1) Happened in Canada it is worth pointing out.

2) Guy had crazy wide feet. The real point is that he needs shoes wide enough for him. Forgetting what he is in jail for and everything else, we probably should find a way to accomodate people in this situation, right? Shoes that fit is not exactly a luxury for a civilized society to provide to its guests who are on an involuntary vacation with them. I’ve never understood the whole idea of making prisoners lives miserable as being some sort of noble thing.

3) I think this law should keep these kind of claims out of the court system by setting up an administrative scheme that provides for hearing for complaints of this kind.

After ruling that killers are entitled to $125 sneakers every 1.5 yrs., I’d love to see this judge explain himself to a poor law abiding citizen who is not able to afford cheap sneakers.

2) Since the Secret Service has already found the charges of people crying “kill him” to be baseless, that makes it far more difficult for Ms. Green to prove her allegations.

3) One wonders what her standing is to file this lawsuit anyway, since the “threats” were not against her. She also has no close relationship with Obama and there’s no evidence that she even met him. The phrase “publicity stunt” immediately comes to mind.
