Brickbat: You Pay for Our Mistake

First, the city of Atlanta demolished a house owned by Everett Tripodis without properly informing him. Now, city officials are suing him to recoup the $68,000 they claim to have spent tearing down the house. The city wants to force the sale of the lot to pay for the demolition. A local TV station found that the city building inspector's office sent letters warning the house had been condemned to Lawton Avenue, which is in the 30314 zip code. The house is actually on Lawton Street, in the 30310 zip code.

The home owner should file a receipt showing he mailed the check to Atlanta, Georgia but with the international postal code that shows Georgia the country instead of Georgia the state.

Don't be silly. The "Oops, we done goofed!" clause applies exclusively to state actors. Rules are for little people, and they're actually expected to follow them.

[Fist of Etiquette]

If the courts were worth anything the result of that suit would be the city buying the demolished house from the homeowner.

Wonder which Atlanta pol wanted that lot.

[Don't look at me!]

If they sent the letters to the wrong address, how did they knock down the right house?

[MatthewSlyfield]

Did they knock down the right house?

[defaultdotxbe]

They sent the letters to the right house, but knocked down the wrong house.

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

Look all I know is the work order said knock down a house, so we knocked down a house. Policies were followed.

[mad.casual]

Look, buddy, just be glad the work order doesn't have instructions on where to bury the survivors, ahright?

“There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.”

“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.

This is exactly why killdozers get built.

[Wizard4169]

Sorry, but fuck the Killdozer guy. IIRC, he endangered a lot of people who hadn't done anything to him. If you're going for revenge, at least be sure to aim carefully.

Small-town Kansas paper was probing ‘Gestapo’ police chief over sex claims before he raided it

The police chief whose “Gestapo”-style raid on a small town newspaper has become the focus of national outrage was being investigated by its reporters over claims of alleged sexual misconduct.

Gideon Cody and every officer in the Marion Police Department stormed into the Marion County Record’s offices Friday with a search warrant where they seized computers and servers.

They also raided the home of the editor and publisher, Eric Meyer, and his 98-year-old mother Joan Meyer, the paper’s co-owner.

She died the following day of “shock and grief,” Meyer said, stressed and unable to sleep when police seized her computer and smart speaker, as well as her son’s cellphone and even his router.

He had answered the door thinking it was her Meals on Wheels delivery.

During the raid, Cody seized [reporter Deb] Gruver’s cellphone from her hand, injuring a finger she had previously dislocated.

How stupid are these people, they took what would have been a local story at best, probably forgotten in a couple of weeks into an international story that will be discussed and investigated for years.

[TJJ2000]

The "city of Atlanta"... Oh; that's why. Kind of like asking why Detroit went down the sh*tter where CA will be shortly.
