Couple take lumps since cookie suit
Denver Post ^ | Feb. 17, 2005 | Electa Draper

Durango - Herb Young turned the telephone off again Tuesday after it rang at 12:40 a.m.

One recent caller had told him that "you should be found dead in a ditch."

Nine out of 10 calls to his house are from "crackpots," he said, ever since a plate of cookies and a case in La Plata County Small Claims Court turned life upside down.

Would you have sued under similar circumstances?

"Our home is like a funeral parlor," Renea Young said. "They've robbed us of our laughter. My spirit, my soul, is damaged."

I kind of doubt there was much laughter in that house to begin with.

In the article the SHERIFF told the women to LEAVE their house for the night!!!!

This sheriff is as whacky as the lady who sued. Telling a family to leave their house just because someone knocked on their door and left a plate of cookies??? Give me a break! She should have sued him for being such a "Chicken Little" and aggravating her pathetic neurosis.

Sean Hannity, please don't read this thread! It'll buttress your claim that Free Republic eats its own and is full of nutsos and nastiness. The pack charges out howling at the suer, attacks and smears those who take a second look at the actual situation. Reminds me of the insanity here re that Dad who took his little kids to Kerry rallies, got his child to wave a Bush sign, and a baddie tore up the sign. Man! There were self-described "snake-eaters" who were going to provide that Dad with 24/7 protection, people who sobbed about the trauma to the kids, yada, yada. A handful of posters out of hundreds and hundreds recognized the foolishness of the father. My son also took his kids to rallies with Bush stickers--but they were Bush rallies.

As earlier stated, who knows the relationship between the slug and the sob sister sheriff...maybe he did his grocery shopping at the Durango Food Bank

Life is too short to be grouchy over such minor things. BushIsTheMan might benefit from one of these:

I suppose this puts me in the "hateful" category. Oh, well. It's a nice day, and I'm going out to get a little fresh air and sunshine. My life is not this forum. ;-)

I just hope no one tries to leave any cookies on my front porch. The horror!

I don't believe anyone was hiding in the shadows particularly for any malevolent purpose. After not getting any response the girls left the cookies and returned to their car. But Nutbag's imagination had gone into high gear by then and her fantasies took over.

You were supporting the insane response from one who DID purpose shooting first and asking questions later. Thus it is good to here that you aren't as wussied up as he. Although it is difficult to imagine a man reacting that way other than a lily-livered liberal.

The offer to pay by the parents was just an act of kindness and in no way appropriate but since Nutbag sensed weakness it was never forthcoming since she wouldn't forego other predatory attacks through the legal system, sometimes known as Shakedown Central. Any judge in his right mind would have thrown the case out and charged Nutbag for court costs.

I don't do anonymous harassment but must say these parasites are getting exactly what they deserve.

Since when is it a crime to knock at a neighbors door at night to drop off cookies?Maybe I could understand splitting the medical bills but this lady shouldn't get a dime just because she's a drama queen.

Only an imbecile would leave their home because someone knocked on the door. Nutbag's hysterical response was not helped by this foolish suggestion by the Sheriff. No REAL "country" person would even think of doing that AND would have a firearm handy if a real problem turned up. But these were obviously liberals afraid of their own shadows and incapable of defending themselves from their own imaginations.

Someone earlier said this judge should be off the bench and I cannot agree more and hope the voters of that district are reminded of this ruling when he is up for retention. Lawyers and Liberals are the bane of the nation. We are becoming a nation of frightened rabbits.

The proof is the hysterical ravings of Nutbag. What is she going to claim next this horrible episode caused her looks to go too? You claim to be conservative while lapping up the bile spewed by this idiot?

I pity Nutbag's daughter who is now the laughing stock of the community and must continue to live with one whose SOUL has been damaged by a knock on the door. What could be worse than living with one with a damaged soul?

I bet that home has been like a funeral parlor for a long, long time. Wonder who she's going to sue for THAT? Bush??

Hey man, their were stupid things done and mistakes made on both sides, but I am sick to death of bs lawsuits. Everyone sues over everything, and in the end we all pay.
Remember the good ole days when there were accidents and apologies and just people you didn't like? Everyone dealt with it like grown-ups instead of going to their mommy, i.e.judge, and crying "she touched me!"

I AM SO EFFING TIRED OF PEOPLE TRYING TO GET MONEY EVERYTIME THEY ARE SCARED OR SAD OR MAD OR FAT OR STUPID OR UGLY OR GET THEIR WITTLE FEEWINGS HURT. JUST DEAL.

And you are right. Bush is the man.
