Why is the government picking on Caswell? As Willie Sutton famously (and apocryphally) said, that’s where the money is:
Of course, the Motel Caswell is not the only property in Tewksbury that has had run ins with crime. According to police logs, the Motel 6, the Fairfield Inn, and even the nearby Wal-Mart and Home Depot parking lots have similar problems. But those properties are corporate-owned, which means the government would have to fight teams of lawyers to take them. And, importantly, the Caswells own their property free and clear, which makes them the perfect target for a government interested in policing for profit: the Caswells are vulnerable and their property is valuable.
The Tewksbury government is engaging in robbery, pure and simple. And they’re being abetted by the federal government. The only difference between this and a criminal enterprise is a lot of criminal enterprises deliver products that people actually want.
