These Innocent Cumberland Residents are Living in Fear of Being Kicked Out of Their Homes

- City officials in Cumberland, MD are destroying the entire Rolling Mill neighborhood to build a chain restaurant and a parking lot. But many of us still live here, and we do not want to go anywhere. Our homes are not for sale, yet we are living with the constant fear that any day the city will knock on our doors and tell us they are taking our homes through eminent domain.
Together, the residents of Rolling Mill have formed the Save Our Homes Alliance to stand up against the Mayor and to fight for the homes we love so much. Check out saverollingmill.com and urge the Mayor and City Council to disavow the use of eminent domain for private development. Thank you for Standing With Us!

The unfortunate unrecognized reality of our system is that you do not own anything. When you purchase property you are buying the right of occupancy contingent upon the payment of rent to the real owners wich is the Government.
which is a fascist government. if you care to look at 952 you can see their fasces on the wall. ruclips.net/video/nyxP68SJYOc/видео.html
And contingent on it being convenient to the owners.
Wrong, patented land cannot be taken period.
only land that has been handed down is private. the claim has to be registered before 1861.
@L Benson when government becomes a private for profit corporation....and we become the unwitting consumers of their "product" which is "regulation".. its called "fascism".
This is not the purpose of imminent domain cities and counties need to be sued.
Liberal judges on SCOTUS made that impossible. They ruled that "Public Use" actually means "public benefit." That means that government can come in and condemn the property, force the owner to take pennies on the dollar, give the property to politically connected private developers for private gain. The "benefit" being the promise to pay more property taxes.
The developers will come in ans initially offer at most $0.70 on the $1 with the threat of using eminent domain to take it for $0.10 on the $1 after it has been condemned.
But I say IJ must fight and make it too costly for the developer or the state to take the land.
MD is among the states that rules as if the US Constitution does not exist.
Most states passed laws to strength property rights after KELO to prevent cities from taking private property for private development under the guise of increasing tax revenue.

Well if it was a class action lawsuit, then take it all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary and let them define eminent domain. Thomas Jefferson started it to build roads and infrastructure. NOT FOR ECONOMIC GAIN.
They'd loose. SCOTUS ruled on a Florida case back in the mid 90's dealing with the E.D. issue. The city had seized a mobile home park with privately owned trailers and used the excuse of E.D. so a developer could build something that would generate more taxes for the city. SCOTUS agreed the city had the right to do so. I see a need for E.D. for highways, military bases etc but this sport of the things is just out and out theft by the government.
Never heard of imminent domain.
the fact that there is massive unused property there is probably good enough argument to get it stopped.
I went and supported and signed there cause and i'm running for mayor of Cumberland Md i dont be leave some one should lose there homes if they pay there taxes. I will still support home owners even if they dont support me. Owning a home is every ones dream and should not be hindered by any government.
If you are running for Mayor you might want to learn how to spell and construct a proper sentence.
@@justmeiniowa lol little to late to be a smart a** aint ya ? elections been over for a good while, and why is it when some one make a valid point yas seem to attack the spelling and grammer is the truth a crypto night to the left?
Raymond just stop! I don't know how you expected to carry out your duties as a Mayor if you cant spell or write a proper sentence. How can you even read if you don't know how words are spelt???
@@jillmorrow7422 You libs and dems just afraid that some one is gona crack down and actually help people and clean up the dems and libs mess they made of MD and this country lol bet ya had a full mental break down when trump got in office lmao.
Here is what you need to know to run a city, state and country.
1.put citizens before illegals.
2.Operate a clean and safe city,state and country.
3.make sure tax payers money is not being improperly used.
4.clean out any corrupt official such ad judge,lawmaker ect out of office if violate laws and safety of the People and country.
5.Obey laws and carry them out if it don't violate safety and rights of the tax payers and law abide citazens
Basic stander operations on top of not letting other gov agency's going rouge on the citizens.
Eminent Domain is no longer being used appropriately. When it's for corporations, it's illegal. I hope these people win their fight. Go IFJ!
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court KELO case still controls, saying that as long as a local government can claim that the proposed use of the seized property would benefit the public (even indirectly through increased tax revenue from a private development), it is legal.
@uaedaien ...until the government sends in police, federal officials, national guard, etc. Then you will be painted as just another anti-government whack job on the evening news. Right beside the crazies that tried to avoid paying for their livestock grazing on federal land without permission and the rest of them.
God bless America, Thank you Institute For Justice, for all the amazing work your organization does. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤
Man, what happened to a home is man's castle?
When govt owns the man, it owns his castle too.
Government happened. The Founding Fathers would puke if they saw what this country has become. We are overdue for another revolution.
