My rear car window was broken after something fell from construction site scaffolding and now developer is giving me the run around claiming no legal liability.I parked my car on the street for about an hour and returned to find my car window broken. I found paint remnants and hand prints on my car from where a construction worker leaned over to remove the item that fell onto the car breaking the back window. I called the police and filled out a police report, spoke with the construction site supervisor and the officer pointed out that it was quite obvious that this was done by one of his workers based on the evidence. Unfortunately there were no witnesses of the item or items falling from the scaffolding only the guy/gal who dropped them and then tried to cover it up. The developer initially stated he would pay for the damage which amounted to 800 dollars, but now the guy is giving me a hard. Shouldn't I be able to file a complaint with the city? He's building condos.

If a male exposes himself (even for a quick moment) to a female employee while they are the only two in the store (both are employees) how much money can the female get in lawsuits and how much trouble will the guy get into?

I am asking as a hypothetical question just because me and a friend are arguing that the female would get more from suing the store than suing the male who exposed himself.

constitution of the United States?

Our country was designed around these principles for a reason.
The judiciary and the executive and the legislative branches were supposed to have equal powers in government.

Bush calls himself a compassionate conservative. Wouldn't a conservative want to preserve our system, not exploit it?

... conversely, how many moderates are sick of fighting off the 'new world order', the total lack of diplomacy, and accepted harsh treatment shown to those perceived as enemies

it's almost like they embrace the lack of intelligence and absence of rational thought ... are Christian's getting 'dumber and dumberer'?

house and using it to murder (or kill) a burglar? There are no exceptions when the Bible says Thou shalt not murder (or kill), and self-defence is not an excuse for breaking one of the commandments! And if he was just going to rob you, not kill you, you are twice as wrong.

What are your thoughts? http://www.advocatesforrotc.org/columbia/ lol citiz thats funny.


Deleted Answer: Welcome to the Liberal way of education! We welcome lunatic moron terrorist to our school but won't allow ROTC because it is Military. It is too bad that the same organizations can't have their freedoms, that many many Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines have died for, taken away.

These guys put their lives on the line for America every day. They are true patriots in every sense of the word. Shouldn't we listen to them, don't we owe them that for what they did for our Nation?

September 23, 2007 – Seven CIA veterans have severely criticized the official account of 9/11 and have called for a new investigation. “I think at simplest terms, there’s a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke,” said Raymond McGovern, 27-year veteran of the CIA, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates during the seventies. “There are a whole bunch of unanswered questions. And the reason they’re unanswered is because this administration will not answer the questions,” he said. McGovern, who is also the founder of VIPS (Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity), is one of many signers of a petition to reinvestigate 9/11.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orange County deputy who was struck by a hit-and-run driver on Interstate 4 on Tuesday died Wednesday night.

Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary announced that Deputy Michael Callin was removed from life support and died at 7:25 p.m., WESH 2 News reported.Beary also said that in addition to his severe leg injuries, Callin suffered serious brain damage from the collision.Police arrested a man on Wednesday who they said ran down Callin on Tuesday.The suspect left the Orlando Police Department just before 5 a.m. to be transported to the Orange County Jail. He was found just after midnight and officials said he's responsible for running over Callin at I-4 and Kirkman Road near Universal Studios.
Officials said on Wednesday that Callin's leg was amputated below his knee.

Before Callin's death, Allan Barahona, 19, of Orlando, was facing charges of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest. He was found at an address in the 5500 block of Cortez Drive in Pine Hills.

"He is from Honduras, but he has been living in the States for quite awhile. His driving record, from what I understand, is pretty bad, and he has multiple suspensions. I don't know how many, but from what I understand, quite a few," Orlando Police Department Lt. Brian Gilliam said.

Barahona was booked into the Orange County Jail.

The incident closed down I-4 at Universal Orlando on Tuesday afternoon and armed officers searched every car leaving the park while they looked for the driver.

"I just got off of work, and all I want to do is go home but I can't," one driver said.

"It's a little odd to see the guns drawn and everything, but I can appreciate what they're doing," another driver said.

Law enforcement officials have been keeping a vigil at Orlando Regional Medical Center, where Callin, 26, underwent two surgeries. Adam Pierce, who was shot and paralyzed while searching for a drug suspect last October, stopped by to offer his support.

"From the times that we did work together, he was a hard-working guy. He's not one of these typical gung-ho cops that everyone sees. He's a laid-back guy. He does his job. He works hard, and he's a good guy. We're all hoping that he can come out of this better than I did and make it back to work full-time," Pierce said.

Callin was a four-year veteran of the Orange County Sheriff's Office, and he came from a law enforcement family. His father is a 27-year veteran of the department and his sister is a student at the police academy. http://www.wesh.com/news/9613306/detail.html
