Looking
down into Bev & Seb's Yard https://www.youtube.com/embed/5eGGv5fY8MA?rel=0  Towering over our house, Barrintonians hung out on the roof - often throwing bottles or peeing or sending flying washing machines onto our roof. |
| Restraining
Order https://www.youtube.com/embed/QvbvnCEoU2g?rel=0  The Coop attempted to evict the Barringtonians. 18 refused to move and were called the "Hold-Overs". In response to the washing machine and paint thrown on our house, the Judge granted an Injunction form bieng on the roof and the Coop got a restraining order, which they violated. |

| Juan Mendoza
Goes Off the Roof https://www.youtube.com/embed/qHpmjyaUI18?rel=0  Mendoza was one of the 18 hold-overs. A week after the riot he went off the Barrington roof,landing 25 feet from the building [not reported here - see book] in the parking lot. His mother said Juan had called three days before he died and said, "Mama, if anything happens to me - investigate." Tho his mother pressed, there is little investigation, with the police saying it was suicide. Who killed Juan Mendoza? Clue: Security guards were off-duty cops. Cops hated the hold-overs. WHo can quash an investigation of a "suspicious" death? |
Plywood Goes Up https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y_Y9r3uykFo?rel=0  Three days after Juan went off the roof Barrington, the holdover vacated voluntarily and Barirngton was boarded up. |
