So what is the cost of a reputation that has been smeared nation-wide? Of being held for hours with no justification and with no relief of sustenance or of being able to go to the bathroom? What it the cost of being unjustly strip-searched and being put into solitary confinement in a straight jacket, just because the cop didn’t like you? All those involved should be fired and jailed themselves. They are the true criminals, yet they most likely still have their badges.

If this was some liberal who was unjustly imprisoned by a right-wing nut, I think that your tune would be different.

This story of Ms Genovese is strange as strange gets. If what happened to her is true then she is owed more than $70 million. I find it really strange that the county didnt defend itself or release a press statement or anything. That Ms Genovese is wack-o is not a question but even wack-o’s have constitutional rights. If she had been a gay man who was denied constitutional rights this case would’ve gone main stream right away.

I realize that this is old news, but FoxNewsBoycott does come off as being pretty blatantly biased.

For just one example, why did you bring up the statute about trespassing “with firearms”, when you knew (the police admitted even in some of the more sensationalist stories) that her firearms were legally put away in locked cases in the trunk of her car? There is no way that statute could apply. But your bringing it up sure implied that she had done something wrong…

I hope that she gets every penny she asked for. The city attorney did not file his response in time, so if the judge is reasonable, he might very well award it to her.

Yep. This is where we’re headed, boys and girls, when one side will not tolerate the opinions of the other side.

Nancy, I’m an attorney. You have a right to your law suit and I hope you win. I have no doubt you will win if the facts are as you say they are.

What people may not understand is that the attorney drafting the complaint usually inserts the amount demanded for damages, and the Plaintiff does not usually get that amount. It’s just a figure that is usually pulled out of thin air, so please don’t go hard on Nancy for asking for that amount.

But think about it. If these facts are true, isn’t Nancy entitled to money? Shouldn’t the officers who committed these atrocities be punished and fired if Nancy is successful in her lawsuit?

I hope this lawsuit goes to trial. I hope there is no settlement. Settlement would indicate that no one is guilty, that they merely settled to make the case go away. But a successful trial would mean that Nancy was right about her side of the story.

Yes $70mil. About $30mil less than I would have sued for.

$70mil calls for a drastic change in their policies and training and probably hiring standards so they don’t do things that will cost them $70mil. again.

Do you follow?

I can’t help but be skeptical of the Long Island Lawyer Blog. It totally ignores what her myspace says despite being archived by webcitation.org. It seems like they only had one source of what “actually” happened, and they aren’t even disclosing this source. They’re discussing events as fact and tugging on heartstrings. As lawyers, they totally know they’re doing this since its their job to persuade people. However, there are a ton of flaws in what they’re saying. All their other blog posts are pretty legit, though.

Also, I posted a comment on their blog that said “great blog post, but where did you get all this information?” It was awaiting moderation when I submitted it (the night of the 17th,) and obviously did not pass.

Oh how America has fallen! When you are not killing presidents of foreign nations, engaging in wars of genocide or colour revolutions, you are now torturing your own citizens!

This particular case should be brought to the attention of the United Nations and Amnesty International, as the agencies described are functionaries of the US governemnt, and as such are subject to a whole new set of laws which are not covered by US Law.

It is just another sad case of a person being abused near an airport.
Don’t be a foreigner travelling through the USA, or a reporter.
There are thousands of cases of abuse of foreign nationals by airport authorities in the USA.
Now it has happened to one of their own citizens.
