No good deed goes unpunished...

[Personal Responsibility]

I heard this on Mark Levin's show tonight. Remind me never to help another old lady across the street. If she trips and breaks a leg I could wind up losing my house!

Here's to the death of doing the right thing!

[endthematrix]

Ooopsie, welcome to FR!

[A CA Guy]

I doubt these girls knocked at 10:30PM.
More like the woman was out of it when they knocked in the early evening, she had problems anyway and the next day had to go to the hospital.
She is more than likely broke, has no means to pay, and wanted to sue to get money.

[clee1]

MUST be a super-lib judge.

How in the world can these girls be held responsible for an old bats insanity?

[GeronL]

Someone gives me cookies with paper hearts, I'm eating them... paper hearts and all.

=o)

[Graymatter]

Well, I wouldn't SUE anybody for such a thing, but I'd be alarmed, and then sore as hell, if someone came to my door at that hour, even if they were delivering a new Jaguar.

And people who don't understand why...are lucky, and that's all I'm saying on that score.

[ScottFromSpokane]

Actually, they weren't "fined," they were ordered to pay damages.

Of course, you can't expect a reporter to know the difference.

This lady, Wanita, should call a real estate agent and start packing her things. I think she is no longer welcome/wanted in the neighborhood, to put it mildly.

[Chad Fairbanks]

This is just stupid. Makes me want to go to that woman's house, and in the best Jack Handy manner I can muster, leave an evil looking carved jack-o-lantern on her porch, with a big butcher knife stuck in the pumpkin, with a note that simpy reads "YOU!"...

La Plata County Court Judge Doug Walker, ...

Judge Walker seems to have a serious mental problem. The people of La Plata County would be advised to have him examined for suitability for the office he holds.

[chaos_5]

When I was their age would have left far worse on someones door step! =P

[mysto]

The moral of the story is, don't toss your cookies... at least not on your neighbor's doorstep! LOL

[JohnBovenmyer]

These kids needed a jury trial to overcome this absurd judge. No way a reasonable jury would convict them. Alas legal costs would have been even higher then. They really needed a pro-bono attorney to avoid the judicial system blackmail.

[Apercu]

Is our legal system great, or what!

[zlala]

10:30 was fairly late at night for them to be out.

For a 17 & 18 yr old...I don't think so. Does this judge have any children? I bet he wasn't a teen himself.

The other thing I would bet on...this judge probably goes soft on the poor, it takes a village kid that gets caught breakin into homes, schools, etc.

[Jotmo]

I just have no words to describe how I feel about that woman.

[jordan8]

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.

[Clintonfatigued]

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

[Abathar]

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!
