Which is really primarily what the actual story and subject is about. New laws and unprecedented large sum awards being given over a citation.

cyberdad obviously wanted to make it about "violent conservative white males making death threats to woman" which resulted in him lying.


The article mentioned many things including what you are harping on about.



What I've been harping about is you lying. And the only reason why that's resulted in harping is because you keep trying to worm your way out of the fact that you made something up, that you lied.

What does is say about a man's character and credibility when first he lies and then makes numerous atrempts worm his way out of it?

My harping would have stoped the minute you displayed integrity by admitting the title of this thead and the information it conveys is false.

No there's not, yet you keep trying.

- She decided to file a formal complaint after receiving the citation, which turned into a large settlement after the charge was dropped by the city.
- After name was in the news Ms Krokos told CBS 4 that people had threatened her over the past couple of months, with some calling her “liberal scum”.

There's no pretending this never happened....


I already adressed all that in this thread, which you appearntly did not read all the way through.

Haven't you figured out by now that when you wing it, it's quite obvious that you are winging it?

The neighbor who called the police could be a 15 year old Muslim girl. Or a gay autistic10 year old. Or a zillion other combinations of age, gender, race, religion, political affiliation etc.

What that neighbor did got Effie Krokos Fifty Thousand Dollars.

If a neighbor of mine called the cops on me for whatever reason, which lead to me getting a citation, crank messages and then FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, I'd give that neighbor a thank you card with a $500 giftcard inside it.

Sort of makes up for all the threats.

She wasn’t being immoral.

Don't forget as thanks for the crank calls, thank the neighbor by putting a message on your voicemail that says "....And if you are calling me about a photo opportunity, please call my agent at _______(put neighbor's phone number in the blank)."

People just have to accept a little eccentricity. They can’t just stamp it out by calling the cops.

I'm sure the FBI in in the process tracking down that person as we speak.

The neighbor didn't have anything to do with the crank messages. Effie Krokos going public with her situation is what lead to that.

Since you're so bothered by that call, you probably shouldn't look up 'stupid 911 calls'. It might keep you up at night.

I have to wonder ... what exactly powers this mysterious nipple ray that turns men's minds to mush and threatens the moral fiber of our nation?

That's precisely right----it was a "stupid 911 call."

I just don't like nosy people going around trying to find fault with people.

What's next? Somebody calling the cops because somebody's "stimming" alarmed them?

There are very many lonely and angry people around seeking to get people in trouble.

Like I said, I feel she was lucky she got the $50,000. If this happened to me, I probably wouldn't have gone that far. I would just make sure that the arrest or summons wasn't on my record.

She's fortunate that Bill Clinton wasn't her neighbor.

Okay well let's break it down.
The neighbor sees indecent exposure.
So the neighbor phones the police to report indecent exposure taking place.
The police don't say "that's not indecent exposure" or "you should mind your own business" etc. They presumably say "thank you for letting us know, we'll dispatche an officer to check it out. And then the officer issues a citation for indecent exposure.

The neighbor was simply doing their civic duty to the best of their knowledge.

I feel like it was overkill on the part of all parties; that's the way I feel

You didn't have to "break it down" for me. I ain't no dummy....
