""It's horrible, nobody has heard our side," said Herb Young, adding the couple has had to hire a lawyer. "I don't believe the girls meant for this to happen. But they could have prevented it from happening if they had just shut their mouths when they came out of (small claims) court. Now they are caught in something they can't control." "

When in a hole.. stop digging... thank you.

[Vor Lady]

No act of kindness goes unpunished.

[Madeleine Ward]

Just like a liberal. They get their day in court--they win, and they still aren't satisfied.

And now they are hiring a lawyer again to harass these girls even further. Stupid is as stupid does.

What this guy should be doing is apologizing up and down for having a wife who is clearly the victim of some kind of mental illness. Their lives are going to be heck for a long time to come.

I can understand how Mrs. Young would have been frightened in this day and age, but for heavens sake! To take these girls to court??? There was obviously no malicious intent here. I think the Youngs opened this can of worms when they decided to sue. If it is true that the girls offered to pay the medical expenses prior to the lawsuit, then I have absolutely NO sympathy for the Youngs.

"I don't believe the girls meant for this to happen. But they could have prevented it from happening if they had just shut their mouths when they came out of (small claims) court."

Yes, once again, your stupidity is their fault.

I have trouble feeling sorry for this creep.

[RobRoy]

Sometimes, when you win you lose. And Vice-versa.

"But they could have prevented it from happening if they had just shut their mouths when they came out of (small claims) court."

Oh I see, you can drag them into court because your wife is a nutbag hag but they're aren't supposed to talk.

Shut up Herb, you're making things worse for yourself.

Things went sour when they approached the Young home. Wanita Renea Young, 49, said she heard someone banging on the door late in the evening and saw "shadowy figures" who refused to answer when she called out to them. The teens later said they did not answer because they wanted the treats to be a surprise.

A frightened Young said she spent the night at her sister's home, then went to the hospital the next morning because she was still shaking and had an upset stomach.

I'm siding with Mrs. Young here.

"We have got horrendous phone calls, tons of hate mail, threats to our life," said Herb Young in a telephone interview Thursday.

Excuse me while I go find my nanotech violin.

[atomicpossum]

Such a delightful couple the Youngs must be.

[expatpat]

Wanita? What's wrong with the original, Juanita?

Wrong. We all heard your side the moment you made the stupid decision to take it to court.

[teenyelliott]

So, the girls should have "kept their mouths shut" in an attempt to reduce the harrassment of a couple of people who thought the appropriate thing to do was to sue children? We're gonna file a frivolous lawsuit and you better keep quiet about it???? OMG, the arrogance!

[frithguild]

But they could have prevented it from happening if they had just shut their mouths when they came out of (small claims) court.

So, the defendants should have kept quiet when the press wanted to talk about a public proceeding, where they were involuntarily separated from their money? This guy should be on more than pins and needles.

[DB]

Well Herb, you were determined to sue someone who was trying to do a nice thing for you. Someone who did no actual damage to you other than in your paranoid mind. You over reacted in the extreme and now your paying the price. The situation is entirely of your own making.

[Probus]

I think the bigger picture here is WHY the judge awarded this nut any money. The woman is obviously mentally impaired... and as someone smarter than me stated the police were not called as far as we know.

[Welsh Rabbit]

"It's horrible, nobody has heard our side," said Herb Young

That you're trying shake down your neighbors for a few bucks over an honest accident?

[taxesareforever]

"My home isn't a home any more," Young said. "We are all on pins and needles."


Kind of like the night the girls showed up with their cookies? Boo hoooooooooo.

[dfwright]

"It's horrible, nobody has heard our side,"

*sniff* *sniff* I really feel bad for you. Perhaps I should send over some cookies to assuage your pain...
