Whoever is that gold miner should be arrested and given a public wiping in Georgetown.

Is this "wiping" after a dump?

The law is (In Canada, don't know if the same elsewhere) the land belongs to the owner but not what's under it. If it is somehow proven there are precious metals..gold, oil etc in the ground, the government would offer over market price for the land, to tempt the owner to sell without much complaints.

This family should be compensated even if it wasn't their property. At least find them a proper place to live.
