back when I was a kid, we wrapped out feet in old newspapers and duct tape... and we were happy about it... 🌫

Revolutionary War soldiers wrapped their feet in rags. Their actions helped to form what we now know as The United States of America.

This little thief deserves whatever the punishment is.

Too bad...so sad. Time to buck up!

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
Its another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or hell grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray chicago mornin,
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

It's an ice cold fact that the majority of the ghettos in America are Democratic Party strongholds. They keep voting them in for their free crap. They ignore the damage they're doing and cry foul about those mean ol Republicans when in fact they're voting for the party that enslaved them to their poor demise!

No Welfare in CO. No money and no freebie subsidy here. No offense but it helps keep the "riff-raff" at bay.

Understand the reason and the justification for the clause in the Rental Lease, but does seem a bit extreme for a 1st-time youth offender. The topic is actually being discussed in my son's middle school Social Sciences/Politics class.

One would hope it was childhood stupidity that taught him a lesson.

Apartment complex leases with similar provisions are used by landlords to get rid of the drug dealers, public drunkards and/druggies, loiterers, property thieves and the like, whose presence presents a risk to the landlord and other tenants. The calls I have received over the years have never been about a whole family being evicted, but instead just the offender.

Nothing like the joy of a city and neighbors telling you a tenet is a thug and a drug dealer and expecting you to just throw them out. Meanwhile they are not paying the rent and wrecking the place. I don't blame the landlord one bit, but even the most draconian lease will not protect you from losing money. I have one rental house and another one up for sale, I used to have four. As as soon as the last one is empty I will sell it too. Unless you have your own thugs and repair staff on retainer, never get into the house/apartment rental business run like hell. It will suck the very last bit of good will right out of you.

There is legal risk/liability for not throwing them out when you know they are a danger to people and things who enter onto your property. The lease isn't intended to force rental payment, but to try to minimize future risk of legal liability and risk of loss of payment of rent. I have seen these clauses in both private and government owned projects and apartments. Don't know of any in a lease for a home. I'd have such a clause in every single rental property I owned- if I had any...

As someone that has learned the hard and expensive way, I agree 100%. However it solves the problem of bad renters like making drugs illegal solved the drug problem. Even if you win a judgement all you get is the satisfaction of, well, wining the judgement. Chances are you will never get anything back from the renters. Honestly, short of being allowed to throw someone out on their azz and their crap in the street, (thugs required), it sucks to be a landlord. Even then you will need to spend money getting the place presentable again. High end rentals are not much better. It gets complicated when a relatively sane person rents the place but later chooses to lead the ho life and the live in/drop by boyfriend/pimp/abuser guy is the real problem.

If someone proposes the rental business to you, they are not your friend, you need to run like opposite direction.
