Women Tired Of 'White People Moving In' Force Tenants To Move Out At Gunpoint: Cops

Gentrification may have been the catalyst behind an alleged Brooklyn robbery.

The New York Daily News reports that Precious Parker, 30, and Sabrina James, 23, are accused of squatting in an apartment in the Flatbush neighborhood after kicking out three tenants.

The roommates -- two men and one woman -- were held at gunpoint before Parker and James allegedly forced them out on Thursday.

I don't know how they thought they would get away with it by squatting in the apartment afterwards.

I'm at work on my lunch break so it opened up no problem for me. I don't have a smart phone so don't know how they are effected by websites.

The text is usually a different color and links back, in this case, to a Daily News story.

Huffpost has a lot of animations and crap that load, it's hell for slow connections and smart phones.

Personally, I don't like them getting ad revenue for stealing other sources content and prefer the original sources get the traffic.
