The Homelessness Crisis

[wease]

He’s not a lawyer but he loves litigation.

[Bammer]

I don’t know how many times I have to tell you guys; for however many dozens of claims and suits I’ve been involved in, I have been the Plaintiff exactly once.

[Chris_H_2]

usually only horrible human beings get sued that many times

[spike]

I think Bammer might be a slum lord, or slum lord adjacent.

[Bammer]

My name ain’t on that shiz

[spike]

So, you work for a slum lord.

[Mickey]

...as a lawyer.

[bart]

Is bammer a paralegal?

[Bammer]

So, you work for a slum lord.

Oh man I wish!!

I don’t know how many times I have to tell you guys; for however many dozens of claims and suits I’ve been involved in, I have been the Plaintiff exactly once.

All I said was you loved litigation.

:patrickstewart:

Dude I am always on defense. OMG.

[spike]

Perhaps Bammer is involved with Seattle mob.

Does your jurisdiction have an anti-SLAPP statute?

I didn’t say you were the litigator. Just that you loved litigation.

He’s not a lawyer but he loves litigation.

This sounds like a hip hop lyric.

[spike]

whatever it is, he almost certainly doesn't fully grasp his complicity.

Real talk, wease: I hate it.

Sometimes we settle if that looks like the most practical option. Don’t want to be at the mercy of the judge or waste a lot of time. Just get it over with.

Other times the other side is just plain fucking wrong. I hold my ground, I tell them to drop the case. I beg them to drop the case. Trial is a time suck. They won’t listen to reason, we end up in court, and over 90% of the time after insisting that “we let the judge decide” … the judge tells them exactly what I predicted the judge would say.

The whole process fucking sucks. I hate it. Way too easy to file a small claim. A lot of the people I defeat in small claims court have an “it’s always somebody else’s fault” world view. No personal accountability.

[Bammer]

This should be in the Chris vs. Bammer thread by the way.

[spike]

Your job sounds shitty.

[Bammer]

Your job sounds shitty.

This happens a handful of times per year. Not an everyday thing.
