News SOPA Boycott Of Businesses Goes Viral Targets Congress And Business Alike

Story First Found On http://www.mrcrow.com (Viral News Site)

In what may well be a first, both the Occupy Wall Street and Tea Party seem to back the latest boycott of business who support a new set of laws called SOPA. The two groups see this as the prime example of the clear conflict of interest congressional leaders have when they take money from business they are suppose to regulate.

Del Hagen an online political pundent says ” This is a very bad situation and not a good turn of events. The message seems to be very simple. Congress has completely lost the trust of the American people making economic recover very difficult at best. Until such time as a new law or even a constitutional amendment is established which regulates the behavior of congress members we see the United States continuing on its down word spiral. You can’t on one hand have congress men and women taking huge sums of money from the same business they are suppose to regulate and expect them to be unbiased. SOPA is just another example of a complete lack of understanding of the American People”

“The reason Americans are now starting to target businesses instead of congress is they feel hopeless when it comes to congress.”

“With Congressional approval at a historic low manly as a result of ramped legalized insider trading and lobbying money “Nod Nod – Wink Wink” from business they are supposed to regulate. We have come the conclusion that the corruption is so entrenched and so ramped that the current US government structure is beyond repair though traditional means. “Thus the 9% favor ability rating for congress” Basically everyone but congress knows the current US system of paying to get laws passed is not working – sorry guys. ” Said An Organizer

Liability News AP IMPACT: When your criminal past isn’t yours

We Asked Are Background Checking Companies Subject to Lawsuits?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A clerical error landed Kathleen Casey on the streets.

Out of work two years, her unemployment benefits exhausted, in danger of losing her apartment, Casey applied for a job in the pharmacy of a Boston drugstore. She was offered $11 an hour. All she had to do was pass a background check.

It turned up a 14-count criminal indictment. Kathleen Casey had been charged with larceny in a scam against an elderly man and woman that involved forged checks and fake credit cards.

There was one technicality: The company that ran the background check, First Advantage, had the wrong woman. The rap sheet belonged to Kathleen A. Casey, who lived in another town nearby and was 18 years younger. Does Kathleen have a lawsuit ? We suggest reading a personal injury attorney web site

Kathleen Ann Casey, would-be pharmacy technician, was clean.

“It knocked my legs out from under me,” she says.

The business of background checks is booming. Employers spend at least $2 billion a year to look into the pasts of their prospective employees. They want to make sure they’re not hiring a thief, or worse.

But it is a system weakened by the conversion to digital files and compromised by the welter of private companies that profit by amassing public records and selling them to employers. These flaws have devastating consequences.

It is a system in which the most sensitive information from people’s pasts is bought and sold as a commodity.

A system in which computers scrape the public files of court systems around the country to retrieve personal data. But a system in which what they retrieve isn’t checked for errors that would be obvious to human eyes.

A system that can damage reputations and, in a time of precious few job opportunities, rob honest workers of a chance at a new start. And a system that can leave the Kathleen Caseys of the world – the innocent ones – living in a car.

Those are the results of an investigation by The Associated Press that included a review of thousands of pages of court filings and interviews with dozens of court officials, data providers, lawyers, victims and regulators.

Legal News What you should know about the Penn State child sexual abuse case

Child sexual abuse ranks among the most horrific of all crimes. When allegations of child sexual assault surfaced at Penn State University, many in Pennsylvania were shocked. Jerry Sandusky, an once revered assistant football coach, was charged with abusing eight boys over a 15-year time period. Sandusky denied the charges, but said he did shower with the boys.

While Sandusky is innocent until proven guilty, in general child predators who are convicted tend to receive lengthy prison sentences. For the victims, the assault may cause deep psychological trauma in addition to physical injuries. While no amount of money can truly undo the damage of a sexual assault, victims may need compensation for real financial losses. The only recourse for many victims of sexual assault is to retain a personal injury lawyer. By pursuing compensation through the civil courts, or a child sexual abuse lawsuit, victims may be able to receive compensation to cover the costs of psychiatric care or psychological care. Sadly, many victims may require a lifetime of therapy in addition to needing to address physical injuries.

Legal NewsNew Sex Abuse Suit Claims Sandusky Threatened Boy’s Family If He Told

Attorneys representing a 29-year-old man says he was abused from 1992 to 1994 by Sandusky during a press conference, Nov. 30, 2011.

The latest person to accuse former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky of sexual abuse also claims that Sandusky threatened to hurt the boy’s family if he ever told anyone about the abuse.

Sandusky’s newest accuser, who is now 29, had not told anyone about the abuse until he read about the grand jury presentment charging Sandusky with 40 counts of child molestation over 15 years, his lawyer Jeff Anderson said today. Until that time, he had thought he was the only victim.

The man, whose identity was not released, issued a statement that said, “I don’t want other kids to be abused by Jerry Sandusky or anybody like Penn State to allow people like him to do it-rape kids! I never told anybody what he did to me over 100 times at all kinds of places until the newspapers reported that he had abused other kids.”

“I am hurting and have been for a long time because of what happened, but feel now even more tormented that I have learned of so many other kids were abused after me,” he said.
