That's nice, some poor old soul; probably experiencing mental difficulties and there are people around her that just enable the behavior. Good job family members and atty taking the case.

Talk about common sense that when you are out in public you should treat everyone with respect and she should have know better. Everyone know there is a code of conduct and honor by the time they are at least 7 years old

When a kitty is naughty do you spank that bad pussycat ? Do you throw it out ? NOOOOOO
You counsel and hug. You love it.
So this Mama told off somebody who probably treated her like a child. Spoke loudly when she could hear ok. Scolded her etc.
Go Mama go.

Behring Senior Center director Tammy Derrickson said Milestone didn't treat others with respect, used abusive language and was physically threatening>quote

Just how physically threatening can a 78 year old woman be? Take away her cane or walker and let her back in. Maybe remove her dentures also. Can't be too careful, you know.

Nice lady. Free speech ends when you are violating others rights. Being verbally abusive and physically threatening violated those rights. You lose.
And you want to be awarded compensation also? I hope the judge slaps her with a penalty for a frivolous lawsuit.

C'mon lady, frivolous lawsuits are usually the stuff of wacked-out middle agers. Are the attorneys over there so down on their luck that they go looking for seniors to rip off with some goofy filing? All you need to do is either keep a civil tongue in your mouth or shut the **** up!

Don't worry Behring Center, because of her age, by the time this goes before a jury Edith will probably be forgetting who she is and what this case is all about. And if she still has a mind "a jury of her peers" won't be too sympathetic.

Good for her!!!

It's always refreshing to see someone stand up for their rights, whether you agree with them or not.

Fine, throw away the conduct code. Next time this lady gets verbally abusive and threatens other card players, they can just smack her over the head with a chair.

This woman and her lawyer are clueless.

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Leo

If you ask someone to give you a hand today, don't be surprised if they make a mess of it. That's probably because their mind isn't on the job, but it might also be because your instructions aren't as clear as usual. So before you get angry, check that what you said made sense. Relations with someone older or more influential than you could also be blighted by confusion or doubt now.
