Man Demolishes House With SUV So Bank Can't Make a Profit

"As far as I'm concerned I am not done yet. Not until it's laying completely on the ground. ... I decided to destroy it. Why let the bank make a profit off of me after all the money I've put in this house?" -- Steve Doak, New Carlisle, Ohio

We're not done yet either at http://www.michaelmoore.com/

Why are the cops protecting the home? He owns it it can tear it down! oh wait that's right the banks own the cops...

I think people are misunderstanding things.

It might not be illegal to demolish your property in Ohio, but when your demolition can effect bystanders, then there's a problem. If the dude didn't have utilities cut and didn't start demolition in a controlled manner then he's putting others at risk.

It's still his home,let him level that house if he wants and neigbors and cops mind their own freakin home if there lucky even to keep it in this econmoy with Obama Laden in office.

It's NOT illegal to destroy your own house.

The bank does NOT own it until AFTER foreclosure.

Idiots.

Good for that man. He has more balls than 99 percent of you.

Fuck the Jew banks . They've stolen enough!

if you pay a mortgage, the bank owns your home, get over it.

you don't wanna pay a mortgage, and own your house outright, pay cash for your next one.

@peacewavenow Close but wrong speech. He wrote the Gettysburg Address. By the people, for the people was the Constitution. That was before Lincoln. But I like your style!!!

[peacewavenow]

@outlawracer2229 I think the only time it was ever "By the people and for the people" was when Abraham Lincoln needed inspiring words for a speech.

@rocdad well said!!!

@outlawracer2229 - Nearly any venture that is lucretive for the little guy...ie the one man, or mom and pop shops has been politically engineered out of existence as you point out. So when I go out to eat, I find a Mom and Pop place, when I buy home improvement, I go to the local hardware store. When I get the car fixed, I go to a little one or two man shop mechanic.

The most empowering thing we can do is realize how we feed the corporate machine and stop doing it. There are alternatives.

@pjamesbda Most of your tax dollars go to the salaries of the politians and their "support staff", cops and other over paid idiots that don't do a damn thing. Just so they can write more laws to take away more of our rights. Then they need more geastopo to make sure the laws are enforced.
