THIS NUT JOB IS ALSO A JUDGE?
WHEN SOMEONE FILES A SUTE LIKE THIS HE SHOULD BE MADE NOT ONLY TO PAY FOR THE CLEANERS TIME BUT THE COST OF LOSING HIS BUSINESS AND LAWYERS FEES! OUR COURTS ARE TIED UP ENOUGH TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO SUE ANOTHER PERSON OVER SOMETHING LIKE A PAIR OF PANTS

IT MAKES ME QUITE ANGRY THAT THE COURT EVEN ALLOWED THIS IN I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CLEANER HAS LOST A LOT OF MONEY TO DEFEND HIMSELF IN THIS CASE. HE IS A WORKING SLOB TRING TO SUPPORT HIS FAMILY
OUR COURTS MUST CHANGE TO FREE IT UP FROM CASES LIKE THIS! I BELIEVE THAT NOT ONLY SHOULD THIS GUY PAY ALL LAWYER FEES, BUT TO BE FINED FOR BRINGING SUCH A STUPID CASE TO COURT AND ALSO IN THIS CASE HE SHOULD BE FIRED AND BANNED FROM SERVING ON ANY JURY, COURT, ECT
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IF YOU WERE A JUDGE WOULD YOU ALLOW
THIS CASE IN?
OR DISMISS IT AS BEING GROUNDLESS

Video Judge wants $54 million for lost pants

Opening Statements Delivered In Lawsuit Against Dry Cleaner
June 12, 2007

WASHINGTON - A judge pressed a $54 million lawsuit Tuesday against a dry cleaning shop that he said violated consumer-protection laws when it lost his pants.

Roy L. Pearson, an administrative judge for the District of Columbia, told a local court that Custom Cleaners should pay the sum because a “satisfaction guaranteed” sign deceived consumers who, like him, were dissatisfied with their experience.

“You will search the records of the District of Columbia courts in vain for a case of more egregious or willful misconduct,” Pearson told Judge Judith Bartnoff.

The lawyer for the Korean immigrants who run the dry cleaner said Pearson was looking for a way to resolve his financial difficulties after a divorce.

“It’s simply a frivolous lawsuit brought by an unhappy customer with a bone to pick,” attorney Chris Manning said.

Pearson filed suit after the cleaners lost his pants in 2005. Jin Chung, Soo Chung and Ki Chung said they located the pants a few days later, but Pearson said they were not his.

Judge reduced his claim
Pearson counted 12 separate violations of a consumer-protection law over 1,200 days, multiplied by the three defendants. At $1,500 per day, that is $65 million.

He also seeks $15,000 to rent a car to take his clothes to another cleaner for the next 10 years, among other charges.

He has rejected several settlement offers.

Pearson has since reduced his claim to $54 million.

The Chungs, who immigrated from South Korea in 1992, have grown disillusioned with the United States and might return to their native country, Manning said.

The case, expected to conclude on Wednesday, has attracted attention as an example of over-litigiousness in the United States.

The Washington Post questioned whether Pearson should remain in his job hearing cases involving the decisions of D.C. government agencies.

“The case raises serious questions about his judgment and temperament,” the newspaper wrote in an editorial.

 PROTECTING OUR BORDERS
 

ICE arrests 217 alien fugitives and immigration violators
Posted by Gloucester County Times May 01, 2007 7:40AM
Categories: Crime, State and Regional News

NEWARK -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) today announced the successful completion of a three-week targeted law enforcement operation in New Jersey that resulted in the arrest of 217 immigration violators and alien fugitives, including 37 with criminal records.

As part of "Operation Return to Sender", a nationwide ICE program to reduce illegal immigration, ICE Fugitive Operation Teams (FOTs) fanned out across the Garden state to arrest priority criminal and fugitive aliens. ICE has three fugitive operation teams in New Jersey.

From April 9 to April 27, ICE officers arrested 75 fugitives. The other 142 people apprehended were aliens illegally present in the United States. The individuals arrested during the three-week statewide operation came from the following 32 countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Mexico, Ecuador, El Salvador, Ghana, Guatemala, Guinea, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Morocco, Nepal, Nigeria, Nicaragua, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Trinidad, Uruguay, and Yugoslavia.

"For ICE, removing criminal and fugitive aliens from our streets and neighborhoods is a agency-wide initiative that improves our national security and combats the rise in local crime rates," said acting field office director Bartolome Rodriguez, who leads ICE's detention and removal efforts in Newark. "Our Fugitive Operation Teams work closely with local law enforcement partners throughout the year identifying dangerous criminal aliens and placing them in removal proceedings."

