I was involved in litigation with a skag who had been suing 2-3 people a year for 2 decades -- you do the math. [Found this out while researching for the case.] She lost most every time, but there is no penalty for frivolous lawsuits in VA -- and certainly no loser pays.

I agree...but do you think maybe the nutty Judge and the old bat are tied in this together somehow??? This is the nuttiest story I have read in months.....

Good one :)

I'd never eat cookies left on my porch, but what a sweet act on the girls part. In the old days behavior like that of Wanita Renea Young would have been regulated by community opprobrium. I would suggest that her neighbors try to resurrect the practice. They can start by calling her "c**t" every time she steps out her door.

If this is not a frivolous lawsuit, then there is no such thing as a frivolous lawsuit.

Now the ACLU says you can poop in the streets if you want in San Antonio, if the lady looked out and saw a homeless man squatting on her porch leaving her a present, they would have gone to court to defend his rights to do that!

As said by a good friend: if the Founding Fathers knew the Constitution was going to be used to justify public defecation, they probably would have said to hell with it and not spent the summer in the Philadelphia summer, in a hall with the doors closed.

I'll admit that I would have been annoyed (and I wouldn't have eaten the cookies, either, but then I'm the highly suspicious sort).

What if the accompanying heart said, "Enjoy! From your local Islamic Mosque." Would that ease your suspicion?
