Personally I think this was all a big publicity stunt for a firm of lawyers. Imagine being the firm who can brag about being able to successfully sue two do-gooder’s for aggrivated assault with a remote cookie device!

You people deserve bush for another 4 years, after all, he’ll only be replaced by another corporate drone, fat off kickbacks from multi-billion dollar syndicates.

nice to see people have come together and raised the fine for these kids…

Loathe thy neighbour. Covet thine self.

It’s amazing how a sub-harmonic of fear can be nurtured within such a diverse and widespread nation. Perpetuated by the people themselves, the perfect control mechanism. Keep the populace cowed and fearful, give them the right to bear arms, fill their minds with images of ‘horrifying violence’ and ’scenes of devastation’. Flashcard hypnosis, social engineering, media domination.

In a society where it’s possible to sue the passing stranger who stop’s to give assistance to a car accident victim because they did not have the relevant qualifications to provide professional assistance, it seems only right that spreading a little goodwill among your community should be punishable by the full extent of the law… *ahem*

What really strikes me about this story is the fact that the neighbour lady was sufficiently alarmed to suffer an anxiety attack and require hospital assistance. Did she think they were laced with arsenic or something? Rohypnol maybe, baked by a big bad burglar, waiting for his moment to rob and rape her? Or maybe it could have been an Al-Quaeda bomb, or even filled with mind-control drugs to make her assasinate the president?

Perhaps i’m barking up the wrong tree here, this is all probably just another one of those ‘claims-r-us: sue your socks off for wearing yellow socks’ lawsuits. Baked up by some lonely housewife looking for a shot at Judge Judy style fame/infamy.

That’s a lesson to all Americans: don’t care about your neighbor, ignore them as much as you can instead. Just make sure everybody lives in their little corner and keep on being asocial and isolated. That’s gonna make for a healty society.
