No home in America is safe from criminals in Kamala Harris\u2019s home state of California.<\/p>\n
Squatters have completely taken over a massive Los Angeles mansion in the posh neighborhood of Hollywood Hills, turning what was once a gorgeous house into a graffiti-ridden eyesore. Moreover, lawful homeowners in the area are being threatened by their unwanted new \u2018neighbors,\u2019 and some have already been harmed. <\/strong><\/p>\n As The New York Post notes<\/a>, the graffiti \u2018art\u2019 features a grinning heart character \u201cstanding\u201d the entire height of the home surrounded by \u201ctags.\u201d These are squatters\u2019 names and initials sprayed on in different fonts and colors.<\/p>\n Neighbors explained <\/a>to NBC Los Angeles that the house has been vacant for approximately a decade, but squatters started moving in slightly less than two years ago. Then, over the last week, graffiti began appearing on the mansion.<\/p>\n Below is a video report showing the devastation wrought by these leechers.<\/p>\n WATCH:<\/p>\n\n One neighbor, Mateo Herrerros, told<\/a> NBC Los Angeles that the squatters are now targeting other houses, and they feel threatened.<\/p>\n \u201cThe guys who come tag, they\u2019re tagging other houses on other properties,\u201d Herrerros explained. \u201cI couldn\u2019t care less about this house. It\u2019s an abandoned house. The owner doesn\u2019t care about it. I don\u2019t really care about it. It\u2019s just the element it brings.\u201d<\/p>\n Another neighbor also revealed that residents are also under attack from unwanted squatters. For example, one of the squatters recently attacked <\/a>a homeowner with a \u201csteel rebar and beer bottle.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n NBC Los Angeles reported<\/a> on Friday that the LAPD has responded to incidents at the property four times in the last two days. WPVI revealed <\/a>that police removed ten people on Wednesday and arrested one person on a warrant.<\/p>\n But one neighbor said <\/a>the police told them their hands were tied when it came to solving the squatter problem due to the actions of the absent homeowner.<\/p>\n KTLA obtained<\/a> a public records search showing that the home belongs to John Middleton, the son of the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team owner. The outlet revealed that the search shows Middleton hasn\u2019t paid taxes in years, and the property has a lien.<\/p>\n NBC Los Angeles also revealed<\/a> the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety declared the property a nuisance and ordered Middleton to build a fence and secure the property in Oct. 2022. He refused, so the city erected the fence instead.<\/p>\n Middleton also reportedly<\/a> owns another Hollywood Hills home that is also heavily targeted by squatters.<\/p>\n Councilmember Nithya Raman called the house a \u201cpublic safety issue\u201d and demanded Middleton take action but refused to condemn the squatters in a statement <\/a>released by her office:<\/p>\n Our office has been in close contact with the Los Angeles Police Department as well as the Department of Building and Safety regarding the ongoing situation at 7571 Mulholland Drive. An abatement order was previously issued by DBS, and subsequently ignored by the property owner. While DBS secured the property with fencing, that security measure was breached.<\/p>\n This owner is in egregious violation of the law and we are elevating the issue with the abandoned buildings unit at the Department of Building and Safety to ensure that the fullest extent of enforcement is being implemented urgently and swiftly. This is a public safety issue with serious consequences for both neighbors and the surrounding community. Irresponsible property owners like the one at 7571 Mulholland Drive must take accountability for their property or face action from the city.<\/p>\n The post KAMALA\u2019S AMERICA: Violent Squatters Take Over Massive Mansion in Wealthy Los Angeles Neighborhood and Turn it into a Total Dump While Attacking Neighbors (VIDEO)<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Squatters have turned a formerly beautiful mansion into a graffiti-ridden dump.
