Get over it, man. An alarm system with some wireless vid cameras is maybe $600 installed. Monitoring maybe $20 a month. (I pay $12). And not 'rest of their lives.' As I said, for 2-ish years until this blows over.



It's presumably already blown over. But regardless, suing over 600 bucks is pretty retarded. And honestly a sign saying "no, this isn't the house, go here to see spike lee saying it isn't the house" is probably gonna be a lot more effective than a video camera and alarm system. What's that gonna do?

Badjar speaks true. He tweeted that address knowing the bounty was issued, despite it being the wrong address. Even an average DA could twist that into charges.



This is your original stupid statement. You don't have to be a skilled DA to file charges. You just type some crap up on a paper. ET could do it.


Telling someone where someone lives isn't a crime BTW. Nor is getting it wrong.

Ah. So you've regressed all the way back to elementary school in defense of your stupid today? Fine. I have time.

What does a security system like I described, with video cameras, usually do? It's OK. Take your time. Use small words.

Even if he gave out the info hoping someone would go commit a crime there it wouldn't be a crime.

No, but my first instinct wouldn't be to try to sue someone. I would probably call them up and ask them if they wanna come stay with me for a couple days if it'd make them feel safer, but that there's probably not much to worry about.


Americans have a bad reputation around the world because of threads like this. The first thing to do when you have a problem is not to try to figure out who you can sue. Especially when that person has already made a public apology and as far as we know no real harm was done.


People in Japan often ask me why Americans try to sue everyone over everything. I usually try to explain that most Americans arn't actually like that, and it's just the bad apples who stand out. This thread is making me reconsider.

I wish the hate mongers would think before they act. Then again, they would not be hate mongers if they did much thinking.
