This is private land let the owners do what they want with it
Dumb hippies

this is actually a good lesson about private property: it only exists if you have the ability to protect it through force.
who lost on this day?

My ancestors were harassed, persecuted in Europe in the 1600-1700's. Their houses burned down and some executed. By your logic i have a right to take back those pieces of land they owned. Of course it is obvious this would be ridiculous, and so is the claim that the descendants of the people wronged need reimbursement.

why is it obvious that this is ridiculous? you're being too vague to make a determination.
off the top of my head, i can think of a dozen absolutely valid land claim cases in eastern europe.
depending on the circumstances, reparations may be more feasible. that doesn't make them invalid.
artifacts that were stolen during the second world war are still being returned, to this day.....
