Oh Dahlin'. You forgot to throw in your usual tantrum about how Trump being heterosexual makes him a pervert.

Wasn't that exactly the point. You allow criminals in your home providing a nucleus for their activities, and you get punished, too, by proxy. Harboring a criminal is BEING a criminal.

Except they weren't harboring a criminal, they were taking care of a youth in need of a home, probably out of some misguided effort to rehabilitate him.

An Illinois family let a 19 year old friend of their son stay with them when he became homeless. They kicked him out after he stole from them, and burglarized a nearby restaurant.
And then the family got an eviction notice.
But it didn’t come from the landlord, it came from the local cops. They were enforcing an ordinance which requires private landlords to evict all the occupants of a home when any inhabitant commits a crime.
Even though this young man was a house guest who victimized them as well, the family will be punished for his crimes.
The family’s landlord says they are model tenants, and he does not want to evict them. So he joined their lawsuit against the city.
With the help of the Institute for Justice, the family is suing to protect their due process rights, so that they won’t be punished for someone else’s crime.
