It's not just the grilling that bothers this chippie.  She also doesn't like her neighbors' kids playing basketball or the smell of her neighbors' cigarettes.  She's gone to court over her complaints a few times and is still going to court.   One neighbor has curtailed the barbecuing and the kids' basketball playing, so now she's going after the other neighbors. Seems to me she's a bitter, miserable harpie trying to make her neighbors as miserable as she is.  A smart judge would tell this woman that since she is apparently the only one in the neighborhood with these problems, maybe she should move.

I'd settle for the Judge declaring her a Vexatious Litigator.

That's even better.  But I don't know if that sort of thing exists in Australia.

Working for lawyers, I've seen my share of frivolous lawsuits.  We have remedies here, but I think they haven't been applied nearly enough. 

Years ago, there was a local guy who was always suing someone.  He was a lawyer and as far as I could tell, his only client was himself.  The firm I worked for at the time represented a dentist who was sued because he allegedly did 't tell this lawyer that a root canal would hurt.  Really?  The dentist (actually his malpractice insurance carrier) settled for a few thousand.   I guess they figured it would be cheaper than  fighting this guy in court.  Judges knew this man was a flake, but they wouldn't dismiss his actions.  Actually, one judge did and the lawyer promptly sued the judge.  Judges were afraid of him, I guess.

Well, I suspect that's how this lawyer made a living since it seems he didn't have any clients except for himself.  Basically, he was running an extortion racket allowed by the courts.

Haven't heard anything about him lately.  Wonder if he's still alive.  If he is, he would have to be close to 100.  Maybe too feeble to go around suing people now.

Triggered vegan takes neighbor to court over BBQ ‘odor’

Andrew West  September 3, 2019



 
The funny thing about tolerance is that those who profess to possess it tend to be the first to infringe on other people’s lives.

Mankind should be tolerant, of course – it is perhaps one of the most noble traits that we have as sentient beings.  We can look at one another and chalk up our differences to the fact that we are one of the very few animals on this planet with differences of opinion.  This diversity makes us who we are, and separates us from the rest of the wildlife we encounter on a daily basis.

But tolerance and entitlement must always remain separate.  The civilized world doesn’t aim to force personal choices like religion or lifestyle on one another.

Different strokes for different folks, right?

Geraldo Rivera says that AR-15 owners have ‘small penises’

by Julio Rosas

September 03, 2019 09:31 PM

 
Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera accused AR-15 rifle owners of using the gun to compensate for small penis size.

Responding to comedian Sarah Silverman's tweet that mocked hunters for possessing similar insecurities, Rivera said, "AR15 are the symptom of small penises."
 
Claiming "their products are used for their only intended purpose: to mimic military assault weapons to kill and maim people," Rivera had said earlier that companies manufacturing AR-15 rifles should be sued for damages, much like opioid makers and tobacco companies.

Well, geez, if they are just for killing and maiming people, and there are between 5 and 10 million out there (not counting all the AKs and such, too), the streets should be running with blood, and the undertakers should be working overtime.  Reality is that a tiny fraction of these firearms are used by criminals to perpetrate murder and maiming, and Jerry should just wring out his panties, untie the knots in them and hit the shower.

Flying and driving Kennedys have killed far more people than my AR.

Vegan influencer Mythical Mia who 'rescued' 16 rabbits in violent raid on bunny farm in Spain 'killed nearly 100 more' and left others with severed spines

•Vegan activist 'Mythical Mia' said she had rescued 16 rabbits from a Spanish farm
•Reports in Spain say several of them had just given birth, leaving bunnies behind
•Another five pregnant rabbits are said to have died during the chaotic raid


By Tim Stickings For Mailonline

Published: 04:41 EDT, 9 September 2019  | Updated: 06:39 EDT, 9 September 2019 




A vegan activist's 'rescue mission' at a rabbit farm in Spain last week actually led to the deaths of nearly 100 bunnies, it has been claimed.

'Mythical Mia', as she calls herself, was left covered in blood and claimed angry farmers had shot at her through a car window as she made her escape.

The British activist proudly said she had saved 16 rabbits from the farm in Osona, but reports in Spain say several of the 'rescued' animals had just given birth, leaving dozens of bunnies stranded without a mother. 

Unable to fend for themselves, 90 helpless bunnies had to be put down, according to La Vanguardia.

On top of that, five pregnant rabbits died during the raid while others are said to have lost their babies. Others still suffered broken spines, it is reported.
