As we’ve been talking about on The Victoria Taft Show,  the Occupiers are taking a page out of the ACORN playbook and beginning to squat in foreclosed homes.
Portland Police flushed out a bunch of squatters in a home in NE Portland a week ago Friday and yesterday was the latest bust.
The “rationale” used to steal other people’s property is revealed on their new website called, “Unsettle Portland,”

“We want to explicitly acknowledge that there are currently people and groups who are organizing to take foreclosed houses and to redistribute them.”

Well isn’t that nice. They want to “redistribute” the home of somebody who couldn’t afford it and give it to people who have no intention of paying for it.
Here are some other reasons given on their website:

• to be housing for evicted families and people otherwise shut-out by the 1%
• to make available focused environments for organizers to work together and co-strategize
• to create welcoming and safer spaces to be used as community hubs
• to host much-needed community services: legal aid, health clinics, childcare, and more…
• to sustainably and beautifully tend and improve the physical structures that host these activities

And finally they just want to stick it to “the man.”
