Teenager Wins Email Suit Against City of Kokomo

An anonymous reader writes "Recently, a 16 year old sued the city of Kokomo, Indiana for access to an email list that he suspected the mayor was mis-using for political purposes. Despite the mayor's refusal to give in, the teenager won the case. The city will have to pay not only for the expensive attorneys they hired, but may have to compensate the 16 year old's pro-bono counsel."

    However since she is a democrat I doubt anyone would call her on this.

    You are an ignorant ass, so we won't focus on her. You are too stupid to see the difference between a mayor taking a list from the government to use for personal reasons, and trying to deny the list to everyone else, compared to someone that puts all people who send her email on her list.

    Are you too stupid to realize that you sent her your email address willingly? You gave it to her. She didn't steal it. It isn't about politicians sending emails. It is about a politician that used a list he shouldn't, then illegally denied access to it for others. I don't care if you got an email from someone you hate. I'm glad it pissed you off. You sound pretty stupid and petty.

    Oh, and no, I'm not a Democrat. Not just Democrats recognize stupidity when they see it.
