Florida Man Sues WikiLeaks For Scaring Him
Stoobalou writes "WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been accused of 'treason' by a Florida man seeking damages for distress caused by the site's revelations about the US government. From the article: 'David Pitchford, a Florida trailer park resident, names Assange and WikiLeaks as defendants in a personal injury suit filed with the Florida Southern District Court in Miami. In the complaint filed on 6th January, Pitchford alleges that Assange's negligence has caused "hypertension," "depression" and "living in fear of being stricken by another heart attack and/or stroke" as a result of living "in fear of being on the brink of another nuclear [sic] WAR."' Just for good measure, it also alleges that Assange and WikiLeaks are guilty of 'terorism [sic], espionage and treason.'"
From the summary: "in fear of being on the brink of another nuclear [sic] WAR."'
From the article: "in fear of being on the brink of another nucliar [sic] WAR".
It would help if posters didn't correct spelling for words which are followed by [sic].
I suppose so, since it was yesterday that Sarah Palin claimed she was being accused of murdering Christian babies to use their blood in unholy rituals.

None of them can see the clouds; The polished wings don't care.
The submitter doesn't know how to properly use [sic]. The article spells it "nucliar". Submitter corrected it for some reason and added [sic] anyway.
Being a Florida resident I think you are mixing up the words "trailer" and "manufactured home". They are completely different.Trailers have wheels, and (at least at one point) could be moved from one location to another on them. Modular/manufactured homes can be as bad as a trailer or as nice as a mansion. They are often trucked in in prefab sections that are assembled together on-site. If you have any doubts which is which just drive past after a hurricane. If there is an empty lot with some aluminum debris it was most likely a trailer.

Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?
As someone who lived in Florida, in a mobile home park ... right across the street from a plant that made 'manufactured homes' ... when a hurricane or in our case a tornado comes through, they both look exactly the same afterwords, randomly thrown around insulation and aluminum.
They are the same thing, the difference is one they take the wheels off of and set it on the ground, the other they leave them there and set it on blocks. They both can go from trash to mansions, but they are still built like mobile homes and the end result is that anything you can easily truck down the road in preassembled pieces turns out is also light and weakly manufactured enough for high winds to rip it to shreds.
If you sit a mobile home on the ground so the wind can't get under it, it'll hold up just as long as a 'manufactured home'. Likewise, put a 'manufactured home' on blocks off the ground with siding around it so the wind can pick it up and it'll die as fast as a 'mobile home'
The only difference between the two is they leave the trailer on blocks, which at least means you can put the axels back on it and move it relatively easy.
Their both still mobile homes, even if you want to pretend they aren't. Neither hold up much better than your typical RV/Travel Trailer and are far less mobile however far more spacious (generally).
