The shitbags that we elect to supposedly represent us are once again bowing down before their corporate masters and sucking their dicks. However, we should celebrate this for the good news it undoubtedly is. Actions like this will ensure that our software wizards are truly motivated to design and implement a new system for file sharing that is proof against government interference.

Verizon Sued After Tech Punches Customer In Face 493

suraj.sun writes "A Verizon customer filed a lawsuit after the tech the company sent out got a little punchy. Instead of fixing the customer's problem, the tech allegedly hit him in the face. The New York Post says the tech attacked the customer after he asked to see some ID before allowing access to the apartment. From the article, '"You want to know my name? Here's my name," Benjamin snarled, slapping his ID card into Isakson's face, according to Isakson's account of the December 2008 confrontation. "The guy essentially snapped. He cold-cocked me, hit me two or three solid shots to the head while my hands were down," said Isakson, a limo driver. He said the pounding bloodied his face and broke his glasses. But things got uglier, Isakson said, when Benjamin squeezed him around the neck and pressed him up against the wall. "He's prepared to kill me," Isakson said. "That's all I could think of." The customer broke free and ran away. The Verizon tech then chased the customer until he was subdued by a neighbor who was an off-duty cop.'"

This will work about as well as exaggerated drugs "education" has. Tell the kids "One puff of weed and you'll end up as a junkie, living in a cardboard box" - and the kids see the flaws in your argument, go - "Yeah, right," and smoke up anyway.

Submission + - Demonoid back online
