I....don't like this woman

Posted by ty97 Feb 11 '09, 06:19

"She is demanding at least $15 million in punitive damages, claiming Alomar caused her emotional distress and exposed her children to the virus."

Responses:

It might be that he actually *did* expose her kids to the virus. - TWuG Feb 11, 06:23 26

  - That's why *I* said "virus." :-P -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 06:45 1

  - that too. :) -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:41
- "Let's be blood brothers!" -- nm - Amy Feb 11, 06:37
- That's absurd. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 11, 06:26 19
  - that's quite a conclusion to leap to. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:28
  - i don't actually know that it is - it could be, but we don't know that. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 06:27 17
    - I was figuring it would be in the article, if she was claiming anything specific. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:28 16
      - yup. the way it's worded it comes off that it's simply being presumed the kids were exposed simply by being in his presence. - znufrii Feb 11, 06:31 9
        
        given the fact the article, yes. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:33 8
        
        i just wouldn't use THAT article as the basis for any reality. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 06:34 1
        
        of course, it's the Daily News. - znufrii Feb 11, 06:38
        
        the brief is probably as thick as a book. we have no idea. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:34 5
        
        True, though I would expect that the newspaper read it and picked out the juiciest bits to print. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:35 4
        
        isn't that what they did? -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:35 3
        
        I don't know. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:36 2
        
        I think we can't tell. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:37 1
        
        I think giving the Daily News the benefit of the doubt is far more than they deserve. :) -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:39
      - the story is written to make the GF look bad. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:30 5
        
        the story is written to sound as scandalous as possible. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:32
        
        no it's not. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:31 3
        
        maybe it's even handed. they certainly suggest she's grabbing at the money. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:32 2
        
        hmm, I don't see that. I just see the Daily News' normal sensationalistic writing. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 06:33 1
        
        that's how I interpret the description of her house and car. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:34
- I'm not willing to make that conclusion yet. - ty97 Feb 11, 06:26
if i thought someone knowingly exposed me and my children to AIDS i'd sue for a LOT too. - Andie Feb 11, 06:23 12
- exposed the children how? - ty97 Feb 11, 06:24 10
  - if he had open lesions, if they weren't treating his blood properly if he was bleeding, there are ways. - Andie Feb 11, 06:26 7

      - actually I make it a point to spray blood over my apartment before cleaning up a wound. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:44
      - i'm not sure if you are agreeing with me, but i agree with you.... - Andie Feb 11, 06:43 2

        fair enough. -- nm - Andie Feb 11, 06:49
    - Exactly...if her story is right, he was living with the virus (undiagnosed) for a long time. -- nm - Jim Feb 11, 06:28
    - exactly. If an AIDS patient shows up in the ER, the staff takes precautions. it's just what you do. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:28
  - we have no idea what the details are. any exposure to blood. like a cut or nosebleed. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:25
  - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 06:24
- it's entirely possible there could be criminal charges out of this if it's true. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 06:24
what's wrong with that, if it's true? -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 06:22 1
- It's the wording. It is offensive that his mere presence would be considered "exposure." -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 06:25
