A community organization breaks into a foreclosed home in what they are calling an act of civil disobedience.

The group wants to train homeowners facing eviction on peaceful ways they can remain in their homes.

Derek Valcourt reports their actions are not without controversy.

Near Patterson Park, the padlock on the door and the sign in the window tells part of Donna Hanks foreclosure story.

?The mortgage went up $300 in one month,? said Hanks, former homeowner.

She says the bank refused to modify her loan and foreclosed, kicking her out of the house in September.

The community group ACORN calls Hanks a victim of predatory lending.

?This is our house now,? said Louis Beverly, ACORN.

And on Thursday afternoon, they literally broke the foreclosure padlock right off the front door and then broke into the house, letting Hanks back in for the first time in months.

Taxpayer-subsidized anarchy is on the way.

ACORN should call Hanks an ignorant borrower. Who the hell gets an adjustable rate when rates are at historic lows! Hell yeh the mortgage will go up.

Technically ignorant, yes, but that's a crappy attitude.
I bet I could explain all sorts of things to you that you've never heard before about mortgages. Almost everyone is somwhat ignorant, it just varies on how much. Last I knew there were no mortgage classes in high school or college so who do you think most went to for help? Unfortunately they went to the people who had no financial reward or interest in getting them into a good situtation.

so this makes it right for them to say it is their house, so they don't have to leave after they don't make their payments??

It makes it predatory lending, not matter how much you'd like to deny that fact.

This brand new, never-before-seen ACORN guilty-by-association angle is a game changer. Had Repundits used this during the election, the Democrats would have suffered a tremendous defeat.

The GOP should build up a nice portfolio of character attacks to use in 2012. Maybe do a little research on Obama's pastor, his estranged aunt, his half-brother, maybe a few references to Islam, throw it all against the wall and see what sticks.

Yeah big government intruding on your lives, that's why you're so conservative. Police state tactics are your MO.

But you need to be honest with yourselves, the reason that R's hate ACORN is because they register minority voters which is a threat to the Republican party.

A nation of cowards indeed.

What do you think? The level of retardation in P&N has hit an all-time high. They will just continue marginalizing themselves until they have lost a few more elections and maybe then they will wake up to the fact that most people hate them and what they stand for.

Yes because we need more voters that want the government to hand feed them everything and give more government control over everythign as well.

If they are to stupid/lazy to get out, it's their own fault.

Trespassing is a crime. Enforcing this law would not be "police state tactics." You can tell yourself that all you want, it wont make it so.

Why dont you join them if you feel so strongly?

So the people taking out the loans shouldn't put forth the effort required to be responsible for their own actions? You can call it whatever the hell you want but people have a duty to themselves to be sure they read and fully understand anything they are about to sign especially when it comes to a freaking 30 year investment.
