What do you do when you can’t get what you want from government? Answer: Buy the domains names of the politicians involved. Set up a web site and put pornographic images on it with vulgar comments about them. Now that is redressing our grievances toward government.
That is what David Grant did after he didn’t get satisfaction from Los Angeles Unified School District over an injury he suffered. He reserved the domain name of LAUSD Superintendent Roy Romer – royromer.com – and domain names of the workers’ compensation attorney an others he didn’t get satisfaction from.
Now they are settling for $360,000 if the internet issues are resolved as well. See the story here.
LA Unified is on dangerous ground. What if parents did something along this line to get better test scores or teachers to get pay increases?
