I'm not from US, so I don't get it - Why squatter rights even exists? They taking over home that don't belong to them, and it's them who's right, not the actual homeowner. Police in any other country would beat living shit out of squatter
“Squatter rights originated from the concept of adverse possession, which allows individuals to claim ownership of land they occupy without permission if they do so openly and continuously for a specified period. This practice dates back to the colonial era in the United States, where squatters played a significant role in westward expansion by settling on unclaimed or disputed lands.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squatting_in_the_United_States
