This is why we need to be able to directly sue government officials for damages.
-
I hate when people in power make mistakes try to cover their mistakes by making others suffer.
-
Mayor's office says "We are researching the situation" which really means "We f'ed up and are figuring out how to cover our a$$es"
-
Wow. Absolutely insane story. The city needs to rebuild his home AND pay damages. Yet they double down instead, it's disgraceful. I hope he got justice.
-
Legally they need to put his property back as it was. They must put his house back up fully .! .. and they have to eat the cost of their own mistake. End of story.
-
The city bureaucrats are being spiteful. They are upset that the story was aired, so now they are trying to “teach the guy a lesson “. What a bunch of jerks. I hope he sues them!
-
Thank god for news stations like these who actually report on local news. This man needs his story known
-
If I went and knocked a house down I'd be arrested
-
He clearly needs a better lawyer
-
He better file a lawsuit against the demolition company too
-
Sue the person who made the mistake not the man you wrongfully made homeless.
-
Could it be someone in the City Gov. who wants the property for themself?
-
The system is corrupt to begin with. The city gets months to prepare a law suit, and the defendant gets 21 days to find a lawyer, and file a response.
-
At this point, they’re probably just gonna try and bankrupt him with lawyer fees. This is just pure evil.
-
They demolished this man, Everett Tripodis', home in 2017 that he bought with his mother. Now theyre suing him. Its been 6 years and he STILL hasnt been made whole. Everyone for the Atlanta government needs to be fired from top to bottom.
-
What a backwards system. They should be compensating him the cost of rebuilding his home, not charging him for their mistake.
-
I'm surprised that the person who signed the demolition and the individuals who did the demolition haven't been arrested for destruction of private property.
-
How can they sue him they made the mistake
-
The guy who made the mistake written wrongly the address on the papers is the one that should be being suited and paying for all the damages made to the homeowner and the city
-
Start arresting those responsible for unjust deprivation of property
