Sue, boys. Sue like you mean it.
Sue ’til you can’t sue no more.
I never thought I’d ever advocate taking legal action against someone, what with this being the Year of the Edwards and Frivolous Lawsuits. And I’m no fan of jocks. (No, they never bullied me physically, (I was an athlete myself) but I always seem to have the wonderful luck of only associating with the dumb variety) But this is the kind of situation for which these laws were made in the first place.
“I have every confidence that the decision to dismiss all the charges was the correct decision based on that evidence,” Nifong said.
In what appeared to be a plea to the athletes not to take any further action, such as a lawsuit, he said: “It is my sincere desire that the actions of Attorney General Cooper will serve to remedy any remaining injury that has resulted from these cases.”
Would I sue? Ya sure ya betcha.
Would it be out of spite or a sense of revenge? Well, now…I can’t pretend I wouldn’t get any kind of satisfaction from seeing Nifong laid out to dry. But these types of lawyers need to know that this kind of bullshit will not be tolerated. Hanging Nifong high as he deserves certainly won’t stop all the problems, but it might make some lawyers with too much ambition and not enough common sense to think twice about doing something this abysmally stupid.
Not to mention that, in this case, “sorry” is not enough. Even if this asshat tried to settle out of court, which is what I’m sure he’ll try to do if they do decide to sue, I’d have a smile on my face as I told him to kindly frak off. No amount of money can take back what he’s done, which would be the only acceptable settlement as far as I’m concerned. Defamation isn’t something that’s fixed with an apology that I suspect is only referencing the fact that the asshat was caught.
If the gods of justice are merciful, Nifong, you’ll be working for minimum wage at Wawa to make a living.
