Don't be so quick to play the race card. That's how conservatives try to slam the 'liberal agenda'.

But yeah, I honestly wonder how that story would have went down had that guy been white.

Adverse Possession usually requires that you stay there for twenty years before you can claim ownership. He's just at the beginning of the process.

Weird that Texas apparently lowered it to three years, though.

Here's a breakdown of Texas AP law.

It looks like he just filed a claim for title, claiming it was abandoned; the former owners now have three years to claim it and would definitely win a lawsuit. The three-year figure (rather than the ten under the catch-all statute) looks like it kicks in right now, since he's now got some form of enforceable deed, even if the original owners' claim is superior to his own. Had he not filed, he'd still be able to make an AP claim after the ten years were up. He seems pretty confident nobody will throw him out; I'm not as confident, but I'm sure he's done more research on the issue than I have, and after all, if he's right then the house would just sit there until the end of time anyway.

There is literally no reason for the neighbors to be mad at this dude other than simply not knowing that AP exists for exactly this reason, or racism.

In fairness, it's also possible that it's simply good-old fashioned green-eyed jealousy.

I was going to say. He achieved through legal wriggling what others toil for years to do.

Jealousy is something you conceal and suppress until it comes out in a drunken flurry at the Christmas block party, not something you call the cops and local news over.

There are rules!

And now, the... Thuggie?

WTF, Canada.

What's going to happen when the inventors are strangled to death by Kali-worshipers?

People Think "You Mad Bro?" Is racist

"NAACP thinks 'YOU MAD, BRO' is racist."

EDIT:
Because the word "Bro" is racist.

I can't believe they spelled it wrong.

Meanwhile, it's still called the National Associated for the Advancement of Colored People.

They prefer to be called people of color now.

NAAPOC sounds an awful lot like the kind of mesoamerican deity people used to get their hearts removed to appease

maybe had a bizarre sport in his honor

Now all I can think of is the way the kids on the Quebec TF2 server will say - in as dignified a manner as possible - "My brother; are you angry?"

McDohl · « **Reply #2877 on:** September 05, 2011, 09:51:14 PM »

That just makes them sound like condescending Christians.

Which is even more awesome.

Jack White, the singer/guitarist of the White Stripes has started yet another collaboration!

I think it is safe to say that as a species, we have now officially defeated music in battle.

I think Büge's response to that is the most appropriate one there could be.
