One word: karma.

One other word: douchebag.

Wait'll this guy sues the city for not renewing his contract. That sucking sound you hear is money being drained from taxpayers' wallets.

And now hopefully no one will hire him, so he can experience the true loss of fund the Dry Cleaners owners felt when this ass-hat sued them.

Judge Pants go bye-bye now. Moves for a bad court thingy.

About bloody time. This guy makes even gutter-feeding Lawyers look like saints. Clearly, this guy is not only a few cans short of a six-pack, but he’s also missing those little plastic rings that hold all of ’em together. It’s a wonder he even had the intelligence to become a Judge in the first place.

Now I wonder who this ridiculous clown shoe of a human being will sue next? The city for firing him, or the dry cleaners because this is obviously all their fault.

to a petty vindictive weasle like this, a law degree is a weapon of plunder. like allowing iran nukes, allowing the unstable to get law degrees is a bad idea for us all.

New operant phrase for his ex-honor: "do you want fries with that?"

I find this idiots actions despicable. Not only is this a textbook case of legal system abuse, his actions perpetuate stereotypes of blacks in general. This idiotic stunt overshadows the efforts of countless black folks who work hard every day and try to get ahead the right way, the American way. We need laws that hit vultures like Pearson in the wallet. Court costs, punitive damages and criminal charges are what the doctor ordered. Strip this moron of his law degree.
Pearson, you are a despicable person and do not qualify as a man.....

This man is an embarrassment to the legal profession, particularly to other African Americans who have attained a law degree. In addition to losing his job, this man should be hauled before the DC Bar's disciplinary committee and either sanctioned or lose his license to practice law.

I see another lawsuit in the works....

To ALL THE MORONS who are saying that this IDIOT perpetuates stereotypes against Blacks - DOES RUSH Limbaugh, David Duke, Ann Coulter perpetuates the stereotypes that WHITES are DESPICABLE RACISTS??? I didn't think so - SO WHY would the actions of ONE BLACK MAN have to speak for AN ENTIRE RACE???

Why would ONE MAN"S action be reflective of an ENTIRE RACE?? Better yet - why is it that when an AFRICAN AMERICAN does something then ALL BLACKS are guilty?? DOES BRITNEY SPEARS behave like ALL WHITE MOTHERS??? Does RUSH LIMBAUGH and ANN COULTER speak for ALL WHITES? Pearson is an individual - his actions are those of an individual - NOT AN ENTIRE RACE!

Trace, shut up. No one cares what you are saying, when you type like that it just makes you look like an idiot... perpetuating that image... heh

Calm down. Some of us didn't even know the guy was black.

Uhh . . . yeah, people like Rush Limbaugh, David Duke and Anne Coulter all make white people look like bigots, the only difference between the two being that the aforementioned individuals come out and say it whereas the rest of us are just thinking it.

I've heard sentiments like that quite a few times, actually.

Trace...Chill! Jake was the only one who brought race into the discussion. The way he did was not appropriate, but I think he was honestly trying to expand the discussion. I enjoyed CTSD's reply, which was right on and deftly brought us back to the issue. I don't know if either of them is black or not, but they were civil and willing to speak. Then, you jump into the deep end! Here's some clarity: Rush and Coulter argue against liberalism with some jabs at liberals, while Duke is a true racist. I would be outraged if Rush or Coulter went beyond ideology and said racist things, but they don't. I think Jake could have said it better this way: Pearson perpetuates the legal ideals that liberals encourage, like being against tort reform (which would discourage, or prevent, frivolous lawsuits like this). Please don't think you know what people say or believe just because others have told you what to believe about them. Actually listen to them, or read what they write; and make up your own mind!

Trace, tell me, if you see a black person, how do you know they are .. ahem. (clears throat for most reverent sounding voice possible) African American? What if they are British? Or Jamaican? Or African? (would that make him African African?) Can we be more specific? How about Ivory Coastian-American? Rwandan-American? I'm part Scottish, part who-knows, can I be Scottish-lucky-barstard-American?

Also, what has Rush said that is Racist? I mean, specifically, not the usual 'he is challenging my idiotic world view, ergot, he is a racist' type of accusation.

You are the Six Million Dollar Dufus.

Trace,
You miss the point completely and utterly.
You say, and allow me an effort to properly literate your muddled argument, that, "when an African American does something then all black are guilty." Or, does "Britnay Spears represent all white mothers." Of course not, and the fact that they are myths, and are not representative of those groups is exactly why one must speak up. I have no guilt over Pearson, any more than you should have guilt over Duke.
Lazyness, on-the-dole, looking for a free ride; all falsehoods and fair game for social conscience ommentary. If the actions of an amoral, money sucking black man bolster such stereotypes, not only is it appropriate to respond, it is nessasary in my opinion. While Duke does not represent your feelings regarding the race issue, and that is the point exactly, he does not, I would be surprised if you felt no embarressment or uncomfortableness, not just as an American, but as a white. What you are really talking about at the end of the day, is not independent action or thought, but turning a blind eye, making you part of the problem. It is called social and cultural conscience Trace, been with us for a few thousand years and sometimes works well. Nothing inappropriate, even in our PC world, of policing our own neighborhood, so to speak, declaiming our outrage at nutjobs that affect our particular subgroups.
The fact remains that this is a black man trying to use the system to get something for nothing, and I feel, as a black, obligated to express my outrage, not dispel collective shame or such nonesense.

Cheaters never win, so the New England Patriots got what they deserved. Did anyone hear Belechik pre-game interview--he didn't have any remorse.
