"Judge dismisses bar owners' lawsuit"

From The Journal Times.com:

"RACINE— A federal judge has dismissed the civil rights lawsuit brought against the city by the former owners of six shuttered bars.

"The order was issued Wednesday morning in Milwaukee by U.S. District Judge J.P. Stadtmueller.

"Filed Feb. 25 in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, the suit alleged that the city, Mayor John Dickert and 17 other defendants engaged in an elaborate plot to bankroll Dickert’s campaign while conspiring to drive minority tavern owners out of the city and give their liquor licenses to white bar owners.

"The judge dismissed those claims without prejudice so there could still be more pleadings and filings to follow in the case."

I assume this will be appealed and that will be appealed. It could take years.

If the judge would have gone along with the suit, I wonder if the Journal Times would have printed it in the paper!

And now the newspaper is on it, too. The conspiracy is deeper than anyone ever suspected. No one is safe!

The John Dickert Times is an embarrassment to our community.

"Plaintiffs to refile in bars lawsuit" - http://journaltimes.com/news/local/plaintiffs-to-refile-in-bars-lawsuit/article_332c2a64-0474-599a-ab71-a9c57b24a39f.html

Like I said, this will go on forever.

It's not an appeal.

It's re-filing.

Th Judge recognizes that there are merits to the Complaint.

It just doesn't rise to the level of RICO.
