Elderly Couple Losing Home...

This definitely falls under the WTF?!?! category.

James A. Lindsay II is a bastard. Who is this you ask? Until today I'd never heard of him either. While I was perusing Bravo TV's website I came across the story of an elderly couple in Louisiana who are under the threat of losing the home they've owned since 1963 because of a clerical error back in 1997.

Their home was sold by the Louisiana Tax Commission for non-payment of taxes. The catch? Their unpaid taxes totaled $1.63. That's right - One dollar and 63 cents. The postal service had changed everyone's addresses after putting in a 9-1-1 system, so the tax bill was returned because the address was no good. The house was sold out from underneath them without their knowledge or the knowledge that they even owed anything.

James A Lindsay II is the man who purchased the property. This man's heart is so miniscule, if it exists at all, that he has tied their property up in the courts for 10 years now. Nobody is occupying the home now which has fallen in disrepair. The couple doesn't qualify for aid because their title isn't free and clear right now. Everyone who has heard the case has overturned the purchase, yet he still pursues it. He is now planning on taking it to the state Supreme Court.

It makes me wonder what happened to him in his life to make him want to put an elderly couple out of the home they've owned free and clear for 40 years. He is a miserable excuse for a human being who has spent $20,000 in court costs in his pursuit.

What the FUCK?!?!?!?!
