http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/20/2036.asp http://www.kalb.com/index.php/news/article/car-impounded-by-mistake/1046/ <...> Ruby Wallace was stopped by Alexandria police two weeks ago and when the officer ran her license plate it was listed as canceled. Wallace said, .I asked him what was that ticket for he said I had cancelled license plates I told him that had to be a mistake.. APD said they followed procedure by removing her plate and impounding her car. Wallace got a letter from the DMV saying that the plates were listed as canceled due to a computer error. She used that letter to get the plates back. In the meantime her 95 accord was racking up a bill at with the towing company at $17 a day it was up to $430. She said, .It.s frustrating because they made a mistake but they want me to pay for it. The lady at the DMV told me to borrow the money.. <...But thanks to the power of TV...> Eric Mendoza, owner of American Towing, told us that he would take a loss and let Wallace pick up her car for free, since he had the evidence that her license plate was current and legal. Wallace is thankful for his kindness and she also gives us a little credit. .News Channel 5 is definitely on my side..

Well I have my doubts about who McViegh really was. There was certainly something very shady going on around him. I'll leave that for people to do their own research. It's some interesting stuff if history and how governments manipulate people and cover things up etc is one of your things. Anyway, yeah... they wonder what makes people 'snap'. It's because of this infinite tolerance model. That we are all supposed to be infinitely tolerant one assholish thing done to us after another. To always 'turn the other cheek'. Now I suppose if were all as perfect as Jesus Christ that would be an achievable model around which to build a society. The thing is, Aproximately 99.99999999% of the humans aren't so perfect and don't have an infinite tolerance. So eventually people just snap, especially those that hold the anger in.... 'serenity now'. >Well I have my doubts about who McViegh really was. There was certainly >something very shady going on around him. Was he "just a patsy" like Lee Harvey Oswald? >Anyway, yeah... they wonder what makes people 'snap'. It's because of this >infinite tolerance model. That we are all supposed to be infinitely [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >have an infinite tolerance. So eventually people just snap, especially >those that hold the anger in.... "Gunnysacking" is what that's called, and it's damned unhealthy. Causes all kinds of issues from high blood pressure to insomnia. Better to engage in a little Primal Scream therapy right then and there, and call that Soccermom who cut you off a "f.cking c.nt!" at the top of your lungs. Get all the anger out immediately, let it go, and forget about it. That's what I do. >>Well I have my doubts about who McViegh really was. There was certainly >>something very shady going on around him. > > Was he "just a patsy" like Lee Harvey Oswald? I refered you to some of the articles in the past. There are some parallels and I wouldn't say patsy, more like sheep-dipped. He was involved, that hasn't been questioned, what has been is who he was really working for and with. The government's painting of him seems to have been done to suit its political needs. >> Sooner or later the gubment will end up doing this to someone with a >> short fuse like Timothy McViegh, and all the gubment employees will be [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >have an infinite tolerance. So eventually people just snap, especially >those that hold the anger in.... 'serenity now'. Bingo! Which is why I laugh every time I hear about a "road rage" incident. Yeah, someone got out of line, but that person got out of line because the "victim" pushed him over it. The people who die or are otherwise injured by "road ragers" need to look internally, not externally, for fault to blame for their predicament.

Who at APD said that, and which code did they cite? Section: III Safety Responsibility Laws Effective: 10/28/1986 Number: 18.00 SURRENDER OF LICENSE AND REGISTRATION R.S. 32:1022 Any individual whose license or registration has been suspended or whose policy or insurance (SR-22) or bond has been cancelled or terminated or who has failed to furnish other proof of insurance as required is to immediately return his/her license, and registration, including any vehicle plates registered in his/her name to the Department. Failure to do so will result in the issuance of an order to a Safety Enforcement Officer to secure these items and return same to the Department. > Wallace got a letter from the DMV saying that the plates were > listed as canceled due to a computer error. When? How? By mail? Did she arrange to get the letter by phone? Did she speak to anyone at the DMV of any authority? Did she contact the SOS? The AG? Did the "reporter" do any of those things? Did the "reporter" ask a single question of -anyone- but the victim? > She used that letter to get > the plates back. In the meantime her 95 accord was racking up a bill at > with the towing company at $17 a day it was up to $430. That's 25 days, did this woman not get a court date within that time?! If so, what was the disposition? If not, when is her court date? Does that $430 include the tow? > She said, .It.s frustrating because they made a mistake but they want me > to pay for it. Who is "they"? I would be surprised to learn clerks at the DMV are authorized to dispense funds to rectify errors of this nature. > The lady at the DMV told me to borrow the money. Why?! I guess if you told her you didn't have the money, that would be pretty good advice. > <...But thanks to the power of TV...> Spurious conclusion; there's no evidence indicating "TV" was of any influence. The relationship, as you know of it, is purely casual and/ or coincidental. > Eric Mendoza, owner of American Towing, told us that he would take a loss > and let Wallace pick up her car for free, since he had the evidence that > her license plate was current and legal. And he can either collect from the city or write it off, so he's out nothing. Plus, he gets a little free promo being a "nice guy", if anyone actually watches such a station that would cover any story so incredibly poorly. > Wallace is thankful for his kindness and she also gives us a little credit. > > .News Channel 5 is definitely on my side.. I think the title "News" is a c-o-n-s-i-d-e-r-a-b-l-e stretch of the term. I know were talking about Buttfuck Lousyanna but I'd expect any 6th grader with the same assignment to do far better. The report raises more questions than it answers. ----- - gpsman gpsman: > > he said I had > > cancelled license plates I told him that had to be a mistake.. > > ... and I showed him my current registration ... and pointed out my > current sticker on my plate? And the amn with the badge and the gun says, "Your license plate has been cancelled.

Glock 9mm? (or whetever they carry). Signature"I always heard that primitave hoo-mans lacked intelligence, but I never thought they'd be this stupid." --Quark |
