FORECLOSURES: Sheriff Refuses to Evict

Found this article today and just wanted to say that this actually gave me a reason to smile for about 30 seconds. There are honorable human beings left in this in-human world we now live in. But will the government allow this to go on - I think not. Sadly, we are all in for a very rough winter and beyond. Our lives, our children's lives will NEVER be normal (you know, get a job, get an education, buy a home, have a family and live happily-ever-after) again.

By suspending some foreclosure evictions, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is throwing down a challenge to judges who order evictions and banks that want to clear out foreclosed homes and put them back on the market.

Dart said he's willing to face contempt-of-court charges for not following eviction orders, but Circuit Court Judge Dorothy Kirie Kinnaird said she won't take that step yet.

"It seems he has communicated more to (the media) than he has to the court," Kinnaird said. "I want to find out what issues they (the sheriff's department) are having."
Dart told reporters at a news conference Wednesday that about one-third of foreclosure evictions in the county affect renters who say they had no idea about the residence being in foreclosure.


"We will no longer be a party to something that's so unjust," a visibly angry Dart said. "We have to be sure that when we are doing this - and we are destroying some people's lives - we better be darned sure we're talking about the right people." .......................................
