    While I can try and understand your position. These people basically stole his investment. Arson and murder is not the correct solution.

      Evicting them is the correct solution, and if that is too hard for him then maybe he is in the wrong business.

      You mean he threatened to withhold shelter if they didn’t pay him protection money?

      That sounds fucked of him.
