Demonic Gerbil

And by highly trained, I mean "a roving gang of baseball bat wielding thugs". Go read the whole thing for yourself.

I love the mysterious "the sound and dashcam video miraculously cut out" too. Funny how that works...

Stealing from someone who lives on disability is... well it's not quite stealing a disabled dog's walker, but pretty low anyway.

instead of being personally held liable for ordering a false arrest. you know, one of those things we pretend doesn't happen in our society...

"Fleeing from the police in a car is a violent felony that can subject criminals to mandatory 15-year prison terms, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday in a 6-to-3 decision."

I guess they'd rather the criminal get a gun and shoot the police? It's going to be the same pointlessly long sentence either way if you tack on 15 years for getting into a police chase, and at least suicide by cop is easier on the courts...

Can we retroactively apply this decision to OJ Simpson? I could use another pointless celeb court case on TV.

Verrilli, one of at least five former RIAA attorneys appointed to the administration, is best known for leading the recording industry’s legal charge against music- and movie-sharing site Grokster. That 2003 case ultimately led to Grokster’s demise, when the U.S. Supreme Court sided with a lower court’s pro-RIAA verdict. Grokster produced a legal foundation which the RIAA used against file sharing service LimeWire, which shuttered last year and agreed to pay the labels $115 million to settle a lawsuit.

The elevation comes as lawmakers are moving to bolster copyright laws, and as federal authorities employ constitutionally suspect measures toward that end.

After about an hour of being locked out of the bank, the bank manager handed the attorney a check for the legal fees.

"As a foreclosure defense attorney this is sweet justice" says Allen.

Allen says this is something that he sees often in court, banks making errors because they didn't investigate the foreclosure and it becomes a lengthy and expensive battle for the homeowner.

I don't think I would have accepted a check. Cash (which is legal tender for all debts private and public) would be another matter, but after failing to pay its bills for 5 months, I don't think we can trust the bank's credit to hold up when we go to cash the check. Send all that property to the auction block!

Too bad it took someone dying to make people think about safety in a machine or tool shop.

This is news to me, hence, the tag.
