud light and we all know it.
So familiar. Our neighborhood in Tacoma has had 2 of those houses.
We have one Marvelous neighbor who got rid of the not so marvelous neighbors.
Looks like the whole neighborhood already had a "magical coming out" long ago! ;-D
"Absolutely magical" lmaoo
I bet if anyone in the local government lived close to this house - something would have been done much sooner.
That’s a common thing with vacant/condemned houses in that area of Everett
Don’t they have City Ordinances? Where I live you get a letter of warning from the city and if you don’t clean up the mess, the city will do it for you and put it on your Taxes, plus fine you!
Only God can change man’s heart.
I'm trying to figure out what neighborhood this is. I feel like Ive driven past the house, but I can't place it.
Marvelous Jefferson? Wonder if he was wearing his pink shirt during that 'magical moment'?
They finally at peace GREAT!!!
Seattle welcomes everyone
Magical... so happy for all of you!!!...... Celebration!!!!!!

In the end, it cost the city so much more to deal with a huge cleanup , when they could have taken action a long time ago. Crimes were being committed in the open.
2:08... "duh breeze"?.... guess you need minimal education to report the news there
I'm from New York where squatter laws are not a thing, the fact that there is a law that allows people who don't own the property to stay and the live is absolutely unimaginable. I feel so bad for the poor people who owns the homes around this property that paid taxes and were productive members of society. They did not deserve to have to go through all of those who most terrible people who lived in that home stealing cars and doing drugs they don't deserve to be in a nice neighborhood they need to be locked away in prison. We need to clean up our society. And we need to start now.
As someone that's dealt with this..make it easier to get rid of squatters. The courts refer to them as "tenants".
I think more of these people should be replacing their elected officials. They are clearly not doing their job if issues like this are not being dealt with. You know damn well that if this house was next door to any of them it would not have happened.
It’s amazing that abandoned buildings and forsaken homes can still have working power and water after years of non payment but if you or me are month and a half overdue on the bill our power/water would immediately be shut off. I just don’t get it
Oh, what a HUGE threat. "They WILL be trespassed". Has not stopped much of anything in the past, let's see how well that does things now. I don't have high expectations....
Typical America spent $1.7 Trillion on multiple failed F-35 jets that could have housed ALL the US homeless 29 times over.
EXACTLY..BUT THEY WON'T ..TOO BUSY EXPLORING OTHER PLANETS .WHILE THIS ONE TURNS TO 💩...GO FIGURE.. You have a wonderful day today..🙂
@@sexysenior8934 Thanks, I hope your day goes well too.
@@djpomare ☺️❤️
Okay but who else cackled at the window AC in the back window of that van
16 tons of garbage, holy shit! What's the physical address number on the house?
Why does it take all of that to make Code and police to do their job?
Police have to follow laws. They can't just act on their personal feelings.
What I DON,T understand, is why the police could do NOTHING??? Drugs, stolen property?????? That just smacks of LAZINESS! Bet if it was located beside a councilor,s home, policeman,s home, mayor,s home, the problem wouldn,t have existed!
Glad these residents got something done. If u work and pay for your home u should be able to enjoy it.
There was another option 🔥🔥🔥
If I had to live in Washington state I would cry
Next thing that should happen is to use the structure as a FD training tool/drill. Then knock it down and clear the property ......
Keep doing what you do Seattle. It looks good on you.
It's not Seattle doorknob, it's Everett...
@@tonigallegos1325 that 29 miles is making a huge difference.
@@tonigallegos1325 The median household income for both cities was comparable. My point is that in Everett like Seattle, this kind of thing is tolerated and it takes years to get something like this resolved.
Good for the neighbors! I hate bureaucracy!
That house would have randomly caught on fire with everyone in it one night while i was out of town. Funny how things just...happen
Hey you ...🤫🤫🤫
Fix the title it was 16 tons of junk removed!! Not 6🤦♀️
6 TONS of garbage removed? I can only imagine what kind of people were staying there.
Stolen cars
Glad things got better ! All too common and very unacceptable!
Now any law abiding person would be taken to jail, charged only God knows what and fined or have a lien put against the home. Criminals get away with so many chances!!
You could of got it done alot sooner or immediately. Send the town or city USPS certified mail with a receipt as long as they sign they have to act. Then you can FOIA Freedom of Information Act what's being done. If they don't act you can sue the town or city because of these criminals making your neighborhood unsafe, inhabitable, code violations and more. But they have to sign the USPS certified mail with a receipt. You can use this at work, rental, for government, or dny unsafe condition.
This comes from the mayor, top down and unlike the squatters the neighbors have legit jobs and family to care for. Their unpaid side hustle is having to do all the work the police can't do and the mayor won't allow thanks to thr touchy feely attitude toward addicts.
“There’s nothing we want to do.” “I mean, there’s nothing we will do.” “I mean, there’s nothing we can do.”
Where I was raised a little fuel and a match was all that was needed to clean up a place like that.
It is appropriate to celebrate something like that.
A more efficient way to accomplish this would have been to take a page from Vlad Tepes' book -
Just lock them in and set the place ablaze.
This would also make others think twice about committing the same crimes.
I'm in NY and having a block celebration these people are gone is most certainly appropriate.
RATS and vermin running from that place into other HOMES was magical to .Happens every time.
