Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
10 million? I dont know about that....
but I hope she gets something.....just IMO.
I had to keep scanning to make sure this happened in America. Beyond that, words fail.
but I hope she gets something
Agree - 10 Million is ridiculous but she does deserve something - Though, it should come out of the police budget (and not just simply from the tax-payers) - The police in that department are the one's who should pay - They should be forced to do with less because of this -
Also all officers involved should be fired (I saw at least one was).
It wouldn't surprise you if you live in the Atlanta area. There is a culture here of never being critical of anyone who is African-American, even if they happen to be incompetent, corrupt, and downright stupid. The tolerance for this is absolutely astounding, and of course it is African-Americans who are hurt most by this.
These things cannot happen unless Bush authorizes them. We must find the memo.
Possibly in this case, for some of the prisoners, its not like they caught a glimpse of something they haven't seen before.
Well, the police treatment of her was just plain wrong. The amount sued for seems much too high, but that will no doubt come down in the end.
Firings are the answer here.
In the middle of the road,
Is trying to find me.
I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me.
But, I got a smile
For everyone I meet.
Long as you don't try dragging my bay,
Or dropping a bomb on the street.
Come on baby,
Get in the road.
Come on now,
In the middle of the road, yeah.
In the middle of the road,
You see the darnest things.
Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city,
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits.
Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and
Man I don't mean a Hampstead nursery.
But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world,
The babies just come with the scenery.
Come on baby,
Get in the road.
Come on now,
In the middle of the road, yeah.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.
In the middle of the road,
Is my private cul de sac.
I can't get from the cab to the curb,
Without some little jerk on my back,
Don't harass me kid,
Can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired as hell,
I'm not the cat I used to be,
I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby.
Get in the road.
Come on now,
In the middle of the road.
She deserves a million--and it should (partly) be taken out of the pay of the guards who allowed it to happen.
I think the lawyer has dollar signs in the eyes and a big gravy train going CHOO CHOO! going through his head.
Oh my.
Find out who's responsible, deal with them, and make restitution of some sort. And then make sure it doesn't happen again.
LOL!
20 30 viewings = 10 Million, so if they posted her picture on the Internet and got 20 30 million viewings = (well maybe we can just give her North America)
sheesh
I wonder whether Shakita and Tramata are in cahoots so they can both benefit from the settlement.
"Suggs acknowledges that Perdue has not been a model citizen. She had been arrested several times prior to the July incident, she doesn't have a steady job and she doesn't have custody of any of her five children, ages 4 to 11.
"We are in the process of helping her rehabilitate her life and we will use whatever proceeds that we are going to win to put her back in the middle of the road," Suggs said."
From previous experience this lawyer is going to get the lion's share of any lawsuit and this woman will spend the money going strait into the sewer. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but I have seen it time and time again. Rodney King comes to mind. The victim gets just enough money to keep high for a couple of years while the lawyer buys a new summer home in Palm Beach.
I hope that she will use this opportunity to learn that her life has been in the gutter, pick herself up by her bootstraps and take responsibility for the children she has brought into the world. By the way I wonder how these children are being cared for? Chances are she could owe the taxpayers part of her settlement. Wonder if we'll ever see it.
You're right MH. Just Damn
