Reply #114: This is such a burning issue for you isn't it? [View All]

Not one single other lawyer has come on this board and disputed what I've said. So far one first year law student who doesn't know how to read cases, and a lot of people who don't understand our legal system at all.

This is just a private cause of action involving these guys and Richards over him singling out and humiliating them in public. It has nothing to do with black people being able to sue white people for calling them niggers. Okay?

So what..., you weren't aware that there are circumstances under which a person can sue for being "insulted" as you people put it. Apparently a lot of people aren't aware of it.

I refuse to dignify the question "what are the damages"? Especially after listening to that foul tirade. The question presumes that black people are not valued enough to merit protection of their dignity. After all, all he did was call a N*****r a N*****r, right?

Why do you care so much that this guy has a cause of action against Richards? Would you care so much if Richards had hit them in a car and they sued? I don't think so.

By the way, at least I see you admit to the defamation... now you are focused on the "damages". If you knew any law at all you would know that there are some cases in which the behavior is considered to be so outrageous as to not require any special proof of damages.

I've not heard anyone say that the behavior in this case is not hideous, desicable and outrageous, ... or are you now willing to try and go there and claim it was not outrageous... all just so you can try and deny these citizens their right to pursue a claim if they want to.
