ACORN Mob to Banks: “This is our house now!”

I guess it’s just a coincidence that ACORN begins breaking into foreclosed homes just days after receiving billions in taxpayer money from Barack Obama.

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. [LINK via MM]
