I noticed that you published the landlord’s name and home address there at the end. Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel like you’re trying to insinuate that the landlord is somehow responsible for this, at least I feel that you’ve made similar statements previously. That type of thinking is enabling the people actually committing the crimes, by alleviating them of the responsibility of their own decisions and actions. BUT my point in writing this comment in the first place was to let you know that; in this case the landlord HAD been attempting to remove the tenant P. Sheehan from his building since July of 2018 through the Southeast Housing Court. The case is still active. So if you want to ACTUALLY offer solutions to this problem maybe we should start taking a look at why it is so difficult to remove tenants who are engaging in illegal activity….
