Shooting outside of Robert Blake case.. (merged thread)

I saw him on CNN and he stated that he was shot four times in the left arm, once in the neck, where the bullet still resides, and once in the right arm.

I went to public school but even in PS math that's six.
 
For all of you lawyer-bashers out there:

I saw a bit on an NBC news show. The off-duty officer who tackled the assailant was a RESERVE DEPUTY. His day job was...

...ATTORNEY.

So knock it off, would ya? Lawyers are people. A few are bad, but most are just doing a job. And as we've seen, a few are heroes.
 
Keith,

Clearly you have an irrational hate for all lawyers that leaves you blind to fact or logic.

Perhaps you should recuse yourself from this thread if you cannot take the High Road.

Personal slurs and insults are a violation of forum policy. Perhaps you should recuse yourself from this thread if you can't take the High Road.

It's quite evident from the text that the lawyer was indeed lying about how many times he was shot. The hospital spokesman said he was shot three times. The lawyer claims he was shot seven times (from a revolver...).

Keith
 
It could be he was shot seven times.

Perhaps the hospital overlooked four bullet holes...

Or, to be charitable, perhaps the attorney was loaded on pain meds and simply made a mistake.

Or perhaps, he is already playing the sympathy tune and looking forward to getting the rest of that old mans settlement in a civil suit.

You're free to reach your own conclusion.

Keith
 
Yep, hospitals never make any mistakes... like:

taking out the wrong lung

cutting off the wrong foot

leaving instruments in people after surgery

misdiagnosing patients


Also, if I was shot several times by a crazed man in front of the world, I might go for some sympathy.

:rolleyes:

Seems like you are the one JUMPING to conclusions..... I cannot believe all of your lawyer bashing.... I thought in one of your previous posts you said you were finished with that.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I gave three possible alternatives for the lawyers statement, only one of which revolved around the man lying. Yet, you pick that one and begin bashing me for "lawyer bashing"?

Keith
 
Keith...

Keith, I am not "bashing" you. I am only pointing out that almost EVERY post you have made on this thread has been nothing but lawyer bashing. Let me refresh your memory.....



"Shooting a lawyer? I'd be torn between clapping and getting pictures!"

Keith

"Hey, it's perfectly consistent with the "high road" to be indifferent to the suffering of pedophiles, rapists, attorneys and other assorted thugs."

Keith

"The mans sister told reporters that the shooter had been fleeced by the lawyer, and that the attorney had told him he was going to go after him again for complaining to the bar.

You can complain if you like, but I can't help being amused when somebody gets even with a lawyer, even if they resort to illegal means. The profession of law revolves around twisting the truth to suit their client or to fill their own pockets, or both. Occassionally, they'll be on the right side, but that is usually by accident. None of them choose to only take cases where they feel the client is in the right. And of course there is no legal recourse when you are victimized by lawyers. You can complain to the bar run by other lawyers, or go to court, run by even more lawyers. None of them are going to side with anyone who wants to stop the wholesale theft and corruption of their profession.

So, sometimes somebody gets made enough to shoot one, and it makes me chuckle... Sorry if that offends you!"

Keith

"No, he would have required a physician to get painkillers. So, the trustee was in effect saying that he couldn't get the medicine that a physician had prescribed.

They lawyers were just bleeding him, as lawyers do..."

Keith

"He was a lawyer, by the time he gets to court he'll be complaining he was shot 14 times!"

Keith

"It could be he was shot seven times.

Perhaps the hospital overlooked four bullet holes...

Or, to be charitable, perhaps the attorney was loaded on pain meds and simply made a mistake.

Or perhaps, he is already playing the sympathy tune and looking forward to getting the rest of that old mans settlement in a civil suit.

You're free to reach your own conclusion."

Keith


Looks like lawyer bashing to me.......

LA Times:
On Sunday, Richard Heaton told the story of how the man he grew up with, Gerald E. Curry, was shot in the neck and both arms...
Curry has several bullet wounds in his arms, Heaton said. Also, he said one bullet is still lodged in Curry's neck and doctors have not yet decided whether to remove it....

Curry [that's the shot lawyer] was representing a court-appointed trustee for a "special needs" trust that had been established for Strier, because Strier was the recipient of a $100,000 personal-injury settlement, Heaton said. The trust allowed Strier to continue to receive Medi-Cal payments, while also being allocated money for other medical and personal costs from the settlement, Heaton said.

The court-appointed trustee to the trust was Evelyn Murphy. "She became the trustee, and then Strier wanted to get at the money for purposes Evelyn Murphy would not agree to," Heaton said.

Heaton said when Murphy refused to give in to Strier's demands, he allegedly became abusive. "If she had given in to his desires and let him spend the money however he wanted to, she would have been liable for it," Heaton said.

