Loss of income and future loss of income was valued at around 550k, damage to reputation of both the photographer and her business 280k, mental anguish and intentional distress at 75k, punitive damages at $75k. Her photography business was a thriving business - she had multiple employees and a studio. It wasn’t just…

There’s almost no way she pulled $500K a year.

Well, punitive damages are generally available in defamation cases against private individuals if the defamer acted with malice. Given that the defendants here put down in writing their intent to ruin the plaintiff’s business, establishing malice is a slam dunk. So who knows exactly how it was apportioned, but I’d…

They literally destroyed her successful business; it’s not completely unbelievable that a previously in demand wedding photog could have pulled in that amount in the couple of years since the wedding, not to mention emotional damages.

GOOD.

The couple seem like the sort of people who:

Nah, copperheads are dangerous AF. My neighbors lost two dogs to them. Copperheads gotta die. Especially if you have a dog.

So if I’ve got mice in my kitchen, I’m not allowed to set traps because apparently I created the conditions that attracted them? That time my kitten caught a mouse and paraded it around the perimeter of the apartment like a damn gladiator, I should not have been proud of her and removed the mouse from her mouth and…

This is a lovely sentiment, but as a woman, there is no way in hell I am letting a strange homeless person sleep in my house. Have you actually done this?

I understand that people are upset the amount of attention this story is getting, but there are things that make it quite unique and unavoidable. It’s unique mostly because she’s a foreigner, and so it became an international news story. In no other shooting will you have a foreign head of state demanding answers and…

So its absurd to assume someone gets pulled over 52 times for legit reasons? But not absurd to assume every time someone gets pulled over is because they’re being targeted? If you ask me both sound absurd and the truth undoubtedly lies somewhere near the middle.

I don’t think that is what Darion was implying that at all, though to be clear she was not helping ducks at the time she was shot.

You can draw a direct line between the hostile policies and rhetoric against immigrants that are happening nationally, and here in our state, to events like what happened today.

WHAT?!! Do NOT sign a lease before informing your partner you want to break up! Maybe start looking, but that to me feels shitty as well. I know it’s an inconvenience for you to have to find a new place, move shit, etc. but that comes with the territory. I can’t imagine how fucking horrible I’d feel if I found my…

No offense but unless we have the details of the case, we have no idea what occurred or why. Parents always run to the media and they are very often telling us what we want to hear. In the UK where I am, one family put up such a stink that they actually managed to sue and win an apology against the social workers…

Really? So she’s just a shitty human who likes to steal jewelry and people’s identities then? Interesting that this blog fawns over her.

I usually like what you post, but this is a man whose been diagnosed with a (likely) incurable disease. Try some empathy. I mean, I hate his politics, but Jesus Christ, at least try to empathize with his situation. The man has brain cancer for Chrissakes.

“Payne is currently being held without bond in the DeKalb County Jail.”

Yeah, she’s mostly harmless but it’s a little gross how Jez writers find this woman so charming and wonderful.

Not to mention he doesn’t even suck. He picked a really bad running mate, big deal. He was also a war hero and seemed like a decent guy. If political bullshit is a reason to tell a guy who just got a death sentence “fuck you,” then you’re a dickhead (looking at you jujymonkey)
