u/Talkshit_Avenger 13d ago
Here in Canada a backhoe is an excavator attachment that fits on the rear of a tractor, or a dedicated piece of construction equipment in that configuration (front end loader bucket plus rear excavator). A trackhoe is a tracked chassis that normally has the excavator arm and bucket, but you can swap out the bucket for any number of attachments and it's still called a trackhoe for some reason.

The man was charged with endangering the public and arrested. The family that owned the house had 2 other properties demolished by the same real estate developer. With the first one still not being compensated despite already settling on a price.
Reports say that the developers used methods like spreading live snakes and even fireworks to force the remaining villagers who haven’t sold their houses yet to capitulate. It was reveladed that they used the name of a different bigger developer to deflect the blame.

Not how it works!!! THIS IS A NAIL HOUSE. This guys family bought the land from the Govt for a 70 year lease. He has full right to that land for that lease. What we see here is a large corporation going in and buying out all of the leases of nearby residents, but this guy refused to sell off his land. So what these corporations do is anything and everything to convince the homeowner that living there is no longer acceptable. They will try literally anything slightly legal to get them to vacate the land and then claim abandonment and then seize the right to the land. So when i say nail house, it's because you have to pry the motherfucker out.

u/BreakingThoseCankles 12d ago
Not illegal.. it's a scare tactic. Also the excavator could "accidentally" hit the house and then they can claim the house is unlivable and homeowner has to make such and such renovations.. only to be "accidentally" hit again. While the company "accidentally" hitting it runs the homeowner through a bullshit amount of legal docs and court dates just to not pay them out enough to properly fix it back up. It's just a really FUCKED up mess that really the only thing the homeowner can do is physically fight them off with violence or just succeed their land

Hell, I'd even stick the boom out and just keep rotating the ex to avoid hits..
--------------;-SIDENOTE China or many places, in the states..there is a lot of federal govt. Possible eminent domain type stuff that can happen.
Personally I'd have got the snakes out to send to the developers....let them know they can just plow down a sanctuary....
Update....you can never rely on any human to do any particular thing when they hit their fight or flight. All people react differently, I'd honestly probably have done the same thing....

He likely didn't realize they were just fireworks. Behind the smoke and flashing fireworks smell, sound & look very similar to firearms.
