CITY TARGETS MARIJUANA DISPENSARY FOR VIOLATING ITS OWN BUSINESS LICENSE
I couldn't believe what I was reading. Sue me, sue you, sue everybody. Only in America. This was one of The District's best stories. It is a shame that Harris was hit, but c'mon, why not just sue the entire city of Long Beach? Absolutely mental. This ain't a racial issue. It's an issue of money hungry moochers poaching businesses and landlords. It is obvious. And listen! You don't "invest" in Slurpees, you purchase them. Do we need to put warning labels on dollar bills? Have they no pride? The Harris' case makes no sense. (or should I say cases, plural)
Seriously, this is blowing my mind. For the first time in, forever, I don't know whether I agree with the author of a piece or not. And I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Theo, help me out here!
What is it that Star does for a living? She still have the salon?
thank you and good luck.
GOD IS GOOD, WHAT? ALL THE TIME.... STAR, YOU AND YOUR MOM WILL PREVAIL.... GOOD LUCK IN ALL YOUR RALLYING & COURT DATES.... THINGS CAN ONLY GO UP FROM HERE.... :+} REDNOZE
My trial date is next month...I indicate what happened if I can still afford to pay rent and electricity.

You and your Mom have fought to preserve your rights as human beings. I do not think I would have been as strong as you both are. Too hold onto your self respect and dignity is difficult in the best of situations and obviously this is not the best of situations.
Keep the "Fight" going until you are victorious.
I know my daughter has faith and Big Love for both of you!!!
Peace

Yes, Star does possess a bachelors degree from DeVry University (in response to Yiasha Seals’s comment), but if you knew how she attained it, you would not be impressed. I know who Star is and what she’s about. I went to school with her around 2002-2005 at DeVry University in Long Beach. She in deceitful, I saw her cheat her way through the entire degree program. I met her during our second or third semester at DU and was surprised that she did not have any knowledge of even the most basic engineering skills. I later found out how she managed to slip so far. Anybody that is familiar with DeVry University knows it is a very small college. For the most part, the same professors teach the engineering classes every semester. So the curriculum does not change much from semester to semester. Star would gather notes, homework, and tests from students ahead of her and use this to get a passing grade. Doesn’t mean she knows much about engineering. Put her to the test. She does not know the first thing about what it takes to be an accomplished engineer, or respectable member of society. Everyone knew that she was leaching off the rest to get ahead. Eventually, I figured, it will come back and bite her. She even went as far (and this is a fact) to dig into a recycling bin during a lab and copied another classmate’s programming code. She was caught by the instructor and denied the whole incident (pathetic). I don’t know much of Star outside of school. But if her school habits are any indication, I am sure she is out to no good. I am just speculating, but I am willing to bet she is far removed from the engineering field. Who would seriously hire her? I personally do not have a grudge with Star, but it infuriated to see her graduate knowing that she did deserve it. Some may think that I am exaggerating, but I am hoping other former students will come forward and expose Star for the true person she is; a fraud. I am embarrassed to say I graduated along side her in 2005.
FYI, in response to your “Freudian slip”, I corrected myself in my following comment. Also, I am not the least bit bitter. She has no impact on my life. As far as me having the authority to get her degree revoked, I am flattered you think that highly of me. But, number one, I don’t have any power to revoke her degree. Number two, I don’t care. Why would I try to stop her from cheating? It wasn’t going to influence whether I graduated or not. Honestly, there is real no point in cheating through college. As long as you keep dishing out the money, you can attend DeVry. You just try to absorb as much information as possible. Cheating buys you an empty, meaningless degree.
Mafia AKA Star Harris:
That’s great. It sounds like you accomplished many things in your lifetime. I notice you don’t deny ever being dishonest while at DeVry. I also noticed there is no mention of engineering in your present or future. Why is that? How can you honestly claim you earned that degree?
(and, might I add, over 30 lawsuits IS a "habitual suer")
If Susan Burgess didn't deserve the JUST money awarded to her, why do you deserve a dime from someone else in the same court of law?
