I’m really sick of this PC crap.....calling someone a name should never be against the law.......blacks call each other niggas and Mo&#erFu@&ers all the time.

By the way Trey Green is black so it’s not surprising which side of the argument he’s on!!!

If you watch the video, observe the behavior of her children. They might have jumped when he started his car, but they aren’t the least bit perturbed by any of this. It’s quite obvious that they are accustomed to seeing their mother throw screaming fits, and they don’t expect anything to come of it.

for crying out loud, they were in a parking lot...car engines are supposed to start

Investigators said city residents Omar Smith, Narvell Benning and Keith Marshall collectively ran 13 debt collection companies under the banner, the Benning Smith Group. The attorney general’s office received over 850 complaints from consumers who faced physical and sexual threats as well as intimidating and sexually harassing tactics in an attempt to collect debts that in many cases, the victims did not owe.

In the statement announcing the lawsuit, Cuomo outlined the charges against the company, charges that appear on the surface even more severe that those companies Cuomo previously cited in his ongoing investigation into credit collection agencies.

“This company made lies, threats and abuse their calling cards in their efforts to manipulate and take advantage of consumers already facing tough economic times,” Cuomo said. “They did everything they could to demean and humiliate their targets, stooping so low as to sexually harass and verbally abuse individuals nationwide.” The lawsuit, filed this morning in State Supreme Court, seeks to shut down all 13 businesses operating under The Benning Smith Group.

Cuomo says the groups actions violated sate and federal laws including posing as law enforcement officials and threatening to jail consumers who didn’t pay their debt immediately.

The release cited over 1,000 instances the AG’s office has identified where Benning-Smith breached state and federal statues.

Cuomo’s investigation revealed that collectors regularly demanded payment for non-existent debts or substantially inflated the amount owed on an actual debt. Using their false law enforcement identities, collectors coerced consumers into agreeing to make payments. Fearful of facing arrest and public humiliation, consumers authorized withdrawals from their checking accounts and sent Western Union money grams or money orders.

According to the AG’s office, in one instance, a Benning-Smith collector kept repeating the name of a consumer’s daughter, describing various sexual things he would do to her unless the debt was paid. Another collector told a female consumer that if both she and her husband would engage in sexual acts with him, he would pay their debt himself. The complaints allege that collectors routinely called consumers drunks, scumbags and deadbeats.

The collection companies that the trio ran operated under the following names: Abrams, Burke & Associates; Benning and Smith Acquisitions, Inc.; Brady and Caruso, LLC; DebtPayments.com; DebtPayments.com, LLC; Fredericks, Goldstein & Zoe; Graham, Noble & Associates Bookkeeping; Graham, Noble & Associates LLC; Graham, Beagle & Associates LLC; Kingman, Cole and Associates, LCC; Marshall and Ziolkowski Enterprise, LLC; Marshall Ziolkowski Acquisitions, LLC; Lansky, Goldstein, Zoe; OLS Payment Services; and University Debt Collection.

In our city, many blacks now habitually park in fire lanes and loading zones, do their shopping, and dare anyone to do anything about it. Sure enough, nobody challenges them — not store managers, police, or firemen. I don't remember seeing this attitude until fairly recently. Is this how Barack Obama wanted to “fundamentally change” our country?

[cynwoody]

She looks like she is Black. Maybe a Quadroon.So, using the dreaded “n-word” is ok.

Janelle Ambrosia. Hmm.

@JanelleAmbrosia (joined Twitter in January 2012). Her recent tweets are an n-word festival, LOL!

[ghost of stonewall jackson]

strutting around like peacocks with their cocksure attitudes, no doubt

[PoplarBluffian]

Yes, it is obscure. You from this neck of the woods?

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

That’s a parody account. The first tweets are AFTER the video was posted.

Whoever owns it is fanning the flames.

” many blacks now habitually park in fire lanes and loading zones,”

Several months ago, I went to the Golden Corral. I walk with a cane, but I had to park way out in the lot. Two black Espalades pulled up and parked in the handicapped spots by the door. They had “Handicapped” hangers for their mirrors, but the cars were full of teenagers, kids, and un-handicapped adults. I called the cops! $250 ticket!

Felts still performs here every now & then to help raise funds to restore an historic theatre downtown. I haven’t been but may check him out the next time. He’s considered a treasure in Southeast Mo......

Wrong! I wouldn't have posted it if it wasn't obvious it was not a parody.

There are plenty of tweets predating the incident. Her first tweet was at 12:10 pm on 15 April 2012: "I'm on twitter." Twitter lists 2012 as her sign-up date. The only way it's a parody is if someone managed to take over her account or hacked into Twitter sufficiently deeply to change sign-up dates. The latter would be like you changing your FR sign-up date from 2002-09-25 to 1941-12-07 or something.

Her tweets prior to the incident are less frequent. The offensive stuff before the incident is mostly retweets. E.g., she retweeted Fleece Johnson tweeting "I'm still trying to figure why Floyd Mayweather got himself a pedicure before he goes to jail [for beating up his girlfriend]... Do he plan on getting his TOES sucked?"

Or, just changed an account they created in 2012 to the new name.
