Robinson et al v. City of Milwaukee et al

[CompoundBasement]

We've only had to hire a lawyer once for something and they were able to reach a resolution without filing anything, is it normal for lawyers to let you write your own filings? lol. "Hey, I know you went to law school but let me sperg on for 27 paragraphs like this is Twitter."

Yes, it's common for narcissistic assholes like Fatso to insist on writing all of their own shit for their cases because they consider themselves smarter than the lawyers and hate being told "no, this won't work". You hire an attorney to represent you and the attorney will do what you ask, to a point. For example, the attorney won't file anything which will get himself in hot water with the judge, ruin his own reputation, and especially risk getting himself sanctioned and disbarred.

Often times with people like Fatso, it's just easier to let the asshole client write their own motions, etc. because lawyers hate writing all of it anyway, especially when they don't have an office full of paralegals to do that mundane work for them. The lawyers will look over what the client submits and add and omit things before it's filed, but leave a lot of what the client INSISTS remains. The client simply won't lisTen when they are told what is nonsense, irrelevant, and will annoy the judge, so they do whatever it takes to represent their client to the best of their ability.

So what are the odds of this sad excuse of a rebuttal moves things forward? Pats ready to pony up another $10k to drag this out. What is the next step if it does? Someone said "discovery". Would going into a discovery phase humiliate pat and expose his lies? I might want to see that movie.

Brinton Resto, comment?

Scheduling reminders:
Defendants may file reply within 2 weeks

also this is on the schedule too for later on, if the judge doesn't dismiss before then

If the judge allows this to proceed to trial, whomever is funding their lawsuit will most likely need to shell out MANY more thousands before it can proceed. It's not like he's some A-list client which will make celebrity lawyers out of their firm. If Fatso's benefactor can't come up with a decent down payment at least, the lawyers can make a motion to withdraw and drop Fatso and the frump wife as clients. It's not guaranteed the judge will grant the withdrawal, but that's usually how it goes.

Guaranteed if the city doesnt settle he drops the case. I don't know how he gets his lawsuit money but the person cannot have a bottomless bank account

Especially against the bankroll of a fuckin city.

 

[RickReternal]

There’s a slim chance this was taken on contingency, maybe higher than the 33% lawyers usually take of the settlement. I know I will get wedgied for saying this…it’s just crazy to me that Pat would pay out of pocket for such a long shot case (and trust me, I really really do believe he’s stupid). Also whose money? He has nothing of his own. They’re just sucking Lynne dry? No, I think maybe Odell had a lean year and decided this was worth a risk. Crash me.

The only reason I cant fully say "no" to the Lynne theory is because her daughter is the main person on it.

I hear it’s closer to 40 percent.

I can't imagine going to trial was ever part of Pat's plan, which is why I kinda wanted to see one (and he still loses) vs. an up-front dismissal. He thinks that's he's pulling off some amazing "turn $XX,XXX into $X,XXX,XXX" play. A trial may very well be an unintended consequence. Which would be fucking hilarious.

 

[wbgreen]

Best part of the trial will be all the video. So many police body cameras of Pat’s hysterics in a bath robe.

 

[Confused White Kid]

It's weird but yeah. This was clearly written by a lawyer:

Quoting court cases and using unbiased language.

But then there's this:

Let me tell you EXACTLY what the swatters were thinking. "Without delving into the gritty details".

It really makes the entire brief really confusing, switching from legalese to Patrick's verbose storytelling.

Lol this is like William Faulker's As I Lay Dying


I don't know who's talking or what's going on.
Nice Post-Modern legal motion, stupid.

 

[Slackjawed Cow]

What are the odds pat and Niki along with an AI program put this together on their plane flight to and from Worldcon?

I got a new theory by applying Tomlinson's law. When presented with 2 options Rick will always pick a 3rd option so stupid you could have never guessed it.

He definitely took a home equity loan against the hovel to pay for this. No more lein after Quasi got paid, and this is a sure thing.

They have no equity, though. Or, very little.

 

[SensibleKeks]

Yet another L for Rick by proving false information about the Brewers opening. Nice self-imposed ethical conflict, stupid.

Wrong as always sweet summer child. As the article clearly states, both Brian Anderson and Brice Turbang each hit a home run during the game. Bomb threats confirmed.

Replay: Brewers 10, New York Mets 0; it's a blowout in home-opening victory

lol to whoever the rascal who did this

The incident where the cops handcuffed him and he yelled like a crazy woman is the first swatting he cites as a 4th Amendment violation. Can’t wait for the police footage to be admitted as evidence. That audio from a Facebook neighbor is all we have!

More evidence the SWATter isn’t from here. Any of us would have said Nikki was caught in bed with a woman.

 

[DominusOdium]

I'm on page 2 and it really seems like he wrote most of it, it's way too dramatic and emotional.

This lawsuit is about officers ignoring the information in front of their noses! Nobody who graduated law school would write that.

This is Patrick's authorial voice for sure.

 

[DominusOdium]

Is it 52 or 46?

Even he isn't stupid enough to puff numbers up in an actual filing
