Ex-Cons Squatting in Soldier’s Home Defiantly Stay Put — But Their Tune Rapidly Changes After Outraged Biker Veterans Promise a hostile Visit



Army Spc. Michael Sharkey and his wife haven’t lived in their New Port Richey house since Sharkey was deployed to Afghanistan two years ago. Now the couple lives in Hawaii where Sharky is stationed.

                                                                       The soldier

However, while away, squatters apparently broke in, changed the locks, and refused to leave.
Julio Ortiz and his girlfriend, Fatima Cardoso, told WFLA-TV in Tampa that they had a verbal “contract” with a friend of Sharkey’s — who agreed to look after the house — to do work on the property in exchange for staying there. Lisa Pettus, Sharkey’s friend, denied Ortiz’s claim, saying she hired him to do work, never agreed to let him live there, and never left them alone in the house.
Ortiz spent a dozen years in prison in New Jersey for robbery, car jacking and selling drugs on school property; Cardorso spent more than two years in prison on drug charges.
What’s more Ortiz was arrested three times in Pasco County last year on minor charges while Cardoso got busted there seven times on drug charges since 2011.
Why is this history no surprise?


The scum














 Sharkey tried going through law enforcement to remove Ortiz and Cardoso, but that turned out to be in vain — sheriffs said it’s a civil matter and would take a court order to evict them since they established residency.

Outraged,  two Tampa motorcycle clubs filled with veterans began planning to ride over to the Sharkey residence on Sunday “and peacefully make the squatters uncomfortable.”

With that, Ortiz started packing up, noting the planned biker visit was one of the reasons he and Cardoso were leaving.
Looks like when the system that is supposed to protect you just shrugs it's shoulders and leaves, it is time for self help.  The scum and his slug mate are lucky they weren't evicted with shotguns and shovels, which would have been proper justice.

  2. It would be a shame if anything happened to them. Just sayin'.

    The irony is that the squatters would understand perfectfully how justice would land on them with both feet. They would do the same under similar circumstances.

    1. I call it self help. We organize the government to help us keep a law abiding society beneficial for everyone, but if the government refuses to do what we hired them to do, the responsibility falls back on us.
