Carrying Out Foreclosure Evictions "Like A Sick Sort Of Game Show" For Deputies?

In Clark County, Nevada, the Las Vegas Sun reports:

• It’s like a sick sort of game show: What’s behind Door No. 1? Abandoned furniture? A man with a gun? A rabid bichon? A housewife wielding a frying pan?

• Because they’re the bearers of get-out-in-three-days eviction notices, constables in Clark County are some of the most vocal critics of the foreclosure process as it applies to renters. This is because they’re the bearers of bad news. And although nobody likes delivering disappointment, that’s not really the issue.

• The problem is that blindsiding people is dangerous. Bob Wyant, a Las Vegas deputy constable, has seen bullets fly through front doors. He’s had to fight people who start problems. One guy saw Wyant, walked upstairs and shot himself in the head. A woman locked herself in her bedroom with a blazing barbecue grill, trying to give herself, and her cats, carbon monoxide poisoning.
