A handyman from Northern California knew exactly what he had to do after squatters moved into his mother’s vacant home. In a video posted to social media, Flash Shelton showed how he arrived at his mother’s home armed to the teeth with guns and moved in while the squatters were out of the house running errands or doing something of the sort.
In the viral video, Flash Shelton moved into his mother’s home by arming himself with firearms and just pushing himself through the door while the squatters were out of the house. He uploaded the video to social media to show how he successfully booted the squatters from his mother’s vacant home by squatter there himself and moving into the abode while the squatters were out of the house doing something else with their time.
“If they could take a house, then I could take a house,” Shelton said. He is a paying member of the United Handyman Association and was furious that squatters had broken into his mother’s home while it was vacant and tried to take it for themselves despite what they should have done, which was looking for a place of their own.
“They’re the squatter, and they have rights. Well, then, if I become the squatter on the squatter, then I should have rights, right?” Shelton, who is white, said in the video. He showed up armed to the teeth and broke into his mother’s vacant home, which was being occupied by squatters. He went into the property while the squatters were out of the house, and he was able to set up camp inside the home and show the squatters that he meant business every day, all day.
Shelton uploaded the video of himself squatting on the squatters to the YouTube channel that he operates. He titled the video “How I removed squatters in less than a day,” and his video, which has only been on YouTube for about two months, has already received more than three million three hundred thousand views and counting.
Shelton wrote in the video description, “A family of Squatters broke in the back door and moved into my mom’s vacant house, and the Sheriffs wouldn’t do anything about it since the house had furniture and they made themselves at home, and I had heard horror stories about how the legal system gives the squatter more rights than the homeowner, so I decided to come up with a way on my own to get them out in less than a day. Here is my story. I don’t suggest that everyone take a chance as I did on their own. It’s worth noting that I have had special training and a license to carry and was prepared for whatever situation was to arise. The men and women I had to deal with remained peaceful and that may not always be the case. If you ever have a situation like this, it is best to expect the worst, and you will be prepared.”
What do you think about this man’s method of squatting on the squatters?
