Landlord thought they could pull a kickdoor and discovered there were consequences. Hope Watson gets off with the most lenient punishment but I doubt RI will let that happen.

[Landlord] and two other people, including her brother, had climbed some stairs to approach the man's apartment door, which someone kicked in during the exchange, Lapatin said.

"There were some weapons we believe that were in the possession of the people entering," said Lapatin, who did not specify who was armed.

Way to bury the fucking lead providence journal, this should read "Man defends self from armed vigilante squad"

The craziest part is the local cops would surely have been happy to perform the eviction for her if it was a legal eviction, that's like half of what they do. The landlord had terminal Americabrain (tm) and wanted to do it themselves, illegally.

passive fucking voice

Passive voice and we know exactly what weapon the guy had (a scary ghost gun!) but every action and weapon of the attackers remains shrouded in mystery

im sure the police and press will handle this whole situation very well
