Gassy Mastiff 1, Soledad O'Brien 0

anyone who chooses to own a dog that big in a city this crowded is an asshole. i dont even want to share the fucking sidewalk with your oozing goddamned monster. that ugly fucker probably smelled like a swamp. fuck all of you large dog owners. you're all presumptuous jerks. i dont think your dog is cute. now get your motherfucking leash out of everyone's way and move to the suburbs.

Some people should get a life, don't shower for a week & let us see how you smell ...

Some people should get a heart and stop attacking innocent beings for their smell. I am sure Soledad stinks as bad as her appearance on CNN. Have you been on a crowded train, the BO is horrible, does it mean that we should ban most of the people from the subway system?

Gas, eh? Sounds like the dog has a poor diet, which can be easily fixed.

Obviously some genetically purebred monstrosity that gets walked a few times a day by a hired walker and never really gets a chance to enjoy life. Was it a rescue pup? Feel bad for the pup, not his fault. Owners had a choice about putting him in this position. But understand them not wanting to give up their home or their pup. But people count too. If he really is such a stinky mess, the owners need to find a better compromise.

Maybe inconvenient & expensive for them, but a good vet nutritionist & more personal grooming could make him a good friend to his neighbors, and not just the object of snarking by lawyers & bloggers.

Soledad appearance on CNN STINKS, can I sue her? Fugly bitch better not appear in front of me ever! What kind of bitch picks on a dog?

And here's your proof about why she resigned from the board.

Perhaps fugly talentless Soledad and michael Vick should both hook up and disappear.

This is proof? Don't quite your day job because you stink as a prosecutor.

I meant, fart, not fat. sorry.

My neighbor's Boston Terrier is the gassiest mammal alive-which is why I don't go to thier home anymore. This dog is so stinky-which they think is hilarious-that he literaly chases people away. Imagine a fat coming out of a dog the size of Ugo. Isn't there a doggy Beano around?

The fact that O'Brien feared for her own safety shows how fanatical some animal lovers are.

"The fact that O'Brien feared for her own safety shows how fanatical some animal lovers are."

It certainly does not prove anything like that at all, any more than a fear of werewolves proves that they are an actual threat. Her fear of a a threat does not prove the existence of a threat.

Werewolves don't exist. Fanatical animal lovers do.

Screw that worthless bitch. Ha ha ha ha you lost.

It's not like most apt-buildings are NOT dog-friendly. Quit your effing whining and move the hell out if you don't like living with dogs.

God, I hate rich people.

what's the proper way to serve the summons?

would certified mail and regular mail suffice?

or is that only for poor people like me who can't afford legal representation?

They have to physically touch the paperwork, you can't just mail it in. Oftentimes, a process server will just drop the summons and complaint at a person's feet if they act evasively. Also, if someone at the domicile accepts papers for the defendant, they're good to go. Signing a document of acceptance just gets the server paid without the hassle of going through lawyers.

In any event, Soledad O'Brien is right to fear for her safety. There's a lot of crazed animal lovers out there and they'd love to go after a self-obsessed witchy bitch like her.

Going by my vast legal experience from watching Law & Order and the West Wing, I believe a official has to physically give the recipient the summons, after which they must sign a legal document stating that they have indeed received it.

I am not a lawyer or a process server, but I don't think they have to sign for it. They can, but it's not mandatory. Otherwise you'd never be able to serve most people because they would just refuse to sign. Process servers have to be licensed, which means they basically have to legally swear that they delivered the summons to somebody resembling the description and answering to the name. That is enough for the law. If a process server lies and didn't deliver to the person he's supposed to, then he loses his license and/or gets sued. I'm guessing the board opted for "nail and mail," just attaching the papers to the door of the apartment. That's not acceptable unless the party to be served can't be found or is avoiding being served. It may be a short-lived victory for the dog owner. If the board wants, they can always start over. There's no double jeopardy in civil matters.

How come most co-op boards are so petty & batshit crazy? They seem to have issues with even the most slightest of nuisances.

I'm glad the Mastiff one. Continue to fart at will.

Because nobodies let any little bit of power go directly to their brains.

Co-op boards are just the city's version of homeowner's associations.

Only the richest co-ops act like this. Other boards don't have the resources to waste on petty battles.
