City Creek Center Mall Suing Crazy Man for Losses (link)

They'll spend $100,000 in legal fees, keep a negative story in the news, and eventually seize all his assets.....all $12.59

Well, they will spend a few thousand filing the suit, of which 10% will be returned by guilty persuasion in the form of tithing from the law offices of Kirton McConkie, of whom, feel ultra grateful that the LDS church dedicated to God their office buildings, and by default their business, law practice and members.

Basically, it is just the Lord moving some of his money to people he loves.

They're paying themselves.

Jesus will have Taubman foot the legal fees so He will actually make money on the suit.

An upscale shopping center in the heart of Salt Lake City is suing a Utah man charged with plotting a mass shooting at the mall, claiming his threats brought bad publicity and led workers and shoppers to fear for their safety.

Prosecutors say Jack Harry Stiles, 42, planned to randomly shoot people at the City Creek Center this week, the anniversary of his mother's death. In addition, they say he planned to open fire at a movie theater and wire a bomb underneath a bus.

According to a lawsuit filed Wednesday, attorneys for City Creek said that "a significant amount of negative media attention has been drawn" to the center because of the case, and it has left visitors, tenants and employees worried about their safety and security. The filing came just two days after Stiles' arrest.

The shopping center is seeking a permanent court order barring Stiles from coming with 4,000 feet of the mall and at least $300,000 in damages, with the full amount to be determined in court.

"I am a child of god
with thoughts of shooting up a mall,
Since my mother died last year,
I tried to cope with it all.
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
help me find the way, to get mental health like jesus would provide
so the Mo Corp won't sue me some dark day."

The movie was Minority Report, which I thought wasn't half bad.

More than that, it was dang good.

Court records show he didn't have any weapons but state he was planning to buy two guns with silencers and stock up on ammunition.

However, if he had weapons and had gone to City Creek Mall, he could have inflicted damage. That should be enough to recoup a tithing shortfall.
