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.

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.

QFT  At some point the judicial system has got to say "Enough is enough."

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

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.

A Kentucky woman was arrested Sunday after she allegedly stole a school bus and drove it while intoxicated, according to police.


Teresa M. Wells, 35, of Cawood, was arrested Sunday morning on Ky. 1137 in Cawood after she stole a school bus from Cawood Elementary School and drove it around the area in a "reckless manner," according to Kentucky State Police.
 
An employee with Harlan County Schools stopped Wells and the bus on the state road and asked her what she was doing.

Michael Cox, the director of transportation for Harlan County Schools, told WYMT that Wells claimed to be a state transportation office employee who was "test-driving the bus."

Hmmmm,a couple of questions come to mind.

1: Did you ever do a lot of drinking?

2: When you were drinking,did it seem like flash bulbs were going off often?

3: Did any of your ancestors ever claim to have been "movie stars" in "small movies you probably never heard of."?

West Texas drug runner leaves behind 1,100 pounds of pot and wallet; cops offer to return ID

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/article/West-Texas-drug-runner-leaves-behind-1-100-pounds-14442964.php

Early Saturday morning, Brewster County Sheriff's deputies and Border Patrol agents recovered approximately 1,127 pounds of marijuana in an abandoned SUV,  according to a Facebook post from the BCSO.

To add insult to injury, the cops trolled the drug runner fail with hashtags like #lostandfound, #yourIDishere, #jointoperation, #buds, and of course #weedliketotalk.

Two Amish men escape police after being pulled over for drinking and driving their horse and buggy

Two Amish men drinking spiked iced tea in a horse and buggy, a 12-pack of Michelob Ultra sitting atop their horse and buggy and a giant stereo system inside.
…
Deputy Joe Dragovich was on patrol that early morning on September 15. When he attempted to stop and question the two men about drinking and driving, they leapt out of the buggy and made their great escape -- disappearing into the woods on the side of the road, according to the report obtained by CNN affiliate WJW.
…
Meanwhile, the horse pulling the buggy also took off running, but Dragovich managed to catch up to it. The men, though, were gone.

Many years ago I was reading a Spanish newspaper in a college library (because I didn't want to do any actual studying), and came upon a similar story. It seems the woman had a heart attack, aneurysm or something, and died suddenly just as she climaxed, and the man couldn't, um, extricate himself. It presented a bit of a problem for the paramedics.
