New title:
I think he meant to say "shakedown".
"I don't think he'll have a snowball's chance of winning this"... Sadly I agree, California Jurors, especially in Los Angeles County, seem to give all celebrities a pass. Jessie Jacson seems to be untouchable, unaccountable for any of his actions. He is not a good man
Welcome to FR, both of ya.
You might also wanna check out the Free Republic Lexicon (just do a search on "Lexicon," you'll find it). It'll help make some sense of posts that are series, hugh, or have stuned beebers, or even that refer to moose and cheese. :)
..."The issue is certain parasites trying to pick up fruit from trees they didn't shake."
This is Jesse's scam and he doesnt want anyone else to share in it, He has worked for years getting this extortion scam down to perfection and now some other Reverend wants a piece of the action. No wonder Jesse is mad. The Rainbow Coalition has bills to pay , like child support, How dare this Reverend walk in and expect to profit from Jesse's scam.
Just to clarify--you mean Madam Sheehan, not new FReeper cindycin, right?
Sista Sheehan, that's correct.
Welcome to Free Republic! Have fun...or just throw stuff around.
Judicial Watch is 0 for umpteen.
