Imagine losing your home for trying to defend your daughter from a stranger basically at your house, probably owned by people out of touch with reality because they have to much money.
Wasn’t this place listed as a hazard before. They say the police go to this complex so much, because of murders and robberies. They are upset that help kept himself from being a RIP victim in a danger zone?
it is very unfortunate for him .. he isn't getting evicted for defending himself ..he is getting evicted because he's on government property with a gun ..that is what's really happening .. government housing properties doesn't allow any firearms on their property..not even if it's to defend yourself
If this is the whole story, where is the common sense. If he defended himself, then he should be able to stay. If he is apart of criminal activity, see you later alligator.
People!!! Google the Rules that landlords have to follow when they want federal funding for section 8 housing. They're VERY strict and specific . If not followed they will lose the funding .
Section 8 housing is a federally funded program. It specifically says the tenants and visitors can't own or have any weapons on that property. IF the landlords don't enforce that federal rule they'll lose the money for that program.
Landlords don't like police attention to their property. Relationship abuse victims often get evicted because the abuser causes issues and brings attention the landlords don't want. That makes it even harder for abuse victims to have safe housing. These are victim blaming situations.
Every apt community I've lived in has had a no weapons, no criminal activity addendum to the lease. It's not a house- there are other people adjacent where a bullet could go through their wall or something. That being said, this man is at a disadvantage if he's unarmed in his own community.

Bruh gonna own the building when an attorney gets done with them. Highly unconstitutional to attempt to restrict folks from a second amendment right.

Give you odds they raise the rent on his apartment.

They do nothing to keep their residents safe, but punish you for defending yourself. That sums up the city of St. Louis in a nutshell.
I hope the young man sues, wheres the probono lawyers at?
They should have gave him a free month rent!

Stl is a communist territory.
Stay out of it.
Citizens have a right to defend themselves
Must we have three four five different people tell us the one story
Poor guy. He’s been through enough
