You all need 'splaining about the brand? Was I wrong to assume it was to involve the backside implants, and and squeezing for juice, if you get my drift?

Why not? Kardashian's "celebrity" is her ass, is it not? Truly an accomplishment of which to be proud.  I don't think it's implants in the case of Bree. It's my understanding that women host parties, like Tupperware parties, where they have industrial silicone injected into their buttocks. We've come full circle from the days when we'd worry that our asses were too big, to not being able to get them big enough, because having large buttocks is really a measure of one's worth. Humanity reaches for the stars!

Bradley Samavati was being pretentious and JJ brought him down to earth. He tried to be impressive by saying he works for a national juice corporation, then JJ forced him to admit he was just a minimum wage veggie squeezer. Then he tried to avoid revealing his living situation  until JJ forced him to admit he lives with mommy. I kinda felt sorry for him. 

JJ should have ruled that girlfriend keep the mattress if she pays for it, otherwise return it to her ex.

Yeah, he was hoping JJ, and everyone else, would infer that maybe he was the regional director or something,  and lived in some palatial "residence" instead of an assembly-line  squeezer who bunked with Momma. But at least he works and Byrd doesn't have to support him - a rare thing on this show.

Also, I super-enjoyed the Moron Olympics with the girl who was suing her former friend that started dating her ex.

I just watched this and it left me so stunned that I couldn't concentrate on the dim John Davis who was owed 3500$ by his cousin who trashed some appartment, yet thought he should get 5K, because... well, just because he deserves it! Duh! and had to rewind.

TifAnay, who has been arrested for assault previously, must have been heading out after the show for her engagement in Vegas with her low-cut, ornate black chiffon gown, is suing Zadore's baby mamma for smashing her car window. I was just dazed, thinking that these are the faces of the future. They have no prospects, no jobs, no education, no money and yet they breed non-stop and find their situation amusing. Zadore (get that name right, JJ! You'll be hearing from him!) and his baby momma (2 kids at 21) leech off HIS mommy who drags herself to work every day to feed all the hungry mouths of the voracious parasites squatting in her home - Zadore, his sister who also, of course, has a kid and who does nothing, his baby momma who does nothing and their soon-to-be 2 kids, while said parasites lounge around all day, eating poor Mom out of house and home, playing video games, screwing and making more babies. I thought I was used to stuff like this, but this case? Just... wow.  I bet Byrd was thrilled, seeing all his latest dependants. 

Then we had Mr. Powe, who is a fine, upstanding example of manhood - well, when he's not getting drunk and kicking plaintiff's car, getting more tats or having altercations with HIS baby momma. I'm sure there's more than one baby mom. After all, Mr. Powe is quite the catch, quite the gentleman of distinction. 

Oh, my head.

I wonder where they see themselves in ten years or so. Oh, wait - they don't look past their next meal. Problem solved.  I swear I put way more thought and planning into adopting an animal than 95% of litigants here put into having a child, or two or eight.

The repeat of the trailer park beatdown - I had forgotten all about that and it was just as disgusting this time around. A bunch of mature but super-janky women with classic Trailer Trash hair and names - two of them mothers with their teenaged daughters there - beating the daylights out of each other in the street because this is the proper way to resolve differences (or "indifferences").  I grew up in a moderately poor neighbourhood that was not exactly high-end, with working class, hockey-loving fathers who had a few too many beers on payday and mothers who stayed home and never, ever did any of the parents fight each other outside. It would have been unthinkable.

Damn I hate it when the defendants are accused of animal cruelty. I don't care if it's a dog, cat, squirrel, rabbit or any other inncoent creature. So coming up in a few minutes is a case I won't be watching about some worthless waste of oxygen being accused of putting spike strips in his yard to keep the neighbors cats away. 

[AngelaHunter]

What did I just watch? Sarahi, who doesn't look as though she should be in this state of desperation, hooks up with Samuel, who appeared to be some lower sub-species of hairless ape, an ape with diamond earrings and eyes so close together he was verging on Cyclop-ism (not a word, I know!). Samuel's main ladylove, the brutal and janky Rocio who draws on her eyebrows with an extra-thick Sharpie (and what the hell was that under her lower lip?) and is no novice to fighting, proclaims proudly that she beat plaintiff because planitff "doesn't know how to fight." She tried to squeeze out some crocodile tears over her lost baby (imagine those two with a helpless infant?) but probably decided tears might loosen her huge fake eyelashes, so knocked that off in a second. JJ tried to talk sense to her, but what a wasted effort that was. Another one who needs to be on the Mandatory Sterilization list.

I thought that was unbelievably disgusting until I heard "Summer" -  a trashy jailbird POS, who would rather let her 3 small children live with her convicted sexual predator uncle than get off her large butt, get a job and support them. A woman who would deliberately subject innocent children to a pervert should be in jail a lot longer than she was. She was willing to give up three kids, and what she brings here is a huge picture of her 800$ Ford and waves it around. And why the hell was the sexual predator in jail for only 1 1/2 years? What is wrong with the judicial system? 

