Their duty as Sheriffs are to protect the citizens of their county, which is why they have the responsibility for evictions ... to ensure that the evictions are properly handled and the orders are lawful.
To that end, many Sheriffs around the country are coming to recognize the fraud and corruption within the system, and unlike their city and state corporate police, they are acting in accordance with their conscience and sense of right and wrong.
A similar right exists with our jury system known as "Jury Nullification" when a jury decides not to issue a guilty verdict not because the state had failed to prove their case, but because they deemed the law or the application of that law in that instance to be unjust.
The reality is a large percentage of foreclosures are acts of fraud, since the real estate scheme which has sold most mortgages as securities on the stock exchange has rendered a situation where no one really know who owns the clear title to property, and without that, a legal foreclosure is next to impossible.
Unfortunately, too many would kick the old birds out into the street, as the White Shoe Boyz on Wall Street rape the nation of Hundreds of Billions, only to be handed Hundreds of Billions more in bail outs at the tax payer's expense.
That's why it's fair.
PS: The Sheriff is not "hired" ... the Sheriff is "Elected" by the citizens of the county. This is the only law enforcement entity that is elected by the people, and thereby represents the highest law enforcement entity in their jurisdiction, superseding all other ... County, State and Federal law enforcement agents.
The bankers have no one to blame but themselves. This woman lived in her home for 53 years she could have paid it off almost twice over by now. Why would they give her a loan when she was what 95?

In the final days of the SEC fraud, the bankers were desperate to get new debt. They needed it to create derivatives to sell off to suckers. They were loaning to anyone. I have no doubt they hounded this lady -- rang her phone off the hook -- to get her to take out a mortgage against her house.
It always amazes me how it's ok to bend the rules for some people but not for others. I wouldn't evict a 100 something year old woman either, but why should you evict a 65 year old woman by the same token?
Where is the cut-off age for empathy?
You don't see the difference between a 65 year old woman and a 103 year old woman? Are you serious?
In this particular case the woman has lived in her home for 53 years. She probably had the house all paid off and some banker thought it was wise to loan her money off the value of her home when she was in her 90s.
Sorry I'm as capitalist as the next guy but if banks want to make foolish lending decisions they should not expect the rest of us to do their dirty work for them. I'm with the sheriff and movers no way I'm kicking out a 100+ old woman and her 80 year old daughter on to the street.