So here's a few things to consider:

Curry, the attorney, was shot at least four times. At least once in the neck, and "several" (that generally means more than two) times in the arms.

Curry JUST STARTED representing Murphy, who controlled the funds. Curry COULD NOT have ripped off Strier. COULD NOT.

Keith, just admit that you are wrong, that the shooter was a nutball, and that the lawyer was just representing a woman that STRIER HAD ALREADY THREATENED.
 
I rarely post here also but I read these boards every day and came here when the Firing Line closed.
SaintofKillers said it best.......I rarely post on this forum and the comments that are made here are the reasons why. SO WHAT IF HE WAS A LAWYER THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT HE SHOULD BE SHOT. I dont particularly care for lawyers either in most instances but some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. You do know that some of these scumbag lawyers actually go to court to defend RKBA didnt you? I think that this whole situation is just another example how people (mostly the ones that say "I woulda done this") are the same ones who stand there in total shock and do nothing. These so called journalists and cameramen who are called heros should be the ones taken behind the woodshed for not doing anything, all this lawyer did as far as you all know is his damn job. No one knows what kind of person he was, but we all know what kind of people the bystanders were now dont we. The High Road my F:cuss: :cuss: :cuss: ng A:cuss: :cuss: s.

"SoK, I think that lawyer must have done something unethical. You can tell by the fact that a guy was shooting at him."

I seriously hope you were joking with that comment.:fire: Are you the kind of person who believes women deserve to be raped or "ask for it" by the way some dress??

I rarely post here also but I read these boards every day and came here when the Firing Line closed. If this is how some of you take the High Road, I certainly hope to hell, I am never in a postion, to need your help, or be judged by you when it matters.

To those who did indeed take the high road, in your posts, cheers. As someone new to handguns and a new CCW holder, I use this board for the education, and wisdom that so many of you are happy to give. Some here have made it clear that such wisdom they feel that they need to post, is certainly not in my best interest.:barf:

Ahem, they had just walked out of court where Curry had been awarded $6000 of Striers money. Now, it's hard to imagine how Curry could have EARNED 6k of that money that quickly, but he sure had it.

Keith
 
Yeah, but what about the really import stuff ..... like a good close-up in the hottie in the orange shorts! Now THAT would be worth looking at ... :what: :D :p
 
LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/l...,1,4409342.story?coll=la-headlines-california

Curry entered the picture, Heaton said, when Murphy asked to be taken off the case. Murphy hired Curry to provide a report of her accounting from the trust and to petition the court to accept her resignation.

From the AP: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20031102/ap_on_re_us/courthouse_shooting_15

Murphy, who was represented by Curry, asked to resign as Strier's trustee and requested that a judge grant more money from the fund — about $6,240 — for her and Curry's services.
Click to expand...

That's $4,228 for Curry, the rest for Murphy.

Assuming a rate of $150/hr, that's 28 hours of work. Seems possible to me. Anyway, Murphy, as conservator, validated the $4K as correct.

Nice guy! He's charging an old man on a fixed income, $150 an hour to "manage" his money for him. I don't know how much money is left, but at that rate he ought to be able to "manage" the entire amount into his pocket in short order.

Keith
 
The supposed hero is on Court TV(4:30cst). What a crock.
A real hero would have jumped on the shooter before his gun was empty and put away and 30 or 40 feet away from the victim.

From the AP story:

David Katz, the reserve deputy who tackled the suspect, told "Today" on Saturday that he didn't see the shooting but heard five or six shots, and chased after Strier when camera crews pointed at a man, saying "He's the shooter."

I am completely guessing on the rate. Maybe is was 21 hours at $200. But sorry, lawyers cost a lot, as do doctors, rocket scientists, investment advisors and others with scarce skills.

It's called the free market. You're not against that, are you?

And actually, if you'd read a little more and spew a little less, you'd see he charged the professional conservator of a $100,000 trust for his time. That conservator wouldn't have needed a lawyer if the old man hadn't threatened her life, prompting her to settle the account and get the heck out.

Read carefully, and I'll try to type this nice and slow.

LAWYER WORKED FOR CONSERVATOR.
CONSERVATOR APPOINTED BY COURT TO MANAGE MONEY.
CONSERVATOR RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROPRIATE DISBURSEMENT OF TRUST.
OLD MAN NO LIKE CONSERVATOR MANAGEMENT.
OLD MAN THREATEN CONSERVATOR.
CONSERVATOR HIRED LAWYER TO AUDIT TRUST, GET HER OUT.
LAWYER DOES SO.
OLD MAN SHOOT LAWYER.

[edit: whoops, the term is "conservator"]
