We wonder if there is a difference between “D5W” and “D5&W” (which sounds like a brand of root beer) or if Bobby Troup simply didn’t rehearse his lines well that day.

Car stolen during traffic stop.
Seems there’s very little honor among those two thieves.
That’s funny.
I was just watching a YouTube short video from an attorney about what happens if the police do something to stop the stolen car and the car crashes or is damaged / destroyed.
Basically, you are SOL. The police don’t provide compensation, so you have to go through your own insurance, pay the deductible, etc.
You can sue the thief, but some of them don’t have any money.
This couldn’t have happened to a better person.
This happened recently:
It’s common for lawsuits to initially specify a minimum amount of damages, with the expectation that the award will end up being much higher.
As for the HS football player who fractured the spine of an opponent, he might well have escaped significant sanctions if he’d been playing in Texas. These sweethearts were only suspended for the first half of a following game.

The guy putting his hands on his hips at the end is what makes the clip. You can practically hear him thinking, “Oh, come on!”
I didn’t watch the clip the first time, but yeah, it makes the clip.
I am bothered by this story.
What’s with having a dungeon in your penthouse? Surely it should be in the basement.
“Accused sex fiend” has a ring to it, though.
I’d categorize this one as “evil." He seriously fucked those women up. One needed surgery, apparently.
Holy shit.
Yeah, he made them sign NDAs, then rendered them helpless and immobile/unconscious and did whatever he wanted to them. Fifteen years isn’t long enough.
Wouldn’t the dungeon of the penthouse be the rest of the building below it?
Federal employee calls in active shooter hoax.
Genius move.
That should be in the “Evil MFers” thread if it isn’t already.
Update on this case. As it turns out, you don’t have Freedom Of Speech when that speech bothers someone else.
In her Sept. 29 ruling dismissing the lawsuit, Judge Nancy Joseph wrote that although Tempel was speaking as a private citizen on a matter of public concern, because her tweet disrupted the district’s operations, its interests took precedence in this case.
Joseph said she ruled that, in this case, balance favors the Waukesha School District in its operations over Tempel’s interest in expression
The disruptions the judge is referring to are:
-district staff receiving vulgar phone calls, voicemails and emails
-the necessity for additional police presence at Heyer Elementary for one week after spring break and two days at the district’s office
-multiple emails from staff and parents concerned about school safety
disharmony among Heyer Elementary staff members.
This seems like bullshit to me since these disruptions weren’t about the song, they were about the teacher tweeting that the song was removed. IMO, had the school left the song in the program, none of this disruptions would’ve happened.
It’s like asking someone to leave the library because they’re yelling and screaming and making a scene after you kicked them in the shin.
Here’s a non-paywalled article:
Since nobody physically harmed the plaintiff in this case, I think a better analogy is that it’s like asking someone to leave the library because they’re yelling and screaming and making a scene after you remove a book for objectionable content. Which is what this was about (banning a song).
But even that’s not correct; Tempel wasn’t the one yelling and screaming, other people were. So, it would be like she was a librarian who objected to the removal of a book from the library, and told other patrons about it, and those other patrons started yelling and screaming, and so she was fired from the library as a result.
I don’t know all the details of this case though. Did she raise a call to action, asking people to reach out to the school district, or did she just tweet about what happened and others decided to respond that way? If the former, it seems like the firing was justified, but if it’s the latter then I don’t know how she could be held responsible for others’ actions just by putting out the info.
I believe this is the tweet in question:
And this was on the heels of the school board being taken over by anti-maskers who adopted, in her words, “basically the same guidelines as Florida’s and Moms for Liberty”
There’s more articles on this page, which I assume is run/owned by her (as opposed to just being about her).
The tweet itself is innocuous. And there is nothing in that tweet that provides contact information, just tagging a couple of people. To look at that and decide that it’s going to surely incite a harassment campaign against the school and other disruption seems like bullshit to me.
It looks like the judge was full of shit here. I’m not sure how an appeal would work since you can’t appeal a ruling, just the methodology for the ruling, but I suppose you can question how the judge reached that conclusion and if proper procedures were followed. I guess? (Not a lawyer or anything.) But I still hope the appeal works.
This looks like a clear case of telling teachers they need to shut up and not express opinions, and stepping out of line is going to cause them to be fired, which is exactly what the law is supposed to prevent.
