PROFILE

In my seven years at the Daily News, I've bounced from covering the toy industry to crime to just about everything in between, at least for a day or two. Now, I'm going to try to learn about the next part of the legal system: courts and the justice system. Since my prior experience is limited to one trial, a few bankruptcy stories and serving on jury duty twice, we'll see how things go. Come check in from time to time and tell me how I'm doing.

Gracias for your help and enjoy your trip.

« Angry actor leaves valet $318,000 tip after dumb racial slur | Main | Murderer gets double life, plus another hundred in the pen »

Thanks for the feedback, dear reader

Michael Griffin didn't care for my Omar Sharif story. He emailed this kindly missive to share his displeasure.

You gotta be kidding........ you dug up a 3 year old case just to get printed?

Get a life.... get a real job.

The illegal alien valet would probably have made more money in euros had he been smart enough to count.

Normally, I try to respond kindly and civilly to all our readers, no matter how much I disagree with their sentiment. Today, however, I don't feel like it. I'm sick of people's rude comments and how they use every story to bash immigrants, legal or otherwise. So, in my lame little "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore" moment, I wrote back.

Dear Mr. Griffin,

Thank you so much for taking the time to carefully read the article
and offer such constructive criticism. I guess you missed the news
that this court ruling came down this week (the justice system moves
rather slowly), and that Mr. Anderson is not an illegal alien. Since
you paid attention to the facts so carefully, I won't take your
personal attacks upon me seriously.

Have a lovely day and if you'd like to talk more, please give me a
call at 818-713-3738.

Cheers,
Brent

This is bad form, I know. My mom would be appalled, because if you respond to a bully, then you only give them strength, right? Well, then I fell into the trap and shame on me.

No, better yet, shame on Mr. Griffin.
