I’m sorry you went through that. I hope things are better with your Dad now.

I’d give her the big bucks, too.

No kidding; I get angry every time I hear someone cracking jokes about the Hot Coffee case. McDonalds couldn’t have possibly been more negligent, the woman was severely maimed, all she wanted were her medical expenses, and the only reason she was awarded such a large payout (that she never received because the judge…

Scrambling to blame someone (who just might happen to have money to give you payday) is disgusting behavior.

Are they responsible for how they reacted to lawsuits from shell shocked and grieving families? You bet.

Years ago I read an Anna Quindlen column that she wrote about someone who was killed by her abuser and she talked about the Orders of Protection and how some woman who worked for the DA said, of this victim or some other who was killed while holding an Order of Protection from her abuser, “She should have gotten a…

Basically, the judge didn’t understand the limitations of the monitors and probably…

Mom, I’m just going to TALK to her. Tell her how SORRY I am and make her see how much I LOVE her. — bet that’s why mom really didn’t call the police.

I’m sick and tired of demonstrably, dangerously violent criminals being allowed to keep their guns.

Ding, ding, ding! Nail on the head.

Why, indeed. It’s like judges DGAF.

Why the fuck was he released from jail? He had just kidnapped her, assaulted her and a judge decides it a-ok to let him out with an ankle bracelet?

No, I never have and I actually worked in two busy movie theaters downtown in my city.

oh that sounds reasonable then

Wow. The optics of Cinnemark’s decision is Trump-level terrible. It’s like they woke up and said “Yeah, I’m gonna be a dick to people today. A YOOOGE DICK!”
