Fell in Mall fountain, phone doesn't work...help!

[lunatic59]

That's a small town out there.

Granted Wyomissing is an upscale suburb on the west bank of the Schuylkill River, it is part of the greater Reading area and still the fifth largest city in PA. Small town in comparison to the metro DC area, for sure.

It wouldn't be such a bid issue if she didn't draw attention to it by threatening to sue. It would have blown over the same way the "In the butt" video did and she might be able to show her face around town in a couple of weeks or so. Oh, well now it's nationwide.

I live 15 minutes from the Berkshire Mall, go there frequently and I can tell you unequivocally ... nobody cares about her lawsuit.

Oooh, my husband's parents live out there, too! When we come up next time, we should all grab something to drink and then go fall in the fountain. Hey, my excuse is going to be some pretty good vodka, my husband's will be rum, his dad's will be beer. Sadly his mom will be well on her way to the car pretending not to know us. It's funny because my father in law worked in that mall for a while (he doesn't care about her lawsuit, either.)

My point was that if she was embarassed about it, she picked an odd way of putting it behind her.

She is on felony charges, 5 counts of felony theft.

She missed her court hearing for suing the mall because she had to go to the felony hearing first.

Who sues someone while you are on felony charges? What a dingaling.

...dumbassery?

Best new word in years!

On her side, someone employed by the mall security probably shouldn't be publishing mall security footage. That's a sensitive area, and I believe the employee is no longer that.

On the malls side, they have absolutely no responsibility to keep people walking around while texting from throwing themselves into the fountian. It's cases like these that make me wish they had a law where, if someone starts a frivolous lawsuit like this which is absolutely ludicris, the party being sued should have the option to counter sue them for any and all money they had to spend on lawyers to defend themselves.

Because honestly, it's a crime that they should have to pay anything at all to anybody, anywhere, ever over what transpired here. The guy who put the video on YouTube has been fired. Justice is served (in my opinion the guy should have gotten a day or two off MAX), now why on earth should the mall pony ANY money up at all to this woman?

The dumbest part of this whole story is, in that video that woman could have been my girlfriend for all I knew... the video quality was so poor nobody would have ever even known who she was until she brought the attention to herself by crying about it. Before she did that, everyone in America was laughing at 'some woman' who fell into a fountian. She's the one who put the name with the face.

Now that's what I call dumb and dumber!

The only 'crime' is putting the footage on You Tube. A very unprofessional act. But no one could tell who she was until she told everyone who she was.
She is guilty of her own defamation.

They release (or perhaps sell) security footage of people trying to rob convenience stores, banks, etc. to media outlets without anyone saying it's "unprofessional". Stupidity seems to be the common trait of the people caught on tape It's not like they posted video of an elderly person falling in a fountain because they broke a hip.
