Boy I sure wish I had been involved with this thread, Patrick pretends he’s an attorney, and yet, has no knowledge of the law?

Kara is bar far one of the few that judge the law by its letter and doesnt pick and choose what law to obey.

Boy I wish you'd read the entire comment thread before hitting the submit button, Ass-Lip.

Kara, I’m trying to engage you in a moral discussion, not a legal discussion

Yeah, Don, that's totally the canine, servile attitude about unjust laws your government wants. Good doggie!

Just found out about this Mundy a**hole while listening to the "Crybabies" episode of This American Life. You make some great points in your post. I have to believe Mundy's self-serving litigation will catch up with him once California law is amended to prevent this kind of injustice, rather than facilitate it. If those with disabilities truly want to prevent discrimination, they should get behind these small business owners and stop Mundy and his band exploitative thugs. There not just harming small business owners–they're raping the California tax payer and undermining the intent of the ADA. And to the poor Mr. Mundy: you may be laughing your way to the bank for now, but there must be a God that you will never walk there.

Unfortunately, even businesses that do their best to be accessible still get sued, by Mundy and others, there about a dozen in California that sue everyone.

I have video of this guy coming in my store every month to purchase cigarettes, he has no issues, we have a ramp and are in pretty good compliance and yet he says nothing, but then sues, just stating there are access barriers….HUH, what, he comes in every month, by himself and his dog, what are the barriers, well I'm sure he can find something.

But the reality is he's a good customer and has no problem getting in the store, wheeling around and leaving. But I have to settle because it's cheaper than fighting and winning. So that's just one guy, what about the next one….

@ patrick
"Do you really want a federal inspector of buildings, doing nothing but walking into other people’s places of business to check for ADA compliance annually, Victim?"

Whether people really want it is irrelevant to the need for this type of inspection. IF its nessecary for a building inspector to checka building for structural deficiencies why not check for ADA compliance as well preventing any possibility of the business owners being scapegoated by people like Mundy?

I would just like to point this out for Kara

http://www.ablegamers.com/general-game-news/visually-impaired-gamer-sues-soe-for-game-accommodations-ablegamers-statement.html

Is this morally or legally justifiable?
The plaintiff is this case is legally blind, and is sueing a company that supplies visually focused media becuase its visually focused and difficult for him to use as such. Claiming monetary damages via a service that is also visually focused.
There are software programs out there 9some built into your Operating systems) that use text-to-speech that assist visually impaired persons in using computer applications that by and large are by there nature visually oriented.
I think that the point people are trying to express to you Kara, is at what point does it cross the line from valid complaint to simple extortion for monetary gain, with no vested interest in improving the quality of life for other disabled persons?

Mundy / Mehrban sued me last year for no ADA bathroom at Maxwells but we have a brand new ADA bathroom! The lawyers said it would be cheaper to pay them off than take them to court to fight it. These assholes know exactly what it costs to go to court and they make it so people save money by paying them $5000 everytime they walk thru a door. They both belong in jail.
There should be a class action suit against them. Mundy is a disgusting excuse for a human.

Further to my last…..the ADA was written and is enforced to guaranty access to the disabled. That is a fine goal. Mundy et al are violating at least the spirit of the law as their law suits do not reflect Mundy's inability to access services. This is demonstrated by the steady volume of suits filed by him! I have checked his filings in the Superior Court. They are pages long. Query: how does a disabled man in a wheel chair find so much inaccessible in so little time? I believe an able bodied citizen would struggle to match Mundy's quotidian rounds! Let's STOP Munday and the bottom feeders he dines with.

What if the law were changed to require the aggreived party to notify the business of the alleged violation and the business would have thirty days to correct the problem. If the business failed THEN a lawsuit may be filed. Check the court dockets there are pages and pages and pages of Mundy filings! Let's stop whining and act! Anybody interested in forming a citizen's coalition?

There's nothing about Mundy that couldn't be fixed by inserting vexatious litigant protections into the ADA.
