Double Naught... is there a separate news story you can reference? I don't see anything in the links given that supports your statement.
"Right, it was suggested above that Lewis sue his landlord for his eviction. Given that Lewis did not meet his contractual obligations in paying rent, the landlord felt Lewis had defaulted (which he had)"
First article says eviction proceedings began 2 weeks after the incident, and NOT for Non-payment.
"One week after the shooting, a lawyer for Regency Woods typed up a notice that eventually was posted on the door of Lewis’ apartment. It described Lewis as a “clear and present danger to the health or safety of the other tenants.” As evidence, it cited Lewis’ involvement in “an assault with a weapon within 1,000 feet of the property described above” and the fact that he’d been arrested because of it.
Court papers were filed Nov. 14 to have Lewis evicted."
Double Naught- "He got his .380 back because it was held by the police. His other guns likely won't be returned to him because they were likely liquidated so that the landlord could recover lost rent and expenses surrounding the eviction and reletting of the apartment."
The guns were not Liquidated, the police officer who let the Jailed fellow know that his stuff was on the curb collected the firearms for him on November 30th. He called first to ask if there were any family that could collect his possessions before they were stolen. The landlord only posted on his door, and as he couldn't post bail, he never knew about this before the 30th.
"Lewis learned about all this at roughly 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 30. One jail guard led him to another, who was on the phone. The deputy serving the eviction warrant wanted to know if Lewis had any relatives who could get Lewis’ belongings off the 11th Street curb.
"The evicting deputy seized four handguns, three rifles, a shotgun and a machete that had been left in the apartment. But all his clothing and furniture disappeared on Nov. 30, along with a laptop containing the only copy of his fourth novel (a western)."

Just watched the Video, (meant not chasing the baby... rarely happens) He apparently even had arranged for his mother to pay his rent in November, the landlord just wanted him out. Period.
Very much within their rights, but having evicted a few folks (or at least being the bearer of bad news) on my Great-Grandmother's behalf... I would have at least forwarded the eviction notice to the Jail.
