Building tries evicting residents over video

When you think things can't get any weirder, they always do...

A corporation that owns an apartment complex in Canton, Mississippi, is trying to evict dozens of residents because they filmed a rap video out in front of the building.

Needless to say, the building owner has no legal leg to stand on. I shouldn't even have to tell you this. Although the complex is private property, the court system cannot be a party to squelching free expression by allowing the residents to be evicted. The bounds of what the law allows are reasonably clear here.

Still - although Occupy Wall Street is making inroads - I can't guarantee justice will prevail in this case. The corporate rootkit that aggravates economic and social injustice is entrenched. The American people are broke largely because we allow too many bailouts and tax breaks for Big Business.
