A man in New York has been described online as entitled after attempting to claim ownership of a home that did not belong to him.
In the video, the person filming, who appears to be the homeowner or related to the owners, said that this was the second time the man had come to the house to claim ownership. He also described the situation as a scam.
The man was holding papers that were allegedly fake, which he claimed proved he owned the house. He began telling the residents that he was there to conduct an inspection. The cameraman responded, “Ain’t no inspection. You don’t own the house. Get out of here. You don’t own nothing.”
The man then claimed that the papers he had were a court order requiring the residents to vacate the house. The cameraman responded, “Fake [expletive] court order,” and continued to tell the man to leave. He also mentioned that the police had previously been called and took no action, suggesting that the man had attempted to assert control over the house before.
Regarding the man’s identity, some online users assumed he was Jewish based on his hairstyle, appearance, and the kippah he was wearing. In response, the cameraman stated that they did not care about his hat and emphasized that they were not going to tolerate the situation. The video ended at that point, with no further details about what happened next.
The video is gaining attention because it shows an individual attempting to take over a house using papers that were allegedly fake. The incident sparked discussion about the security of people’s homes and raised concerns online about potential scam attempts targeting homeowners.
Reactions to the New York Man Trying to Take Over a House
The video sparked reactions online. Many viewers expressed shock at the actions of the New York man. One wrote, “I’m so disturbed. I keep seeing this happened there are people FIGHTING tooth and nail to get their homes back. There are too many crooked thieves serving as lawyers and judges.” Another posted a controversial comment, saying, “He saw all the property theft in Gaza and said to himself ‘I wanna try that here!’” A third added, “‘If it works in the West Bank it’ll work back in NYC! Millionaire landlord status here I come!’”
Similar incidents have reportedly happened to others. One person shared, “There’s a mentally ill guy in our community who shows up each fiscal quarter like clockwork to claim he owns our house. He’s not violent, just delusional. Eventually he says the Attorney General gave him the deed and then he says he’s the Attorney General. This guy, however, if it’s true that the sheriffs refused to evict the tenants, is just harassing them? Pretty brave for a shul boy.”
The video generated significant controversy, particularly due to assumptions made about the man’s religion and the nature of his actions.
