So the tenant was rough sleeping while suing for wrongful eviction, without a lawyer and won, the landlord hasn't paid what to him is pocket change, and now the tenant still has to sue again because the tribunal can't enforce their own orders? Welcome to the Americas. I'm so sorry USA Americanism has metastasized so far, so rapidly, infecting Canada, the UK, Oz and everywhere else.
The u.s has this group of big biker guys who accompany abused children and help them testify in court and make them feel safe.
We should do that for tenants, just a group of bikers who will show up to your landlords house with you to collect your money
The* USA could address this legally, no bikers needed, but we won't, because the wealthy and powerful would have consequences, instead of just the poor and disenfranchised. Besides Epstein who "died from suicide," and Maxwell, have you heard any news about anyone else who visited Epstein's Island being charged? How about Matt Gaetz? Or his buddy? What about djt or the Clintons or Bill Gates? Have they even been investigated? No. But there's a biker group who help a few.
*Edited word
maybe it's easier to get more tough guy gangs to stand up to the fascists. i'm down with whatever works. i honestly don't see a way to fix it by working within the system. buy guns.
To me it just sounded like reinventing the mafia with crackdowns and the like. Maybe that's how the right laws actually get placed. Wish it doesn't come to that of course.
Yes
I bet a lot of bikers and gang members are embedded in the system. Money talks. In fact I remember reading in the news a couple of years back where some gang members were threatening to spill the tea on some lawyer-prosecutor-addict-dealer-murderer. They didn't, ofc after he was convicted and sent away, but nothing more was investigated, either.
I grow weary. None of us are perfect but I guess dirty is on a spectrum, like mental illness. If one has enough money and doesn't draw too much of the wrong kind of attention to themselves (and their associates, by default), everything is a-ok, if not and/or one does, one is lucky not to "commit suicide."
