At 4:30 am on December 27, 2012, over 200 members of “Law Enforcement”, including some 50 LA county sheriffs deputies, and more than 150 LAPD officers descended on 14620 Leadwell St. in Van Nuys. They brought with them the implied violence of firearms, armored vehicles, tear gas, and full riot gear, all to throw one family out into the street and end the longest post-eviction foreclosure defense in California history.

That morning, on Sherman way and Van Nuys blvd., one block away from the Hernandez home, a homeless woman was set on fire at the bus bench that had been her spot for years. Even though 200 sworn officers were just down the block, a civilian had to chase down the attacker, and hold him for 30 minutes till the police arrived because the police were too busy with their eviction plan to make more people homeless.

Everybody's Home

A New Movement for Fighting Eviction

by LESLIE RADFORD

In the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Van Nuys in northeast Los Angeles, houseless people like JoJo have barricaded themselves for more than ninety days inside the property line of the home of Hernandez family, aspiring to the fabled “middle-class,” to prevent the family’s imminent foreclosure eviction.

True confession: I bought a foreclosed home & put a family on the street.

       It's one of the most diabolical and hideous evils throughout the history of mankind—just outright stealing people's homes. If the banks were honest, and the lawmakers were honest ... then a person's home would be sold to pay the debt and the remainder of the money returned to the home owner.    -David J Stewart

Thank you Occupy The Hood and Occupy Los Angeles!

Great job everybody! Ms Parks and all of us living in Los Angeles are blessed to be able to have someone to turn to. These days are not only hard times, but these hard times are compressed by unfairness from illegal bank actions that lead to wrongful foreclosures.
