From the article:

But when he tried to open a savings account for the money at the Livonia branch, staff said they would need to verify the cheques. The assistant bank manager - herself a black woman - went to a backroom, before returning and telling Mr Thomas their team member who verifies cheques was not there. She allegedly asked him how he got the money.

Ten minutes later - after Mr Thomas said he would wait in the lobby for the staff member to return - four police officers arrived.

I'm taking bets the asst. bank manager was told she had to ask by someone else behind the scenes. Then that someone called the cops.

WTH is a beat cop going to do though? How would they know if the check is legit or not? They should have deposited it and waited to see if the funds came in.

Dewey, I'm cut in half pretty bad.

Great movie. Walk Hard, with Charles Nelson Riley.

Man am I glad to hear that. I just got a weed trimmer there and wasn't sure I made the right choice.

I took a glance at the list in BadBlock+ and there are a ton of things I'm glad they're blocking, and a few that I am not. They have grafana.com in there, e.g. I intend to allow sites when needed but will keep the file in use.

So, tried again in my phone and its uBlock Origin in Ironfox that's complaining. Odd, because I have the same extension in my desktop PC.

Thanks. It goes in just fine on my desktop, so there's something else on my phone that didn't like it. Not sure what, all good for now in any case.

(My ad blocker doesn't like *.techspot.com. Is it OK or are they shady?)

The whole 2015 article:

Sylvia Driskell, a 66-year-old woman from Auburn, Nebraska, filed a federal lawsuit last week titled Driskell v. Homosexuals. Driskell, acting as her own lawyer and the ambassador of “God, And His, Son Jesus Christ,” would like the District Court in Omaha to determine whether being gay is a sin. She did not cite any previous court cases in her petition, which is seven pages long and written in cursive, instead relying on the consul of Merriam-Webster and the Bible. Driskell asks, “Why are judges passing laws, so sinners can break religious, and moral laws. Will all the judges of this Nation, judge God to be a lier [sic].”

The civil-rights case has been assigned to Judge John M. Gerrard, and no summons have been issued. Many people around the country have been surprised to learn that they were being sued by some person they had never met in Nebraska.
