The Lost Angeles City council had stepped in to hold up the 2.7 million award..
Why?

The fireman who was 'hazed' had a history of puilling pranks himself...like helping shave the groin of a rookie and some other shenanigans...
Someone sent photos to a local radio station, in those pics Mr Pierce was clearly seen laughing and helping in the hazings.

The kicker?

The "civil rights" groups in the area are upset that the award is questioned.


Slavery and dog food?

what a stretch.

I am (almost) at a loss for words.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I usually avoid reading things like this because they make me SO angry.

So .... a guy can dish it out but can't take it? And for this he gets almost 3 million dollars??

This just SICKENS me.

:mad:

From the comment Forum below the story


When I was an infant, I was placed for adoption. Because I am half-black, I was paced with a biracial couple, who beat me, resulting in my hospitalization at 12 weeks old. Once I healed, the hospital and the agency sent me back to the same home. Once again, I was abused. This time, after another hospitalization, I was removed from the home.

My adoptive parents later sued the agency, the hospital, and the state (and of coure, the couple), due to my injuries. To this day, I am blind in one eye, have symptoms of traumatic brain injury, and have other issues that have affected me over the years as the result of the abuse.

Clearly, my placement in this home was racially motivated, as was the decision not to pull a harder-to-place child from an abusive home, or report it as abuse. The settlement? $300,000, out of court. Naturally, the lawyers got 1/3 of that. The remainder didn't begin to cover all the medical bills I've racked up over the years.

Now I hear that this black firefighter got $2.7 million for his racially-motivated ordeal of...eating dog food? Pardon my lack of sympathy for his anguish.

Maybe if the abusive couple my parents sued had fed me dog food, I would have had more of a case.

Am I the only person who finds this assinine? Ive had to eat dog food to SURVIVE and this jerk feels "harassed"?!?!

Crawl in a hole with your 2.5 mil...:mad:
