Platform: TIKTOK Author: @hailtheking23 --- Caption/Description --- So yall think @Zohran Mamdani just doxxed but what he did is way worse than that #newyork #realestate #free stuff --- Audio Transcript (What was said) --- This dude might have just pulled off the single greatest real estate heist for his followers in the history of America. Let me fucking explain. Coz see, a lot of people are running around saying moron man, dummy here just doxed almost a million people. Yeah, but is that all? Let's keep in mind, in the state of New York, squatters rights is a real, real problem. And this is not a problem for regular average New Yorkers. This is a problem for the a little more fortunate or wealthier New Yorkers. You know, those people with their second homes. Or even people who are thinking about leaving their New York home to go live somewhere that they have a little bit more freedom and they still have their real estate portfolio or their second home to go to New York for occasion. In the state of New York, you only need to be in someone else's house, home, apartment or whatever for less than six months. You pay a Bill or two, you got internet coming in there in your name. That's yours, bro. You see all those people in certain hours of the day, rubbing their kneecaps out on their carpet, listening to that fucking terror music while they boom their fucking head off the ground, huh? All of them finna get in on these fucking houses. Free houses. Because that's the plan from the jump. It ain't about doxxing people. You can't dox someone if they don't. If they spend limited To no time in their house. You dox people when they live there so people can go harass them. This motherfucker just posted a whole bunch of homes and addresses to be stolen. That's what the fuck this crooked ass smile just did. Look into it, I swear to god. --- On-Screen Text (OCR) --- Do not hold doors FOR HIS FOLLOWERS IN THE HISTORY SOURCE PLATFORM: unclear --- Do not hold doors A LOT OF PEOPL
