Not. $78,000 now on top of a $98,000 judgement last year...these are fines that Roger cannot sustain, and MALDEF will not leave him alone after this.
There you go. They will squeeze him dry.
You know, I'm serious about a suggestion I made recently: we should find out who the MALDEF lawyers, supporters or cutouts are and stage protests on their property. Take 20, 30 people and willfully trespass. When they come out screaming or flashing weapons (don't worry, they will), then go after them the same way.
As I pointed out on another thread....property is all they really care about in that culture. They sure as hell won't stand for trespassers. What does everyone think the wrought iron bars and fences are about?
Sue them for emotional distress. If they call you "gringo", add a racism charge.
All six plaintiffs are citizens of Mexico, five of whom are living in the United States with visa applications pending, and the sixth resides in Mexico but was allowed into the U.S. for the trial, said Nina Perales, an attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. She declined to say where in the U.S. they're residing.
So Mr. Barnett was sued by people who a) only are allowed to live in the U.S. because the court decided to let this sham go forward (anyone can submit a visa application. It's a meaningless comment that has nothing to do with them being here), b) a felon who sensibly stays in Mexico (I'm assuming that's who the one in Mexico is - the Marshall's service would probably be waiting for him as he left the courtroom otherwise), and c) people who apparently have no known residence, other than "in the U.S." - and that only temporarily (they probably want his appeal to go on forever - that way their temp visas stay in force).
What can we all say about a judge who goes along with this?
Not much that has any respect.
