Knives out!
A samurai-wielding mixed martial arts expert is offering to help clear out pesky squatters in San Francisco for good – with a massive arsenal of frightening weapons and tactical gear.
ASAP Squatter Removal’s CEO, James Jacobs, claims he has had a 95% success rate with his controversial approach to ridding vacant Bay Area homes of troublesome illegal squatters without having to wait for cops and the usual red tape.
“No matter how many there are, how smart they think they are, or how dangerous they may be — we always get them out,” his website boasts.
Jacobs, who says he has over two decades worth of martial arts experience, said he comes armed with a slew of professional-grade tactical gear, including swords, rifles, smoke grenades, tear gas and full body-armor.
“Removing unwanted occupants is our specialty. We have dozens of proven strategies tailored to every squatter situation,” his site advertises.
The company’s vigilante-style method to cracking on the notorious squatters also involves dramatic covert surveillance before they ultimately pounce, he claims.
“Unlike ninjas, we don’t hide in the shadows — we blend into society. Whether posing as homeless individuals, workers, or other everyday roles, we observe without detection. Our team gathers detailed intelligence through covert videos and photos, monitoring all activity day and night,” the website states. --->READ MORE HERE

Squatter removal services have popped up in a number of U.S. cities in recent years, but one in the San Francisco Bay Area has gone viral as it promises “we don’t play” and features a sword-wielding, mixed-martial-arts expert as its owner.
Billed on its website as the “#1 squatter removal service” in Northern California, ASAP Squatter Removal claims a 95 percent success rate with owner James Jacobs promising his service can get rid of unwanted occupants without the legal hassle of spending months in eviction court.
The service was featured this week on the San Francisco Bay Area’s KROM4, which gave free publicity to the company while at the same time using one of its legal experts to say it was probably a bad idea.
The story went viral and was picked up as far away as the East Coast with the New York Post reporting “a slew of videos posted online show Jacobs and his staff wielding a cache of weapons as they carry out the so-called squatter-evicting methods.”
According to its owner, the San Francisco-based company first conducts surveillance to pre-approve clients and make sure the squatters really are on the property illegally.
After that, the company performs what is called “breach and clear.”
“Breaking into the property and then clearing is actively going through the rooms and making sure there is no active threat,” he told the news station.
Jacobs demonstrated his skills on the street with a training sword but said a real Samurai blade accompanies him on a removal job. --->READ MORE HERE
