send a message to TB boy!
 

The Speaker Law Firm | Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyer

what a farking, self centered, greedy pig....from what I can discern, this d00d is a natural born lawyer (i.e. a lying POS who should be shot in the back of the head)...

anybody care to join the 'club' and leave a message at that site?

the facts are obvious..the a§§hole deliberately flew to Canada then drove into the U.S., sound like the actions of an innocent man?...sure, just like OJ...

:gun2::gunsmili::rocket::butcher 2:

...er, living in the mountainy bits of a smallish island I have not been Murdochly abused with this story...

What's it all about, Peerless ?

I'm sure you would do the same if you had been told you were not contagious
but were going to be forced to pay over $100,000 for a flight home that may or
may not happen in the next few months. :shoot:

he's a lawyer, and you believe him eh Aaron????

:cheesy:

I don't believe a word out of his mouth, as I am quite aware of this strain of TB, and nobody can make me believe this d00d DIDN'T know what was up...noway was he told it was OK to travel, quite the contrary...

easy to logic out...he intentionally flew to Canada then crossed back into the US...you think if he wasn't told not to do so he would have just come straight to the US...but he didn't...he's guilty as sin and unlike other lawyers (who belong on the bottom of the ocean as sharks food), he deserves the barbed broomstick at the very least...more like the broomstick and the Vietnamese torture treatment (which is to be tied to an X of wood, have a bucket tied to his scrotum, and a rock added each day..after about 2 weeks gangrene is fully set in and his whole intestinal track falls out)

this strain of TB is ultra dangerous, and this pr!ck may very well die from it...it costs over $20,000 for the drug regimen to even begin to try and cure this stuff...he's just a modern day Typhoid Mary....

something's up!
 

i thought i saw on the news where the guys brother-in-law is a doctor who specializes in contagious diseases. smells fishy to me.

Apparently you didn't read the news reports thoroughly. A common error
when one has prejudged the subject. The newspapers in Canada probably
gave a more thorough effort to the story as well.

1. He was told repeatedly that he was not contagious in the days leading up to
   his departure, and this was backed up by negative test results. He was not
   told it was okay to travel, but after he asked whether he was forbidden
   to travel he was told he was not. Since he was going to his own wedding,
   it is quite reasonable to go ahead in the face of such weak opposition.
   Don't forget that nobody knew it was the drug-resistant form at the time.
   
   
2. He could not fly directly back to the U.S. because his return ticket was
   cancelled and he could not get a new reservation to fly directly back. They
   belatedly put him on the No-Fly list (as though he was a terrorist) after
   he was already on a jet to Montreal. It's not like he was defying Homeland
   Security after all.
   
   
3. The americans suggested he turn himself in to quarantine in Rome, but he was
   not sure they had sufficient expertise to deal with the matter anyway. Far
   safer to get home quickly before the disease could develop at all, and where
   his new father-in-law, a TB expert, could be of some help.
   
   
4. He was told that the only option the americans could give him was to send a
   CDC plane (a plane not suitable for carrying quarantined people anyway) and
   that it was unlikely that they would be able to send the plane quickly in any
   case because they were completely unprepared for such an "emergency". As it
   turned out they couldn't even do that for him, so he and his new bride were
   effectively stranded by their own government with no solution in sight.

In any case the panic was certainly over the top, as the Montreal Gazette reports:
Everything you need to know for a dinner-party conversation about ... Infected travellers.
In fact, as the Canadian newspapers reported, most of the publically
expressed hatred and anger occurred when Mr Speaker was revealed to be a
personal injury lawyer, not when he was just a groom on a honeymoon. How
fair is that, eh? :p

The reaction has probably been a little overblown, but blame the media on that. Isn't it ironic though that he's a personal injury lawyer and if given the chance, would sue the pants off someone else for doing what he did.....Things that make you go hmmmm ;).

I read the news..and watch the news..and they are all owned by corporations with an agenda, so I really don't pay attention to the 'punch line'...

again, Speaker can spin his story all he likes, in the end he is still a person who for all intensive purposes is paid to lie...if he is soooo safe to be around, then why is his wife wearing that ridiculous looking mask when she is near him?

sounds like you believe the individual is more important than the society in cases like this...I guess you have no problems having sex with an AIDS carrier?

uninformed
 

your right Aaron, just caught bits and pieces of it on the news. i should have been better informed before commenting. by the way, whats the difference between running over a skunk or a lawyer? you would go back to see if the skunk was alright! :o

If you think society is more important than the individual in an absolute sense
in this case, perhaps you should take a close look at what the DHS
and other "responsible leaders" of society are suggesting we learn from this
incident. Note that instead of solving the actual problem, failure to serve and
protect the citizen as a civilized and responsible nation, they instead herd you
towards yet another way to protect the nation from the citizen, and the
citizen be damned.

By this "reasoning", any man or woman can be taken or lose the freedom to
travel by the word of virtually any official, even in the absence of evidence.
Now they don't even have to be suspected of any crime or test positive
for actual contagion. There goes another piece of your constitution out
the window and you didn't even notice. Not only that, they are trying to
extend this attack on basic human rights into other nations like Canada as
though they did not exist as sovereign nations at all.

The f r e e press has noticed, so who have you been listening to? :p

There was a time, not long ago, when americans would have detected and
responded appropriately to such an obvious attack on their national character
and reputation without hesitation.

Tell me, which of those faceless and evil corporations does this young lawyer
work for, hmm? That's right, none. Nor for the government. Have you
forgotten who he actually fights for? Who you think he "lies" for? This young
fellow has just become bait to get you to clamouring to give up another of
your precious american liberties for another mere token of security which
actually has more symbolic than real value. And all for the unreasoning hatred
of one of the few types of lawyer able or willing to fight for the rights and
well-being of the ordinary man.

The Bush League are probably laughing themselves silly over this sick little joke
and the young groom still has no idea whether he will survive to see the punchline. http://www3.telus.net/Aaron_Walkhouse/really.gif

By the way, you do realize that the mask was not necessary when he was not
contagious, don't you? She had absolutely no problem with not wearing a mask
during the wedding, honeymoon and the ride home. If he had not hurried back
before a mask became necessary he'd be stuck thousands of miles away from
family and the facilities of the CDC today.

The government is probably quite relieved, though they'll probably never admit it,
that they no longer have such a publically abandoned citizen waiting to die on
foreign soil in full view of a foreign press they cannot control or intimidate. Far
better to have a convenient scapegoat, another form of hot-button "enemy"
like terrorists or child molesters, to keep you entertained while they continue
to go about the job of replacing democracy with empire. Well, if you keep
letting them get away with it while acting like they direct, not only will you
get what you deserve but few outside the U.S. will sympathize with your fate
as your former democracy becomes another cage like China or Russia.

Are your travel papers in order, citizen? http://www3.telus.net/Aaron_Walkhouse/tumbleweed.gif
No? Better stay safely put in Texas then…http://www3.telus.net/Aaron_Walkhouse/tongue3.gif
