Oh, at first I thought someone was discriminating against people born between late May and late July.
Oops, make that late April to late May. (Summer temps are getting to me already.)
His attorney’s name is Fuhrer. He was “sidelined” for three months from his financial services job and was in a long leg cast for 6 weeks. Heck I was in a long leg walking cast for 6 weeks TWICE while in the army and I wasn’t “sidelined”. Sure there were things I couldn’t do with the cast on, but there were plenty of things that I could do including qualifying with a rifle.
I can’t get over that either. Hell, I blogged about one of the earlier cases against Johnny Utah’s (so did Walter Olson), but all I can think is that somewhere in New York there’s a man who’s gone his entire life with the name “Fuhrer”.
He should sue his parents.
“Mein Fuhrer! I can sue!”