Democrats happened all the judges that ruled in favor of the cities are goddamn nasty democrats
gunpowder happened and castles got blown up by the government.
Thanks for posting as also those infamous letters wanting to buy your house
They could pull the old one! Sell one square foot of their yard to someone for X. Do that 10 times and that is eleven people the city/county/state/company have to fight.
If they tore down my home I would get a bulldozer and drive it right though there’s make no doubt about it they take mine I take there’s
That guy already did it when he built himself a tank out of a bulldozer, it is on YT somewhere, and he died for his beliefs.
3.794 million square miles and the government has to take YOUR property, there is no land to do it somewhere else
The more videos I watch the more my concerns come to light. This country is way off course. Corruption and power infused deeply throughout all levels of govt. What a disgrace. People really do not care about other people anymore.
People still care care for each other. However, there are evil entities that are working against us all across this country. They're call Democrats and Republicans!
Time to invoke the 2nd my brother
A lot of my friends had to move out of South Minneapolis when I was a kid for a freeway that never materialized. Empty lots.
Time for the eyesore to go. Maryland Avenue, elm street, baker street. Baltimore Ave. Tare it down. When you ripped the house down in Cumberland nothing ever gets put in its place
Was there at least a national open auction for the contractor?
Is the city using the money they are getting to pay off some sort of dept they owe?
So why would it be left up to a developer wether or not to use eminent domain??
The mayor and city council are getting their palms 'greased' by the developers.
because that's the way Fascism works.
Maybe they should intimate domain them to prison the politicians of that town
take out the city council .problem buried .
I absolutely despise emanate domain abuse. In fact one of the things that bothered me about Trump is his history of emanate domain abuse. He's the big reason I wrote in a 3rd party candidate.If someone owns some property it should be the owners decision whether or not to sell it.
How'd that work out for ya?
Agree with the residents as that city could relocate its plans to a vacant lot as seen with Wills Gap in the distance
You can't use eminent domain if it's for profit. Wayne county lost there ass on miss use and abuse.
I live in Cumberland and this is really disappointing
To the woman with the home that the government wants your home.
I’d make them relocate your home out in the country
Cumberland is in serious need of some redevelopment but until some jobs come back to the area it will be a tough job. In the meantime it continues to decay.
Tourism from the hikers and cyclists. Got a nice new hotel next to the trail.
It would certainly help if there wasn’t such a huge drug problem there was well. There is a lot of riff raff loitering in the downtown mall area. It’s my understanding that new businesses are having a difficult time finding people to work because they can’t pass a drug test.
may God help these people
I wish Josh Kelty was an advocate against domestic violence rather than an advocate of domestic violence. I wish he would do his job rather than abuse his position to get men off!
Im visiting Cumberland in a couple months.
Denzel,is that you?
not fair. has to stop. but how
This video was posted two years ago, what happened to the fate of Rolling Hills neighborhood?
How do you use eminent domain for personal profit.?
By paying off the city council, the mayor, and the judges.
It never matters what you say or do..we all loose in the end.devastaing blow to citizens rights.
This is why we have the second amendment!
And i thought CALIF was bad! omg!
Omg you look just like Grady with those sun glasses on!!
What happened with all of this?
I watch videos like this and I always have to ask what about the people who depend on the jobs created from tearing down the houses and building the new buildings, and the jobs from the new businesses .
hate to say it but to people in power money talks and bullshit walk. unless you are able to fight back than you are SOL. this is why when people say that the house you paid for you own is totally bullshit cause the same house you paid for can be taken away one two three.
Eminent domain is EVIL.
you know it’s a small town when you know the people in the video.
Tell them that they can have it,for information on how much they will make .
I wish I could help brother...
One has to ask who is planning on developing the land and for what purpose??? Are the Chinese coming in and making demands or some other special interest group???
6yrs later and this is still going on
Eminent domain should be banned for transferring private property to private developers. It should only be used when property is blocking the construction of something the public needs and will use, like an interstate highway or something along those lines. This kind of crap needs to be stopped and banned!
It really sad on how these people are suffering but they have to deal with people Greeley people over some builder where the respect were the justice I can believe on how the government have allow this
councils scum how dare they take people's home under any circumstances,
Well, looks its time for those residents to attach balloons to their homes and go UP(and make sure no scout is hiding on their porch).
So long boys!
dude looks like Richard Pryor.
I just moved to lavale. From jacksonville Florida. And I want to say I'm sorry yall are going though this. I bought my daughter with Me. My wifes family is from here. I want to fight with yall.
How is this even possible, I live on the Balkans and this can’t even happen here...
