Haberstam? Hmm to him it’s just one of the chosen people. He’ll want to look for the horns behind her ears when he deposes her in court.

A little preliminary legal research would not go amiss here, Mr. Barnes. Start with Rule 11 of the FRCP.

I’m sure he knows his case is dicey at best. And,of course, Who Would Jesus Sue?

OH, I’m so scared that you’ve tried the tRUmp game…the smirk says it all. Where was the father, he was a chaperone or was he egging his son on as some photos show.

Can we effing get rid of the bothsider line that it’s OK for a mob to surround and taunt a native american elder in front of the Lincoln Memorial if he walks toward them?

Also, is a lawyer claiming that someone has committed obvious libel when they haven’t actionable as slander?

Were Lincoln Memorial police also on furlough? I bet if a couple of them were just walking in the vicinity this would not have happened.
Good luck with the law suit. I’m sure your bold statement will fizzle in the next 48 hours.

Kid is a smirking asshole. He and his were responding to racist chants with racist demonstrations of their own and he doesn’t think he owes an apology for misunderstanding the guy trying to keep the peace?

His parents are clearly enablers.

Awesome! Now there will be dozens of pictures and videos that will emerge in discovery that they, maybe, would rather not. If they want futures and careers and all. They can add that to their college applications.

Well, this smarmy, privileged, arrogant little (expletive deleted) is certainly getting a life lesson from his clearly smarmy, privileged, arrogant (expletive deleted) parents.

And then they will wonder why Sonny grew up to be such a pain in the butt. Maybe he’ll sue Mom and Dad when he doesn’t get his next iPhone upgrade. That’ll teach 'em.
