100 years for second degree assault. Glad they didn’t throw the book at him.

New definition of chutzpah.

This is just nutty!?

Sometimes life seems like a bad Monty Python skit.

Did they post a warning on the box with an illustrative cartoon showing it?
If not they are responsible,

That isn't the half of it. We're talking about a pimp, a ho, and a horndog here. The feddle gummint will ignore all that and just use this as an excuse to tax and regulate our footwear.

Reminds me of the urban mother outraged an armed Good Samaritan shot her son who was robbing a 7-11, holding everyone at gunpoint:

She was genuinely outraged someone interfered with her son’s robbery.

If this doesn’t get bounced in Nike’s backyard, something’s horribly, horribly wrong with their civil court system.

His lawyer should lose his license for filing a suit like this.

From the article:

'I’ve evaluated serial murders, serial rapists, and I’m going to tell you very few of those people reach the [scores] we’re going to talk about here,' the psychologist, Frank Colistro, reportedly said. 'People like Mr. Clardy are born bad. It’s not something we can fix. That’s why we have prisons.'

********

That's also one reason why we have the Second Amendment

James Lipton used to be a pimp! No foolin'!

Parade article.
Is it true you were a pimp in Paris in the 1950s?

“I was. It was only a few years after the war. Paris was different then, still poor. Men couldn’t get jobs and, in the male chauvinist Paris of that time, the women couldn’t get work at all. It was perfectly respectable for them to go into le milieu.”

Prostitution?
“Young women desperately needed money for various reasons. They were beautiful and young and extraordinary. There was no opprobrium because it was completely regulated. Every week they had to be inspected medically. The great bordellos were still flourishing in those days before the sheriff of Paris, a woman, closed them down. It was a different time.”

How did your involvement come about? You became friends with one of the prostitutes in Paris?
“We became great friends. When I ran out of money, I said, ‘I have to go home.’ She said, ‘No, you don’t. I’ll arrange for you.’ So she arranged for me to do it. I had to be okayed by the underworld; otherwise they would’ve found me floating in the Seine.”

Did you represent more than one girl?
“Yes, a whole bordello. I represented them all, but her especially. I did a roaring business, and I was able to live for a year. The French mecs didn’t exploit women. They represented them, like agents. And they took a cut. That’s how I lived. I was going through my rites of passage, no question about it. It was a great year of my life.”

Do you think people should buy sex?
“I really don’t. I think if you can’t earn it on your own, then you don’t deserve it.”

This is the most bestest lawsuit in history!!!

These assault Air Jordan shoes must be controlled.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

LOL! Holder’s people at it again. How is it though that he had to hand write all this and represent himself? Where is Holder’s Justice Dept? Seems they could be helping him...

[Moose Burger]

* Unsubstantial. Shoes or not the result would have been the same on the poor chap’s head: being stomped on. If anything, the tennis shoes prevented unwanted exposure to biological agents.

Here. Send it to Nike, tell them they’re saving millions, bill them for a couple thousands. Master plan. I suppose I should include a mwahaha or two somewhere, but I’m lazy tonight

[lee martell]

The twisted irony is, because of his present living situation, in prison, this guy may end up working for a pimp himself.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

A Portland (liberal shithole city) pimp? Why didn’t they just come out and say Democrat politician?
