'This Is Not America': SWAT Team Evicts Grandmother, Community Fights Back (Video)

[sasha031]

Day after day, the media and government ignore an ongoing national tragedy: a tsunami of foreclosures is still sweeping millions of Americans out of their homes. As many as three million American families this year will hear a terrifying knock on the door: a law enforcement officer will tell them to get out, because a bank won't work out a fair deal and allow them to stay.But one remarkable grandmother this month refused to go quietly.
And her brave example -- including her willingness to stand up, along with her neighbors, to a SWAT team -- finally got elected officials to intervene.A modern day Rosa Parks, her courage may well spark a national movement.

Grandmother and longtime Rochester resident Catherine Lennon was evicted from her home on March 28.

1. There was something like that in Michael Moore's film,

"Capitalism, a Love Story."

Eventually they gave up trying to evict the grandma.

2. This IS America... recall the Grapes of Wrath

it was fiction, but told a very true story.
