<description><![CDATA[<p>Howell billed 22 hours at $480 an hour — a total of $10,560 — just to figure out how much his fees are going to be.</p>

<p>i'm sorry, i'm all for the rights of victims of police brutality and for the pd paying their legal fees, but that's ridiculous.  figure your hourly rate at a lower rate than that you charge when your are using your legal expertise,  as opposed to a fucking calculator.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Fnarf</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I love Aurora. It serves a plethora of needs. I can't wait to see all the good that a strip of planting can do, especially after it receives its last weeding the day it's installed, and starts to gather trash. We're already seeing the failure of the brand-new strip in Shoreline, and it isn't even finished yet.<br /><br />
But maybe they can get rid of those stupid car-repair shops, lumberyards and tool-rental places and bring in something useful and classy, like Pottery Barn.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by PC</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>@1 your anticipation is welcome, thanks. I note you dont' present anything I say or why it's wrong, tacitly conceding its merit.</p>

<p>The circle the wagons mentality continues, in milder form, but it is certainly true there's no real news today about Obama (which is my main topic, and how he should win) or Clinton (responding to bitchy comments about her is another topci I like) and your comment is certainly better than reading that HRC made a rousing speech endorsing Obama to thunderous applause, then seeing some Obama supporters here call her a cunt and a dick and a bitch over and over.</p>

<p>As to the civil rights case you betcha the city should pay every dime.....spending 22 hours and about 10K on a legal brief (multiple issues, putting together evidence from 6 other people, etc.) seems reasonable to make a claim for a few hundred thou.  You don't expect to win a claim for a few hundred thousand of collars with just 6 hours of attorney time do you? If you had a business with bills for $200,000 you think your attorney should just put in 5-10 hours and hope for the best?  Thinking the City won't fight like hell?</p>

<p>[Ohmygod he defended an attorney ohmygod ohmygod circle the wagons attack attack....]</p>

<p>Meanwhile the real news today is ignored once again, Obama just gave a huge policy speech if anyone cares.  Policy, economic stimulus stuff, big yawn, sounds a bit like....HRC.  Yucky poo.  </p>

<p>Unity y'all.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Unfortunately, unPC, you will never go away.  I know that.  Given that, I think everyone should be familiar with who you are and <a href="http://www.reason.com/blog/printer/126883.html" rel="nofollow">what you stand for</a>.  You work speaks for itself and there is no need for me to tell anyone whether or not it has, uh, "merit".</p>

<p>I'm pleased you're no longer denying who you are, Susan. Thanks for that.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>pc, have you utterly failed to miss my point?  it's the $240 per hour charge for figuring the fees that i commented on.  no, i did not think he should only spend six hours on the case!  who said that?  figuring the fees is a job for someone else in the office other than the attorney, someone whose hours are billed at a lower rate than the attorney's.  this looks like gauging to me, and i would be surprised if a judge didn't agree upon review.</p>]]></description>

<title>Comment by Bauhaus</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Marx may not have made the most successful toys, but it sure made the best ones - and it had the best commercials, too. By Marx!</p>

<p>I don't think anyone should have to live in sub-standard housing, and I guess some of those motels on Aurora were pretty bad (that's why the rent was so cheap), but all of sudden the city is cracking down on them after years of being in that state. Why? Are real estate developers behind this - hoping the motel owners will abandon their properties making room for more condos on cheaply attained land?<br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>I imagine that it would be difficult to kill 7 people and wound 10 others with a GUN. You know, the crowd would rush and tackle you to the ground, take your weapon, and beat the crap out of you before the police arrived.</p>

<p>So, I really can't imagine how someone could do this with a knife.<br />

<description><![CDATA[<p>...and I still don't get why people think unPC is SusanUnPC.</p>

<p>* SusanUnPC appears to know how to type<br />
* unPC has entered the bargaining phase, while SusanUnPc still seems to be in denial</p>

<p>brandon needs to weigh in on how he knows they are they same person. If I had to guess, elenchos, I'd say you're putting your foot in your mouth big time.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@15,</p>

<p>Considering how crowded Tokyo streets can get, I can see it.  He was probably able to stab several people before anyone (other than his victims) noticed.  If he had used a gun, the gunshot would have alerted the crowd immediately.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@17</p>

<p>Susan spends more time running spell check on her noquarter.net posts than she does here, but the quality of the writing isn't better.  The quality of the reasoning is identically insane.  The fact that she pretends to want to support Obama here and doesn't pretend as much over there doesn't prove anything, given her history of dishonesty and cheap scams.</p>

<p>Anyway, PC decided to interpret my link to SusanUnPC's blog entries as "tacitly conceding its merit" -- of the things <i>she said</i>.  She just admitted she is SusanUnPC.  Sometimes known as unPC and Susan Hu.  Probably ouch  @19 is her too; she has a pattern of posting one long post followed by two or three follow-ups under other names, including ouch, Odrama and hillary2012, among others.  </p>

<p>She'd cover her tracks better if she waited a while instead of posting them all within a few minutes, but perhaps there are cars lined up at the drive thru window and her break is over.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>@20 - That makes sense, except the guy did start it all off by driving a rental truck into a crowd of people. That's not a very subtle way of sneaking up on someone.</p>

<p>Also, it's one thing to stab someone, and it's quite another to stab someone to death. That's  a serious amount of hard work (or stunning precision if everyone got it in the jugular).</p>]]></description>
