So let me get this straight, I go to the grocery store and buy a pound of sliced ham in a plastic bag, a loaf of bread in a plastic bag, a gallon of milk in a plastic jug, a pack of napkins in plastic wrap, a store-made salad in a plastic 1 tub, a plastic bottle of mustard and ketchup, but they wonโt give me a plastic bag to carry at home because the plastic bag is bad for the environment?

Flash Shelton, also known as โSquatter Hunter" fights squatters by moving in with them and making the situation so uncomfortable that they leave, helping homeowners retake control.
Flash Shelton was grieving his father and trying to sell his mother's vacant California home when he got the call. Strangers had moved in.
Police told him it was a civil matter and there was nothing they could do. So he figured out how to become their squatter.
Shelton signed a lease from his mother to establish legal tenancy, drove 19 hours, camped outside waiting for the squatters to leave, then went in, secured the back door, installed cameras, and waited for them to return.
When they came back they found him already inside, legally. That method became the foundation of his entire business.
Once hired, his team secures a short-term lease from the homeowner, moves in alongside the squatters, and makes daily life uncomfortable, taking over common areas, playing loud music, and maintaining constant presence, until the intruders choose to leave voluntarily.
"What I used to save my mom's house, I am now using to help homeowners across the country," he said. "I've built a whole team ready to out-squat the squatters."
The legal genius of it is simple, squatters exploit the same tenant protection laws that protect genuine renters. Shelton just decided to use those same laws against them.
Samuel L. Jackson has long said his favorite movie heโs starred in is the 1996 action-thriller 'The Long Kiss Goodnight.' Turns out his co-star Geena Davis feels likewise.
โItโs my favorite too,โ Davis tells Deadline. โIโm supposed to say Thelma & Louise because that movie is irreplaceable, but I have to say, I had so much fun with Sam and weโve always wished that we could do a sequelโ

You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever.
There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.
