"Stingballs?"
I guess it's not politically correct to call them things you shoot out of guns as bullets.
This one was in Oakland so I guess she doesn't get a dime.
I live in the Portland metro area and I am pissed. These jerks were protesting without permits and TROUNCING all over everyone elses civil rights! And now the city is going to PAY them!!!????! Darn it all to hell this city and state in general is so screwed up,they are staring at the backs of their own throats from the inside(wink/nod)! Those protestors DESERVED what they got. THEY were the one's BREAKING THE LAW!!!! Katz is an IDIOT to settle this, the protesters should be cleaning the medians of the freeways in community service to learn that civil rights DO NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO BREAK THE LAW!!!!!!! If they want so bad to exercise their rights, THEN RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF EVERYONE ELSE AS WELL!!!! Bloody hippocrit/liberal/dims. Katz, liberal dim that she is, REWARDS them!!!!!! This stinks to high heaven.
Some plaintiffs pledged to donate a portion of their settlements to the Northwest Constitutional Rights Center.
And here is how their Web site describes it:
Case #1 The first lawsuit stems from a visit by George Bush to Portland Oregon on August 22, 2002. A loud but peaceful crowd had gathered in the area designated for protest. Much to the surprise of the crowd, suddenly heavily armed riot police came past the barricades. The unprovoked members of law enforcement went wild with pepper spray, attacking protesters by aiming the burning liquid directly in the eyes at close range. Some police even sprayed directly in people's mouths, where the reaction caused the constriction of airways passages and choking.
A family of four, having observed the escalating violence, attempted to leave the area. Their exit was blocked by police, who then sprayed all four members of the family, including a 2 year old and 7 month old child. Fearing for their children's life, the blinded couple cried our for medical assistance, but their pleas went unheeded by police. Only much later were they eventually transported to a hospital by friends. The city has attempted to settle out of court, but their meager cash settlement was rejected by the family and NWCRC layers.
....
their meager cash settlement was rejected!~
F. the brownshirts for Kerry.
In case anyone DOESN'T know... those "independent observers" are communist ACLU lawyers and communist ACLU operatives. Look for the late forty to late fifty white males with grey hair and beard and video recorders. They're there every time.
Remember Bush I calling the People's Republic of Portlandistan "little Beirut" after rioting freaks rioted against him?
(sarcasm OFF)
Portland? We call it Moscow on the Willamette "River for those of you who live in a Different locale". The loud and the Boisterous have a strong foothold here. They go out and disrupt traffic close down sections of town and basically are a bunch of A-Holes. It's not surprising that they got a payoff, this will only encourage them. I wounder how long it will be until this Jack-Ass Jughead Judge is added to the "Fifth __________Circus Court of Repeals"? Insert your favorite beverage in the space provided. Vodka,Gin where ya been? I sure hope this doesn't stand. 20 miles from the scene of the crime and wish I could move further.
