Oh yeah. That’s a recurring pattern.
He posts some dumb ass shit. A bunch of people take the time to show that he is unquestionably factually wrong. He slinks away without a word. And then…
He posts that same dumb ass shit in a different thread three months later.
Yeah. I couldn’t even respond. How do you respond to somebody who clearly does not want to understand the situation?
Are you asksing about UltraVires or Trump and his supporters?
In a thread about a company that plans on taking it’s employees’ stimulus checks, WVDL proves he has an evil side.
Also completely ignores that the company is planning to take half of the dependents’ checks as well.
I swear I looked at this and automatically read it as “UltraVires”.
I’ve been following this thread over in Great Debates started by our favorite Oh My God is this guy really a lawyer. It’s actually been kind of a fun theoretical discussion.

But it appears that some unfortunate, although guilty as hell, defendant has actually hired our guy.

This is probably the most bummed out I’ve been about the pandemic lockdown yet. Because I really want to get in my car and drive to god-forsaken West Virginia just to hear UltraVires make this argument in a courtroom in front of a judge. Which, from his response to me in the thread, sounds like something he’s really intending to do.
IANAL, but I’m pretty sure judges really hate having their time wasted with stupid shit and smart-ass stupid lawyers that’ve think they’ve conjured up some legal loophole that invalidates standard procedure in some run of the mill low-life criminal case.
Like arguing that an undercover drug buy was unconstitutional because the drug dealer had told some people “snitches” weren’t welcome on his premises. And he intends to call those people that knew the drug dealer didn’t like snitches as witnesses. Gotcha, I guess.
I just hope that -for the sake of the criminal- that the judge laughs at him instead of throwing the book at his client out of spite. Dealing drugs may not have been the biggest mistake this dude made.
Is this the thread where we discuss UltraVirus? Every single syllable that clod pulls out of his rectum makes me sick. He didn’t use to be this bad, I think. I suppose he’s now trying to make up for the loss of his friend Ditka? (Virus pretends to be a lawyer; what occupation did Ditka pretend to?)
Recently I learned from the Mods that lying is fine, but we can’t call attention to the lies. Political tripe is OK as long as you avoid invective or certain keywords, but we can’t call attention to the political tripe.
So, if Shodan was feeling lonely on my Ignore List he has company now. UltraVirus wins — I’m Ignoring him.
There is no way, no way, that guy is a lawyer.
I believe Shodan and Ditka are both Nuclear Rocket Physicists with multiple doctorates.
You know what they call the guy who graduates dead last in his medical school class, right?
Esquire?
He still has to pass.
FWIW, I’ll guess the guy really is a lawyer. Doesn’t a law degree mostly just require memorization unlike a real doctorate? Many of these Trumpist turds do have 100+ IQs (which makes the fact of their political views even more repulsive); and Virus would certainly have been happy to do any cheating or ass-licking required.
Also, don’t we know that he defends low-level drug scum too cheap to hire a competent lawyer? That sounds like Virus. If he were lying, I think he’d make himself a $2000/hour lawyer helping big-time bankers prey on the working class.
WVDL: ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA.
Judge: What?
WVDL: The defense rests.
FWIW, we know he’s really a (very dumb) lawyer because he has doxxed himself on this message board.
I tend to assume he’s actually a lawyer, too. But not knowing about emergency powers of the state during a crisis did make me wonder. Not that he didn’t know, but that he didn’t think to look it up before commenting.
That’s what I expect from lawyers here when talking about the law. They have the ability to look things up, so why wouldn’t they before commenting on a subject they would definitely want to get right?
How can you tell the guy who graduated dead last in his law school? He’s hunting clients in the lobby outside traffic court.
The “smart” ones get copies of traffic accident reports from law enforcement and mass-mail ads to them. Saves gas and shoe leather.
*I got just such a solicitation after a fender-bender awhile back.
This was my first duty when I got hired by the firm I work for. I sent out those letters. If you are doing this kind of thing in person, that means you have a lot of spare time and are desperate for clients.
Back in 2014, after an inattentive driver killed my father, his death was not officially released until a Monday morning, as he died late on a Saturday afternoon. On Tuesday, when family was at my mom’s house, a FedEx truck pulled up and deliveread a package that said “Legal Documents” It was from a law office in a city three hours away, and was a book titled “Winning a Lawsuit With Dignity”. Those ambulance chasers must have had some kind of alert system to get it to us so fast.
I sent them back a note that was…kind of ugly. It included phrases like “scum of the earth” and “assholes”
Just so you know, the vast majority of plaintiff attorneys feel the same way. They give the rest of us a bad name. It’s offensive and should be considered unethical. (same with those billboards…) The Bar Associations usually lose to “free speech” when they try to regulate such activities.
IMO, there is an inverse relationship between the quality of the law firm and the amount they spend on direct marketing.
