Patrick Sean Tomlinson / @stealthygeek / "Torque Wheeler" / @RealAutomanic / Kempesh / Padawan v2.5 - "Conservative" sci-fi author with TDS, armed "drunk with anger management issues" and terminated parental rights, actual tough guy, obese, paid Quasi, paid thousands to be repeatedly unbanned from Twitter

@AnOminous would you say that a legal thread would be now necessary given that motion to dismiss has failed?
I still think it might be premature. A denial of a qualified immunity motion is immediately appealable, as it's the definitive example of a collateral order under the doctrine outlined in Mitchell v. Forsyth. The grant of a stay on further trial proceedings pending the appellate decision is almost guaranteed, so we might not see any actual action in the trial court for a while.

Personally, I think the decision is in error and on top of that it looks like a pile of dog shit and I'm wondering what went through the head of the judge who signed off on it, but whatever.

Let's wait until there isn't an appeal.

It's not really up to me, though, I just don't want to do it myself.
She wasn't even born yet. Classy guy.
Hey he's a class act. He said he'd wait for her to be born before murdering her along with her mother. What a major dude!
Interestingly, the court mentioned that it will allow the defense to argue qualified immunity at a latter juncture.
This is pretty de rigeur as an immunity argument can be raised any time it rears its ugly head. For instance, it could be raised again at the summary judgment stage or even conceivably during trial or after trial in the form of renewing it in a motion for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict even if a jury finds against the defendant.

Since most courts seem to apply qualified immunity unless there is another case with the exact same facts showing that the police's actions were clearly unreasonable, I get the feeling the case will end once it reaches that point. I'm not sure that Richardson is the kind of case that clearly establishes a right so as to overcome qualified immunity.

Considering the track record of litigation being tracked by this very website, I can only conclude that such decisions are in fact par for the course, and examples to the contrary are simply exceptional.
 
He talks super proabortion but he acts so prolife! That’s our Ricky.
Whatever way the wind blows to get more Twitter likes. That's our Ricky.

Going back and reading this thread from the beginning a few days before this drops is just amazing, a real eye-opener. He hasn't changed a bit.
Time is indeed a flat circle and the chickens are coming home to roost.

The cops and city are going to bleed him dry, just to get him to shut the fuck up. Will it work? Let's watch!
 
Okay. Stadtmueller. He's 82 years old. He's a Reagan appointee who ascended to the status of the Chief Judge for the Eastern District of Wisconsin in 1995 (and retired and took emeritus status in 2002).

I find this opinion bizarre and somewhat disorganized but he doesn't seem to be some kind of unhinged giddy leftist. That said, I've seen better cases than this thrown out on QI grounds by even leftist judges. So I don't know what to say.

While I thought QI should have been (emphasis on "should have") a kill shot, I did consider that Fatty's lawyers had at least made sufficient factual claims that given the lenient pleading standards for dismissing for failure to state a claim, he might have said enough bullshit (that we know to be a pack of lies) at least to survive that.

And also, that if this goes forward, this is the funniest possible option. Because as we know, there are extrinsic reasons the police might respond to calls involving Fatty in particular involving his dire state of mental health and his history of actually making dramatic threats of violence, rape, and murder against women and children, including his own as-yet unborn child and estranged wife.

That's a very important context for why calls involving Fatty can't just be dismissed even if he has been the victim of swattings.

I certainly hope they get to the bottom of who did or paid for those swattings. Because that could get REALLY fun.

I still do not feel this ruling is in conformity with current QI jurisprudence and wonder if the defendants will file an immediate appeal, to which they are automatically entitled under the collateral order doctrine.
 
You'd think we'd be able to see everything going in a court case with such a public figure like Patrick S. Tomlinson, or is the court saying that Patrick's career was so abysmal that he can't be considered one? That all the times Patrick has been viral/tried to go viral was for nothing. That his books aren't bought by anyone and that he's not famous enough to have a cult going after him?
 
It's less funny if we won't be allowed to see the filings going forward. Considering that the motion to seal got granted. Or is that not as bad as it sounds?

JPS just 100% officially cucked us, the Public Who Pays His God Damn Salary(tm), out of all the juicy bits hidden in that document #28.

Evan Goyke, greenhorn City Attorney: stand your ground, child. Do not offer this pig-man a settlement. Patrick S Tomlinson has demanded his day in court, mostly just so he can get up and perform his theatrics before a jury. Who are you to deny us, I mean deny him, that?
