The war of words continues in the letters to the editor page of the Daily Camera regarding the “adverse possession II” case. It doesn’t appear there’s the same sense of outrage for the Marshall/Salim case as there was for the Kirlin/Steven & McLean case.
One interesting point Bill Hollandor makes in his letter is:
When the Salims requested she put the fence back up she responded by calling the police on a trespassing charge against Mohammad Salim (since dismissed by Judge Montgomery). In order to avoid another such unpleasant incident the Salims have essentially ceased using their own back yard for the past two years.
The local Fox News channel had some video taken from Dana Marshall’s house. From that video it appears to me that there is significant vegetation that blocks direct viewing of the Salim’s back yard. Assuming my interpretation of the video was valid, if taking down the fence rendered his back yard unusable, that seems a little scary to me. Perhaps Mr. Salim’s privacy expectations are too great for living in the City? I’ve tried to find the video again and even sent an e-mail to the station but no luck.
Then there’s a letter from Dana Marshall herself. As mentioned elsewhere, she is organizing a rally and is inviting people to attend and looking for volunteers.
I need property rights supporters to contact me. I’m in the phone book. Call me or go to www.landgrabber.org. We are organizing a rally. I need someone with computer skills, musicians, comedians and politicians who will take a stand. If you have talent, or simply care, come forward. Come to the first meeting of the Boulder Property Rights Coalition on: Wednesday, July 2, at the Boulder Public Library Main Branch (11th and Arapahoe), from 7 to 9 p.m.
