WHO’S THE ASSHOLE?
A black man filmed the moment a white homeowner pulled out a gun as he approached him outside his home. The man, Demetrius Taylor, of St. Paul, Minnesota, claims he was sitting in his car with a friend, who is black, as they discussed him selling his car to the man, when they noticed the white homeowner taking photos.
Taylor walked over to confront the man, filming as he approached, and that is when the white homeowner can be seen holding a gun in his hand. The white homeowner seems unfazed however, justifying his actions by saying; ‘We have a lot of drug dealing going on… no one is stereotyping.’
This as a woman starts yelling at the men from across the street, and asking if the homeowner would like her to call 911 on Taylor. ‘You saw two black guys having a conversation in the car and you started taking pictures,’ Taylor goes on to say in the video. ‘When you see me walking down this street, because I’m black, you got nervous and you pulled out your gun.’
Neither of the men decided to file a report at the time, but Taylor apparently changed his mind after that according to police and will be making a report. ‘In my personal opinion, had I been Caucasian, had I been Mexican or Asian, he wouldn’t be taking pictures,’ said Taylor.
The homeowner never pointed the gun at Taylor and was on his property at the time, so may not have broken any law.

MAN SUES NEIGHBOR OVER BARKING DOG AND WINS $500,000
Cawper barks. This dog who lives in North Seattle woofs and yaps, sometimes for a good amount of time. He’s a dog. Barking happens. But does he engage in “raucously, wildly bellowing, howling, and explosive barking,” as his neighbor claims in his 36-page court complaint?
Is he capable of barking at 128 decibels through double-pane windows, as is printed in this same 36-page complaint? Moreover, is Cawper “intentionally inflicting emotional distress” on said neighbor, who is suffering “profound emotional distress” over the barking or so he claims in his 36-page masterpiece? Have we mentioned that this neighbor’s complaint is 36 crazy pages long, over a barking dog?
In any event, this neighbor did in fact file this behemoth of a complaint over Cawper’s yapping, according to KOMO News, and he sued Cawper’s owner, Denise Norton. And he won half a million dollars!
How? Well, a trick of a judicial system is that when someone sues you and you get served papers, you have to show up to court. Otherwise, well … “You can bring a frivolous lawsuit and win if the other side doesn’t show up,” civil attorney Mike Fandel told KOMO News. And that’s what Cawper’s owner did — she didn’t show up. And her neighbor was given a default judgment because his claims went unchallenged, according to KOMO.
“In my head, everything was so bogus that he’d been doing, I don’t know why, I just didn’t think it was real or something,” Norton said. It was a costly oversight, and it became very real once the Sheriff showed up dropped the hammer. “The Sheriff comes, puts the papers on the garage and the wall and everything and saying they were going to put the house up for sale,” Norton said.
And so began the long process of trying to unravel the judgment before she loses her house. Norton has hired lawyers and made many trips to court, but thus far she’s gotten nowhere, though a court date is pending.