Criminal convictions among those arrested include sexual assault, child abuse, domestic violence, theft, criminal mischief, weapons charges, counterfeit credit cards, identity theft, burglary, possession of drugs with the intent to distribute, terroristic threats, patronizing prostitution, aggravated assault, and driving under the influence. Highlighted arrests include:

• David Monroy-Garcia, a 34-year-old Mexican national arrested for punching and kicking his pregnant girl's stomach in an attempt to kill their unborn baby. The baby survived. Monroy-Garcia is convicted of terroristic threats.

• Wen Tuan Wu, a 38-year-old Chinese national arrested in Atlantic City for felony theft of moveable property.

• Edgar Gomez Romero, a 32-year-old Mexican national convicted of assault, burglary and criminal mischief.

• Wesley Stephen Retemiah, a 41-year-old Guyanan national convicted of multiple drug offenses and weapons possession.

The subjects became fugitives when they defied an order from a federal immigration judge and failed to leave the United States. All of the fugitives had the opportunity for full due process under the law. The fugitives arrested will remain in ICE custody pending their final removal from the country. The other individuals arrested have been placed in immigration removal proceedings.

The New Jersey operation is part of the nationwide interior immigration enforcement strategy announced in 2005 by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and ICE Assistant Secretary Julie L. Myers. A critical element of that strategy is to identify, locate and remove criminal aliens, fugitives, and other immigration violators from the United States.

The interior enforcement strategy is part of the Department of Homeland Security's broader Secure Border Initiative (SBI), a multi-year plan to secure America's borders and reduce illegal migration. Those efforts are focused on gaining operational control of the nation's borders through the deployment of additional personnel and technology, while re-engineering the detention and removal system to ensure that illegal aliens are quickly removed from the country.

Since May 26, 2006, New Jersey's Operation Return to Sender has resulted in the arrest of over 1,585 immigration violators, including 253 criminal aliens.

YOU KNOW MY PARENTS CAME THROUGH ELLIS ISLAND AND LEARNED ENGLISH AS WELL AS MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS BEFORE THEM.
IT IS TOTALY UNFAIR TO THE PERSON SEEKING ADMISSION INTO OUR COUNTRY LEGALY
WE HAVE TO TAKE STEPS TO STOP THIS COMING TO OUR COUNTRY WITHOUT PAPERS,
THIS MUST BE DONE! WE ARE ALLOWING PEOPLE IN TO OUR COUNTRY WITHOUT BACKGROUND CHECKS!
NOW THEY ARE GOIUNG TO PASS A BILL THAT WILL ALLOW THESE FOLKS TO STAY HERE WITH OUT ANY PUNISHMENT???
WHAT THE H--- IS GOING ON?

WE MUST TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT OUR BORDERS!
LIKE I HAVE STATED BEFORE ON MY BLOGS I HAVE TRAVELED WORLD WIDE AND IN EACH COUNTRY I GOT VISAS AND HAD MY U.S. PASSPORT WITH ME TO SHOW
I THINK WE ARE INVITING TROUBLE WHEN WE ALLOW THESE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE INTO OUR COUNTRY WITHOUT PROPER PAPERS.
I AM SURE THIS IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY AND UNLESS WE ALLOW OUR BORDER PATROLS TO DO THEIR JOB WITHOUT FEAR OF GOING TO PRISON
GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

 BEWARE SUMMER IS HERE AND SO ARE THE PREADORS
 

SUMMER TIME SHOULD BE A FUN TIME FOR ALL CHILDREN AND PARENTS. THERE IS SOMETHING YOU MUST BE AWARE OF!
THE CHILD PREADOR IT MAKES ME SO MAD TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR CHILDREN. I REALLY BELIEVE THESE SICKO'S ARE SHOWING UP MORE AND MORE.
WATCHING "N.B.C. TO CATCH A PREADOR" MAKES ME SICK AND ALSO VERY VERY ANGRY. HOW DARE THESE "GUYS" DO THIS. I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THIS HAD BEEN A REAL BOY/GIRL OF 12 OR 13 YEARS.

PARENTS WE MUST PROTECT OUR CHILDREN AT ALL COSTS. IF YOU ALLOW A COMPUTER IN THE HOUSE THEN IT MUST BE PLACED WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOUR CHILD IS DOING.
WATCH THEIR E-MAIL, THIS IS WHERE THE PREADOR IS COMING IN. THROUGH SITES LIKE "MY SPACE"

YOU AND YOUR CHILD MUST AGREE THAT ANY MAIL SHE/HE RECEIVES CAN BE VIEWED BY YOU.
THIS IS WHERE THE PREDOR COMES TO GET TO YOUR CHILD.
IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO BE ALONE ON THE COMPUTER.