None of that was entertaining, but it was good to see more serious cases instead of "he broke my cell phone" or idiots fighting over mops and napkin holders.

I always wondered why Bert never smiled.  With episodes like today's, now I know why.  

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man.
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times, 
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him,
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him oh be proud of him,
'Cause after all he's just a man  
Stand by your man,
Give him two arms to cling to,
And something warm to come to 
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man,
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man,
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Rocio had a super large mole under her lip.  Hope it's not a melanoma. At first though, I thought it was a soul patch.  I did not get to see all this case. Left work when it started. Arrived home and it was still on.

Or do like the old lady in "The Cider House Rules"  and keep showcasing it in a variety of surprising ways. At first I thought it was some "tribal" plug thing. That's some whopper of a mole. Maybe instead of getting knocked by the apeman, Samuel, and buying fake lashes, etc. go get that alien cut off your face. I never will understand the priorities of litigants, e.g. getting a thousand dollars worth of tats when you have no teeth. Oh, well. Each to his own!

How hilarious was sexual predator's niece's logic? Plaintiff was angry and wanted to adopt the children because "SHE CAN'T MAKE GURLZZ!"

I hope plaintiff and her husband ultimately adopt the kids and move far away. Based on the defendant's hallterview, the whole family doesn't like the plaintiff and her husband, which leads me to believe they are the only psychologically sound members of the family.

To be fair, it's just the defendant that says "nobody likes her".  She could be imagining it, or others could be believing defendant over plaintiff, and who knows what she is saying?  Mr. Funky's mom became convinced that her sister was going to "steal" Mr. Funky's brother because she was trying to replace her dead son.  It got ugly, and they stopped speaking to each other.  Permanently.  And Mr. Funky's mom would tell people that everyone hated her sister, but that wasn't the case, and the only ones who suffered were the kids.  The kids seem happy with their aunt, and that's what matters.  They need stability.  Defendant in the hallterview crying, hoping the kids come back.  To what?  A pervert in the house?  Pathetic.

And he said he did dilute it. Plaintiff had no substantiating evidence to offer, except his personal conviction that his neighbour did things incorrectly. And the oh-so convincing fact that the guy did not tell them in advance he was going to spray. Granted, it would have been the civil thing to do, but I could not help thinking "did you tell him in advance when you removed his spikes, his personal property, on the advice of a police officer, a dubious foundation at best"? The cat incident was a diversion, but if it had been explored I think I would have come on the side of the defendants. The real culprits are the plaintiffs who let their pets roam free in the yards, and the real victims the animals themselves because they can then be exposed to defensive measures that may be harmful while quite justified, because of the negligence of the plaintiffs who came across as very unpleasant people (and thus nasty neighbours).

I got the same impression from a few of them, like the plaintiffs in the case I just commented on. From the get-go the guy seemed exasperated by having to testify for JJ ; dude, did anyone put a gun to your head when you agreed to appear on the show along with the two annoying women who tagged along?

In the falling flower pot case, the defendant had a very wise-ass reply: "I don't go around taking pictures of people's balconies". When your liability is in question in a case like this, it is incumbent on you to gather evidence supporting your defense, even of it means lowering your lofty person by taking pictures of possible alternative explanations.

The plaintiff was well organised, but she made the mistake of being an assertive woman; JJ would have none of it because there is only room of one of those on this show.

I think the whole case was about the cats! But because the defs had every right to defend their own pets from wildlife, plaintiffs didn't have a case for the vet bills or whatever they might have sued for.  So they pulled this mess together.  Could/did she have a bad reaction to the spray? Sure.  But that doesn't make it the neighbors' fault, and she certainly didn't prove the defs did anything wrong.  People on our street spray their roses, but we never get an advance warning. "But the HazMat guys came!" does not mean there was a hazard.  Another case of, "It's true because I say so."  

Would have liked to hear more about the counter-suit - looked like the def. had a video or something. But whatever they claimed in their response, JJ was having none of it.

Flower pot gal?  Sheesh.

There was also a case today (rerun? new?) where the defendant had been too drunk to remember anything that had happened at a party, so he was "excused" from even opening his mouth. He sounded pretty stoned in the hallterview, so probably just as well.

Moley also had enough money to purchase herself a giant chest tat. Didn't it occur to her that she could have used the money to go to a plastic surgeon to have her beard/mole removed?

HAHAHA! Of course she didn't. 

[augmentedfourth]

There was pretty much no way the plaintiffs were going to be able to prove that the defendants used the spray incorrectly. Even if he had worked in pest control in the past, short of having video of him preparing to spray his tree, they couldn't prove that 1) he didn't dilute it*, and/or 2) he flagrantly disregarded the instructions on the packaging (which they didn't even have with them). And of course a hazmat team showed up in full gear, considering that when they called 911, at that point, they didn't know what they were dealing with. Them showing up having taken every precaution to prevent themselves from an unknown substance proves absolutely nothing.

 

(*There was so much talking over one another going on, I didn't hear if the defendant said this or not.)

