Economists Exult over Job Gains. Be Wary
Jobs? Yowzsa! See an insight to Judge Salcido's lawsuit against her boss, Peter Deddeh, at www.SanDiegojudges.com Once again, U-T reporters missed it. (Okay, I know I shouldn't be surprised.)— May 9, 2010 8:34 p.m.

Redfried: The tip off should have been the "Retired" attorney was volumes too interested. That smells "$" to me. True, retired attorneys aren't too interested in nightly DUIs. Any reporter would have smelled that from a mile away. That said, I don't know Kinder, but am guessing he wishes I hadn't dropped by the Reader last night. Good-day.— May 7, 2010 6:51 a.m.

Refriedgringo: Why not do a little research before speaking and looking bad? If you had, before writing your negative comments - comments that were both incorrect, and completely out-of-line, you would have realized I've not Once commented on anything this writer has Ever written before. Nada. Bumpkiss. Zip. However, my hunch she didn't Recognize the story proved correct. See below. Which I don't expect you to appreciate. All I ask is before commenting, before opening your mouth, you do your own work. Doing so would give you some much needed credibility. Because in this case, although not paid, I uncovered the story. Perhaps the writer now having been given some direction, might double-back and ask Mr. Kinder a little more about his background. **** SAN DIEGO -- A fax machine, pager and a telephone are what brought 24 lawyers to a local courtroom. It's not one case; it's 165 and counting. But there is just one plaintiff -- James Kinder, owner of Rainbow Rent-A-Car on India Street. Kinder is a former lawyer once convicted of fraud. He is in a legal battle now on another matter. Including one with Jack DeAngelis. "They're asking for money, asking for money and kind of shaking me down," said De Angelis. It all happened after De Angelis sent Kinder a fax soliciting guests for a radio show. Kinder called him. "He said,'Today is the worst day of your life. I'm in the fax mafia and I'm in the fax suing business,'" said De Angelis. Kinder sent De Angelis a demand for $10,000 for the one fax, claiming it violated several federal and state business and telemarketing laws. "I said,'Go wherever you need to go, my friend. You're not getting a dime out of me,'" said De Angelis. Kinder went to court and sued De Angelis for $25,000, plus penalties and fees, adding to the pile of Kinder cases. "Keep in mind, this is not my only 165 cases, I have lots and lots of other cases," said Judge Ronald Styn. So, has Kinder over the years. He has been involved in more than 600 cases. The Superior Court lists him as a vexatious litigant, someone who abuses the court system with frivolous claims. Kinder was a personal injury attorney until 1989. He gave up his license right before the State Bar Court was set to disbar him from crimes involving moral turpitude.— May 7, 2010 12:43 a.m.

refriedgringo: The point being just because someone introduces themselves as a "retired" anything is no reason to believe them. The first rule of journalism is: "If your mother says she loves you, check it out." No one is trying to "discredit" the writer. (Notice I did not say "reporter." In my opinion the "writer" completely missed the story. Why is Kinder doing on the scene? Is he funneling cases to DUI attorneys and collecting a fee? Does anyone believe Kinder strolls the streets nightly as some kind of do gooder? One must have a nose for news to report it. Seems to me she happened on the scene and didn't Recognize the story. Which wasn't the DUI. That's not discrediting her, it's just common sense.— May 7, 2010 12:26 a.m.
