What Makes Frankie an Unsuccessful Squatter?

My drama seems at an end now. I think (I hope) my squatter Frankie won’t come back to my property anymore. That’s all I want. Today I just collapsed. I was so stressed and nervous for the past 2 months long. If this battle continues, my health couldn’t bear it. I was diagnosed with a serious illness last July and had to have major surgery 2 times in last August. I’m still in recovery stage, and Frankie was a great pressure for my health. But my soul can’t allow Frankie’s unfair and ugly acts.

Despite my personal suffering and agony, I still consider it’s American beauty. In what county can a squatter call the police because the owner cut the grass? In what county can a squatter claim a right to the garden? Frankie even threw fuel on me at midnight. What does Frankie have more to do? America still has a rich soil where every seed is allowed to grow. Some people may ask how such things happen in this civilized country? I would answer it’s possible because it’s America. It’s not an issue of America’s rich soil, but an issue of each individual’s seed.

Squatters exist in many developed and developing countries. They may believe they have a right to make use of abandoned/unoccupied property for their survival. But I don’t think most would act like my squatter Frankie Walton. I know there might be some worse squatters than Frankie. But Frankie always intentionally harassed and hurt me. When I think back now, I realize Frankie might have believed that he would possess the property forever if he successfully harasses me and makes me give up.

Now Frankie is an unsuccessful squatter. The reason is simple. Frankie Walton was NOT a genuine & innocent squatter. We cannot live only by eating honey. Life demand us some level of sweat and hard work. If you want to squat, you need to confirm if the property was abandoned and perform your duty & responsibility - taking care of the property- as a resident. If your neighbors know you work hard to take care of the property, they’ll like you and you have some credit (of course, don’t say that you’re squatting. Having no money, no place to go, is not a sin. Act like a normal resident.) When the owner comes to you and asks you move out, you have the minimum defense and some basis to deal with them. A genuine & innocent squatter means (1) having no place to go; (2) having no money to buy or rent home; (3) walking into an unoccupied an/or abandoned property; (4) and staying without owner’s permission and without paying rent; (5) but taking care of the property.

I still don’t enter the property to comply with the eviction order. Honestly I don’t expect the inside of the property is fine. I’m ready to fix and clean up. But at least the property is Frankie-free.