OH PLEASE, LET THE GOVERNMENT BUILD WHAT THEY WANT IF THE WANT TO BUILD SOMETHING BETTER
STFU William, let the government take you home!
@@stuie6269 if the government will take my home, they WILL give me enough money to buy 3 homes or more. why not? it's not like you have a very special house with a cave and a secret tunnel system or something under it.
Would you like some salt to put on those boots before you lick them?
Why do women drivers insist on putting their hand on the inside of the steering wheel when making a turn. It is completely unnecessary especially since the car has power steering. It also removes the ability to correctly control the vehicle.
It is time to force a complete reversal of the evil and corrupt Kelo decision. Under no circumstances was eminent domain seizure ever intended by the founders to enable the taking of private property for the benefit of another private entity. Only dire military need and public utilities such as pipelines, electric lines, railroads, paved roads, and other pubic utilities may be used as a reason for eminent domain seizure. In all cases where a private developer is involved, the laws of capitalism and only the laws of capitalism apply. The private developer can pay market rates as determined by the willingness of the owner to sell for a price which reflects that willingness to sell. If the price is too high, that is the developer's problem. They can pay it or go elsewhere. The rich have no right to buy our politicians and courts to force property owners to give away their property. In all cases where a property owner challenges a seizure, the owner is entitled to a full jury trial. That is the only constitutional method to enable seizure of property as per the US constitution. All bureaucratic and procedural methods are void and unconstitutional. Our laws must be amended to reflect this fact. If not, then those effected have every right to apply the second amendment to defend their rights as per the US Constitution. Our founders never envisioned the extreme abuses of the people by the corrupt system of property seizure we have today.
This shit is going on In Indianaand it is the mayor behind it 300homes this is bullshit.
Why don't people do something more than just complain. They are making money off your home when they steal it. Self defense is self defense. not criminal.
I smell democraps on this one
City officials in Cumberland are calling these 'Blighted Properties'? They must have a very different definition of the term 'Blighted' than the Oxford English Dictionary (The degeneration of a landscape or urban area as a result of neglect.) I saw no neglect but rather the opposite, the owners care for their properties and no signs of disrepair were evident.
I live in the UK in the area that was originally called Cumberland now Cumbria if there was any way that I could stop the City of Cumberland from using the name Cumberland I would, they are acting in a base and avarice manner that fouls on the memory of the people who moved from our county to build a new life in the US in the 1700’s. They are using eminent domain in a manner (that will line their collective pockets) for which (building retail developments etc.) it was never intended.
I hope that your fight is successful and the city officials see some sense.
They did a good job at not showing the disrepair of the property. The area is VERY poorly maintained and is the first thing you see when you enter Cumberland. It doesn’t make the morals of tearing these peoples homes completely justified, but there is legitimate reason many people want the neighborhood taken down
I live here, this place is crooked. Its like gotham in real life!
Its a dying city.
Eminent domain is a fraud.
I grew up in Cumberland left in 1963 basically a better life for me and my family. The LORD blessed me with three homes one on each coast and one in the middle of the country. The one in the Ozarks has a 500 acre back yard and looks like something out of a fairy tale. Point. Ask your self what you want to do. Stay and fight or leave and ...
You are Americans you still have guns fix it don't let them get away with it. That's what we do when a government is out of control.
only people complaining, not what happened and how to protect yourself. sorry waste of video and data.
Have some heart for the developer ! Without getting this place to make another investment building a tax shelter he will lose a lot of money paying taxes ! ! Paying taxes puts a huge dent in his profit margin.
Eminent domain for a PRIVATE developer? WTF? Maryland is so crooked.
Exactly. The leftist politicians are a bunch of sick hypocrites.
Ummmm........conservative republican establishment goons stepped on a lot of land owners here in Texas for a pipeline for oil that won't even see U.S pumps. It's being refined here and shipped to China, but all the unusable crude gets dumped at future superfund sites. repubs and dems screw us all
@Vladimir_Bone Spur_tRump
If anyone is a Moron and a Clueless Idiot, it's YOU! When you want to accuse anyone of being a moron and an idiot, you need to state your reason for your claim to make it convincing. Obviously, your brain is as empty as your channel. What a moronic shill!
When it comes to power and money grabbing, it makes no difference if they are left or right. They are all down below.
I agree with you and your boy Biden is one of the most corrupt.... he and his son are Chinese Shills
Remember your house is twice the market value for property taxes, and half the market value for eminent domain payments.
I love Cumberland that’s such a nice city, people are friendly and hardworking. This is government abuse, plain and simple.
Pretty much half of the people overdose on heroin there
Every city councilman, judge or developer that would use eminent domain for private business should lose their lives in a slow painful manor in hopes that it would discourage future misuse of this law...
