We live behind the R&R Mansion listed on the Total Max website – its a party almost every single weekend, loud bass, etc., virtually nothing we can do. So frustrating.
Anonymous 10:26 AM–The R & R Mansion party–Yes there is something you can do. Make videos and document noise. Contact Metro. Noise is prohibited after 11:00 PM. You can file suit for a nuisance and seek an injunction for the intereference with your use and enoyment of your property with raucous parties. The owner/operator of the house will be liable for damages. Important to get a noise docimeter to measure the noise. There are probably illegal activities taking place at house.
Self help remedy
Throw your dog's poop over the fence. Try to hit the pool. Better yet, try for the jacuzzi. To help with your throw, freeze today's poop in baggie and throw the frozen surprise tomorrow.
If you call the cops with a noise complaint they won't do anything if the noise is stopped by the time they get there. Call w/o turning on your lights or telling them to be quiet…just call 311 and report them every time.
311 is worthless. Every time I've ever tried to call that number, I never get through.
11:26 AM–Yes agreed calling 311 is difficult. You need to e-mail Metro and or contact a Captain in your area command and discuss this nuisance house. This is what we did with a drug house in my neighborhood. Eventually METRO got so many complaints that it got their attention and they took action. It took a while and the efforts of many frustrated neighbors who could not take it any more.
"They are running gas lines, electrical lines — who knows what’s behind those walls because they’re not being inspected. They’re not using licensed contractors for this work," Skurow says. "It’s only a matter of time before it takes out a block, a house, a bachelor party or a porn video shoot."
Won't someone think of the poor innocent porn video shoots?
So, the judge will decide whether the State can proceed with Zane Floyd's execution.
If the judge approves such order, how much longer will this take? These crimes(read: mass murder at an Albertson's) were committed in 1999.
Either have the death penalty as a viable option, or abolish it. I understand that these cases are of the utmost critical importance and, by necessity, need to take a few years.
But a quarter century passes in many case, with millions spent, and there is still no end in sight.
So, even if the order is signed, I bet he will still remain on death row by 2025. Correction, he will still be there in 2028 or 2030.
State judge can approve whatever he wants. Federal judge will put this on hold another decade. Also are there really any drugs available for this?
Drugs,
Absolutely, two come to mind immediately -morphine, pentothal. The former is routinely used to dispatch the dying in hospitals, the latter is a quick, reliable and humane euthanasia routinely used for pets. Neither causes pain or discomfort.
All the chatter about death penalty drugs is the hubris of the anti death penalty crowd.
The problem is not that there aren't drugs that will do the job. The problem is that the pharmaceutical companies do not want to be associated with the death penalty and so they will not consent to sell their drugs to the state for the purpose of killing a person.
I will say @3:05 you seem to have a really cavalier attitude about killing. Kinda sick.
Use St. Floyd's preferred method of death: Fentanyl. Nevada could buy straight from China and a few grams would take care of our entire backlog. Best part is you can just put in the food or hand out bye bye blunts laced with it.
Another idea would be firing squad, but make it cashflow by auctioning the shooter role to whoever wants to participate (with anonymity and a black mask the day of the execution. There are a lot of thrill seekers who would pay top dollar for the opportunity. Making money disposing of dirtbags.
Thrill seekers who are not necessarily expert marksmen. I think the latter is more of a prerequisite than the former.
11:55–it gets far worse than the (nearly) quarter century you refer to in the Zane Floyd matter.
Tracy Petrocelli, now 69 has been on death row in Nevada for nearly 40 years–since 1982.
Yes, these cases are of critical importance and need to take years. But 20 years, 30 years, or 40 years?! And, as you indicate, millions upon millions spent.
No point in having the death penalty in Nevada. Not used since 2006, and look at the individual situation–Zane Floyd sentenced to death in 1999. Tracy Petrocelli, sentenced to death in 1982, etc., etc.
So, either abolish it or revamp it so it is no longer a total farce.
I looked up the name Zane Floyd. I remember that evil scumbag! It was my supermarket!!!!!! He still draws breath?!?! No, this is wrong. Completely wrong. Nevada is a toast if that scum sits in an airconditioned cell with three meals a day. Completely wrong. I would pay to be in the marksman lottery for that scumbag. And I will place at least 29 of the 30 shots I take.
Is anyone willing to share insight on judge Mary Kay Holthus? I have a case in front of her and don't know anything about her.
Nice person. Dreadfully bad as a civil judge. Like you know that she means well and is not mailing it in. But has no idea what she is doing. But that gives you a 50/50 shot that you are going to win.
I totally disagree on Holthus. I've had a few hearings before her where I really had to explain to her the development of the law and the facts. She was affirmed on both my cases. She did take her time in making her decision, but that's a small price for getting it right.
I agree with 6:06 and a portion of 8:28. You have to explain the facts and law to her like she is a lay juror so it is like having a member of the public sitting on the bench.
Typical situation where attorneys are contentiously programmed to "totally disagree" even when an examination of their own words show they are in fact largely agreeing with someone.
6:06 says the judges lacks sufficient knowledge in civil matters. 8:28 then "totally disagrees" but then concedes the judge lacks sufficient knowledge in such matters, and that therefore 8:28 must guide her as to the legal matters involved.
Incorrect. 6:06 accuses Holthus of not knowing what she is doing. 8:26 explains she does because she reaches the right result.
