^^ being mistreated is being mistreated i could care less about their supposed chosen "profession"

Spending a few days in a dark room by yourself will make you do crazy things also 20 mill is just the starting point.

Is this a serious post? He was never charged.

The guy wasn't "busted in a drug sting". He was at a house smoking a J on 420. Other people were busted for mushrooms and ecstacy and were sent to jail. He was brought in for questioning, told he was not being charged, was being released, and that they would drive him home.

They then left him in a cell, handcuffed, with no lights, no toilet, no food, no water, and no expectation that anyone would ever help him get out. He could hear people outside his door but no one would respond to his cries for help.

Anyone saying they would go through that same thing for a million dollars is kidding themselves. Sure if you had the retrospect that you would get out alive, that is one thing.. but this guy didn't know that.

What do you think starts going through your mind after 24 hours of solitary confinement? 48 hours? How about when the lights go off... for days... 72 hours passes without a single person checking in on you and you slowly start to realize that there is a very legitimate chance you are going to die in that cell... that would seriously fuck with anyone.

Remember that guy locked in the elevator for 2-3 days no food no water taking a leak/dump in the corner. He wasn't locked in a dark cell & handcuffed but basically lost his mind stuck in a elevator this dea case is worse and as bad as it comes. You know how you go to work in the morning and by noon you are hungry bahahaha 5 days= 15 meals plus 20L of liquids (4L per day) that would turn me into a raisin.

BTW people just because a claim asks for $20 million does not mean that it is what he is going to get... remember the McDonalds coffee incident when the lady was awarded millions of dollars... she apparently ended up with less than $600K in settlement.

is there a syndrome or phenomenomomoemoneoneone that describes that everytime there is a thread about lawsuits that someone brings up the mcdonalds hot coffee?

Someone google up hot coffee and take I look at the pictures. She deserved to get all the money she got. The pictures are NSFW.

I brought it up because it's the easiest and most famous example to explain the misconceptions that the public have when they see a $20 million dollar lawsuit claim in America (see multiple posts in this thread).

Dude got $4-mill.

5 days 4 million.

DEA COME GET ME AND LEAVE ME IN FOR 10 DAYS !!! (innocent that is)

on another note, some dude asks "howd you become a millionaire"
chong : "oh, I drank my own piss in a room for 5 days." :pokerface:

I thought he would have received more....

^^^ well it was a settlement they didn't go to trial
he gets 3.2million after fees etc according to cbc Student forgotten for days in cell to get $4M from U.S. - World - CBC News

I wonder how Bear Grylls feels about Mr. Chong drinking urine surviving in his cell then get millions.

interesting. dude gets stuck in a cell due to a drug investigation and has to drink some urine... RS'ers say he should be getting millions. Dude pulls out a knife on a bus, doesn't hurt anyone, gets shot at 9 times by police, RS'ers say he deserved it and his own fault for being an idiot....

^ cause he did nothing illegal, was at the wrong place wrong time, hanging with the wrong people

and knife on a bus, screaming profanity and being aggressive? that warrants to being shot in most cases, but definitely not deserving of 9 shots

and how do you know that he did nothing illegal? Just because no charges were filed doesn't mean he's innocent. as far as the guy on the bus goes, none of the things you listed are illegal, so why did he DESERVE to be shot?

just curious, do you have fetal alcohol syndrome or something? its hard to believe someone without massive mental disabilities could be this stupid

as per the bill of rights
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges ... of citizens ... nor ... deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny ... the equal protection of the laws"

and also um, something we like to call habeas corpus

do you not read? i said he doesnt deserve to get shot 9 times.. guess thas how cops subdue people now a days
if u were to have no charges, im pree sure hes considered "innocent"

:suspicious:

last part was in regard to the comments about the DEA + kid getting locked up lol

being a direct and immediate threat to others (and yourself) is different than being detained for suspicion... and being deserted for four days with no food or water, if they forgot about him for another day or two he would have died. that would be a torturous slow death.

the guy on the bus didn't deserve to be shot, but he was gonna be taken down for sure one way or another.

drug suspicion/possession is not a threat to anyone. having a knife and screaming like a crazy in public is a major threat. there's a big difference dude.

no one DESERVES to get killed, but if you play on the train tracks, you're likely to get crushed.

Thank you for explaining the difference in detail, especially for xpl0sive's benefit. :)

You better lock me away, or I'll make you feel happy and euphoric man!
