5 Feet of Fury

Howard Rotberg asks: “should I appeal?”

One reader says yes:

Although a Small Claims judge has a lot of discretion as to admission of evidence, the admission of affidavits, from people who could appear to testify, and the acceptance of the truth of the matters set out therein, when you could not cross-examine and your testimony is contradictory, seems to be an exercise in indiscretion.

 And finding YOU equally liable/responsible for repeating back the insult thrown at you is quite literally unbelievable….I guess you should not have said ‘You can’t call me a fucking Jew’, you should have said ‘You are a fucking jihadi terrorist’. At least, then, to the extent that it is not an insult, it is actually true.