Eminent domain disgust me.
Why are some people in the comments fighting. Shouldn't we unite against this corruption
That totally sucks! Stand your ground if you want, but please don’t let this destroy you.
Hope and work for the best outcome, but be prepared for the worst.
The restaurant & parking lot could go into that empty field which is for sale.
That is why the founding fathers wrote the 2nd amendment. Nobody has the right to steal your property.
I hope they either get to keep their homes, or at least get twice the tax assessed value.
If you want to sell your home, fine. If not, eminent domain shouldn't be used for private developers, or contractors to kick you out.
Turns out eminent domain wasn’t needed. The developer offered more money for the properties which led to more people selling. Now I understand that the project is on hold and might be cancelled permanently.
This is wrong!
Call the Cumberland fire department and ask them about this Federal 9/11 Grand Jury.
They know what we're talking about.
Tell them Dale sent you!

I was born in Cumberland and this is not the first time homes have been destroyed. In the early 60's our home was torn down for a road along with several others. One house was from the Time of George Washington and it was documented that he had stayed there. A beautiful mansion on Averitt Ave in Westside Cumberland.
this is why we have the 2nd amendment! use it!
From a building and I've always had a problem with this eminent domain. The problem I have with it is that the people that own the most valuable part of the Improvement project don't get too participate in the prophet part of the project. So they want my land, have to have my land, to make millions of dollars in profit okay I don't like it, but okay. However if I'm going to lose my family's home and probably have to spend a lot of money to get a comprable home, and I have to move away for my friends and family, and my kids have to change schools. It seems to me at some point there should be some profit in this for me
That is the whitest talking black dude ive ever heard lol.
I thought the exact same thing.
Just yesterday my handicaped friend who has a speech impediment got pulled over down town and discriminated against and abused by the town cops.they called him Joe dirt impounded his girlfriend s car fined him and he passed all their sobriety tests all cuz he is disabled.id like to see the body cam footage.
the sad thing is that people rely on a corrupt legal system where justice goes to those who can pay for it.
Why don't they use all those empty parcels zoned for commercial use, she showed us for a parking lot??! They are not even using it for a school or firestation
Any updates on this terrible situation?
It's funny how they can pass different bills for everything else but they won't stop these criminals from just taking these people homes, this is really SAD
Imminent domain is not being used for what it was intended for in this case. Sounds like the city is corrupt and in bed with the developer!
I agree with Woody, Susan and Larry in them keeping their homes.
I hope and pray that everything turned out well for you guys. I watched the short documentary on RUclips and it really hit home. God bless
We r the owners with us they don’t have anything! Lock & load! Time to put power hunger in their place
,
I'm in Cumberland with my dad during the summer and there are so many abandoned houses no one fixes
so , who is the developer blowing ?
Aint fun or fair huh when the shoe is turned! Did this to many minorities in the past.
Where is this big shopping district they were supposed to build ?
This is tyranny and THAT is the ONLY reason there is a 2nd Amendment, not to be a “law abiding citizen,” but to rise up against tyranny. Tyranny doesn’t always come in the form of violence or stormtroopers busting into homes. THIS is a form of tyranny, tyranny through intentional bureaucratic attack on random people, ESPECIALLY when it’s on the behalf or at the behest of concentrated private power. If you have to commit violence against the concentrated private power structures as well, so be it. But this is NOT going to stop until YOU stop it. It really IS that simple.
Land Patent's are not issued with the purchase of land nor home, we are No longer provided with Allodial Title's only mortgages as tenant, property registration permits the state "lawful" ownership. All item's purchased with Federal Reserve Note's/Debt Note's are Promise's to Pay, even Bank Loans are Promise's to Pay, unless the Home and Land are paid with Gold or Silver then legally WE do not own it.
House Joint Resolution 192!? Look it up.
OMG. I live in this city and this neighborhood was run down and full of people refusing to work and on drugs. Give it up now cause you guys are holding up progress! Talk about a dilapidated neighborhood with a FEW ok houses!!! I don't support this anymore!!!
Have you been to Washington state to see miss Budweiser race on the Olympia river. Go to Florida and enjoy. How about breckenridge. Colorado? Live life
City wanting to get you to move for a private developer? YOU KNOW this is corrupt. resist it and make it public shame them including the developer.
It seems that the governors of this town need a little investigating themselves. Their possible connections and involvement with the developers may need to be called into question. How, in any so called civilised society, can such an order be made ? This whole scheme smells very fishy. I'll bet the people behind it also are not so squeaky clean. USA. Under Suspect Administration.
