Over the past couple of months a strange situation had come to a head at the safehouse, a pretty long runnin squat from my understanding around the corner more or less from hellarity, mentioned earlier on this forum concerning the new residents from wretchedryan

and by the way ryan, Im sorry yall had a shitty time, I was the kid that let yall in and thought yall should be as welcome to the house as anyone who was staying there but it is true there was sort of an anti traveler mentality there and a shitty elitist attitude regarding kids passin thru..
While I was there a family of pissed off muslims who had recently obtained ownership of the property ended up invading the house on two occasions first time with 20+ folks, a few of them over six foot goons who smashed the place up, the second with over 40 people, many of them children who insulted residents and stole whatever they wanted. It was fucking weird. During the first incident one squatter called the police and one traveler made a statement sending one of the family members to jail. Because of that support from the bay area anarchists was gone and the house was regarded as shelter for snitches. During the second "invasion" there were only a few of us in the house, and they quickly moved us all out and destroyed the interior. Most kids who were all gung ho political about the house and then callin the cops were not even there and those of us who had nothing to do with that shit caught the shitty end of the stick when we got ran up on.
I cant explain it too well I suppose, but here is an account of what happend including a flaming comment war with the squatters and supporters and a member or two of that fucking family.
