Michael Barisone/Lauren Kanarek Civil Suit

SIDEBAR: if anyone can teach me how to 1) multiquote specific passages, and 2) bold inside of quotes on an iPhone, please PM. I finally had it down until the latest update. Le sigh…

You did bold inside that quote up there just fine.

Bold on this platform is double asterisk before and after what you want bolded, no spaces.

What I mean with spaces ** bolded part if the spaced were not there **

I do not know how to do these things in an Iphone, but doing them in general, there are several ways.

If nothing else, you can do it manually. (Wait for it, this will lead to a certain poster start to claim things are edited.)

If someone with iphone knowledge does not help you, I will explain that further.

Thanks. Guess I just read it funny, because it seems to be able to go both ways : LK (plaintiff) sure seems to have some liability in this, and after the beat-down MB (defendant) got, he probably has some disability.

Funny, because I never see any of the bolding people claim is theirs in quotes, (when they say “bolding mine”), including the one you say worked. I read on an iPhone and an iPad, and it never shows up on either, which sometimes makes people’s post very confusing.

Maybe it’s an Apple thing? Are you using Safari? (I am!)

I would expect that her attorney will object to her being held responsible for the beating, since it was RG that delivered that. Still, she absolutely has liability for all the harassment, defamation, intentional infliction of mental torture, and deliberate acts to try to destroy his business and reputation and career (particularly via the SS report).

Been there!! Not horse caused… but related. A friend and I were driving in her brand new car to another barn to pick up some tack. We came to a crossroad - you always yield to the right on those rural gravel roads and there was nothing there so she continued through the intersection. A huge speeding gravel truck roared up from the left, hidden by a windbreak of dense trees - and hit us. The force spun the car around and ripped the front of it into a mangled mess. The hood was laying back on the windshield area - glass was gone. We struggled to climb out through the passenger window as the driver’s door was crunched. I tried to talk to my friend but my mouth would not work - it felt weird. As I sat down on the edge of the road, I reached up and held my jaw with my right hand - and pushed it sideways to get it back in place enough to talk. It made a loud CLUNK and SNAP. Did not feel a thing at the time - but I kept my hand there to hold things together. The entire front of my shirt was red. I felt rather… peaceful and calm. My friend announced she was going to the nearest farmhouse (we could see the roof - no cell phones then) to get help and limped away. I remember sitting there in the sun, watching the driver of the gravel truck climb up out of his cab… as the truck was laying on its side in the ditch. I noticed a large smoking thing in the ditch on my far side - and rather disjointedly realized it was the car’s engine. I rolled my tongue around and carefully spat out some teeth. A car actually came by and I calmly told them what had happened. In due course the RCMP arrived and I was sitting in the back of a Mountie’s car trying to fill out the accident report as a witness - and quietly explained to the Mountie that my hands were not working well and I could not fit the words in the boxes provided. The entire experience was rather surreal… and shock was setting in.

My jaw was broken. I lost quite a few teeth and was sore all over for about a week - but that was it. It is amazing how we can cope in a dire situation.

LK was probably feeling the same way…

And she would be responsible for the dog bites. I would argue she is indirectly responsible for the damage RG did as well.

Until he sits on a horse and attempts his level of riding, there is no telling what has been permanently damaged.

I am MUCH better in crisis than in normal times. I have discussed here that I suffer from anxiety. I am an anxious, neurotic person… until crisis hits. Then I am a steely, calm person who navigates the crisis with aplomb only to go back to being a crazy person after. This behavior has been observed with big things (dad sick and dying) and smaller (Potomac Fever). People expect me to fall off the rails in crisis since I am anxious by nature, but I pull it together. :woman_shrugging:

Also claimed in the murder case of my classmate. He called the coroner and not 911. This was used against him in the trial.

Similarly, when the topic of unexpected reactions comes up I remember a case profiled as a joint project – maybe This American Life and the New York Times? don’t quote me on that – about a serial rapist. The first victim, in the PNW, reported the crime and ended up being prosecuted for filing a false police report because she did not react in a “correct” (expected) manner.

It was only after the rapist had moved to Colorado and struck in several adjacent towns where police officers (solely by coincidence) happened to share details of the case and realize what was going on that he was apprehended. When those local cases were solved his activities were traced back to the PNW and the original victim exonerated.

It is after 5pm on this side of the country. I guess that means no other filings from the judge today. Boo Hiss.

Do you mean the “restrictions” LK has asked for for her deposition? Have I missed a ruling on that?

Darn it! I got so ready for more when I saw that one. Hopefully the rest come soon.

There hasn’t been an actual motion before the court yet re: that. It was noted in SGF’s last brief that this was in discussion, but no one has raised the issue for a ruling yet.

You have not missed anything.

I am not sure that was brought up as something that will be directly answered but you have not missed anything.