 

So yeah, this was most likely about the cats. Which, I still side with the defendants on. Having someone's pet in my yard once or twice is an accident. Having them be a constant presence is another. We've got a ton of dogs in our neighborhood, and in the six years we've been here, only two have been a problem. So far, "neighborly chats" have seemed to keep things under control. (Incidentally, another neighbor -- not the problem owner of a problem dog -- has said he would prefer everybody in the neighborhood not use pesticides because he thinks it's bad for his dog. He has gone ignored.)

[howiveaddict]

Why is it ok for people to let their cats roam free, but dogs must be either fenced in or on leash?  I have a theory about the defendant and new wife.  The plaintiffs were good friends with wife number one.  They even said they helped care for the plaintiff's mother.  Something happened to wife one. She either died or they got divorced. I'd say she died since the defendant kept the house.  Maybe they always liked the wife more than the defendant.  So along come wife two.  From day one, the plaintiffs have not liked her because of their loyalty to wife one.  Maybe defendant was lonely and got remarried soon after his wife passed.  It almost seems like a new step mother issue.  

Plaintiff seemed to have a resting bitch face to me.  Also, I can probably tell the difference between bug spray and gas fumes.  Loved the female defendant said the plaintiff was outside smoking after she got back from the hospital. That was some lung damage there.  Also, if defendant had sprayed incorrectly, wouldn't there be a chance that the defendants would also be affected?  

It's ludicrous to think that defendant sprayed the trees incorrectly on purpose because of what happened 18 months before.

[Cobalt Stargazer]

18 minutes ago, howiveaddict said:

My guess would be because you hardly ever hear about rabid cats, or cats randomly attacking people and causing serious injuries. Even a neighbor's cat shitting in your yard isn't that much of an inconvenience.

I kept dozing off during the insecticide case, but JJ repeatedly asked the plaintiffs if they had proof, as in paperwork, that the guy spraying for aphids used the poison incorrectly. Yes, he said he worked in pest control, presumably for a company like Orkin, but outside of being able to read the guy's mind there'd be no way to prove that he dosed the trees in his own yard the wrong way just to spite his neighbors.

[Blissfool]

I don't believe the spikes were placed for the possums. And I don't believe those were the pesticides he used on the tree. Being a former pest control worker, he must have access to stronger stuff, be it from a leftover stash or from buddies who are still in the business.

Plus cats can be vicious and scratch or bite, as some cases on these court shows have proven, and they can be quite annoying when they decide to display their vocal talents, on and on again.

She probably believes it is decorative. I must confess that when I first saw it I thought it was one of those rhinestone-like decorations some people get grafted on their faces. Her eye make-up seemed tattoed-on, which led me to conclude she is not adverse to such "enhancements" (not to mention the chest tat).

I have no doubt that the pesticide sprayers were messing with the plaintiffs. But I also have no doubt that the plaintiffs could never ever prove it.

And FFS, they could easily have Googled the warning label on someone's phone. 10 seconds tops. Still would NOT have made a difference, though, as you'd have no proof that the guy DIDN'T follow the instructions.

I know this may pale compared to some of the other litigants, but no one is talking about that absolute idiot of a father who dragged his kids to JJ only to blatantly lie in front of them?  After leaving them unattended in a car?  That clearly hit another car?  Seriously, buddy?

I was glad JJ had Bird take the kids out at the end, but she should have had them removed immediately.  They both looked petrified the entire time so clearly they would have lied through their teeth to protect their father and JJ knew it.

[basiltherat]

I didn't get that one and I'm glad I didn't!

I got the one with the ex-girlfriend suing ex-bf and his mommy.  BF put a car in mom's name because he can't owe anything due to OWING BACK CHILD SUPPORT on his many children.  Byrd Blue Book-Ful'd the value and it turns out this model car is worth $5,000 instead of $1,500 which is what GF paid.   GF got her $1,500 back and has her original truck.  Gravel voiced Gertie (mom) couldn't shut up even after JJ told her to take the car back and then SELL IT FOR THE DIFFERENCE OF $3,500!  I would have shut my damn mouth and said a heartfelt thank you.

We have almost put spikes in to deter a cat.  There's an outdoor cat in my neighborhood that comes to my house, jumps up on a box on the back of our house, torments our indoor cat, and tears holes in our screens (we've replaced them twice, and they have holes again now).  He also pees on our stoop, I guess to show he's boss.  We have put a little cat zapper on the windowsill but it didn't really help.  I've gotten a water gun but he runs away before I can get to the little jerk.  I figured spikes on the box he jumps on would deter him but not hurt him, but I guess not so I need another plan.  Seriously, people, keep your cats in the house.  I like cats, but I don't find your destructive cat cute.  My own cat is destructive enough.

I really disliked the plaintiffs.  Maybe the cat thing colored my opinion.  I find it difficult to believe that malathion, sprayed outdoors, would actually have significant respiratory effects on two unrelated people (I think some sensitivity to it might be genetic, but the obnoxious young woman was the son's girlfriend, right?).
