Real, Strange News

Holy cow, and I thought DC was a rational place were everything made sense! There goes my innocense

Pearson is the product of a spoiled, have-anything-I-want childhood. He needs to get over himself and let this go. It's just a pair of pants! There are so many other injustices in this world to be outraged over and fight for other than a stupid pair of pants. It's not like it's the only pair he has either. Remember that what goes around, comes around; and he'll get this same treatment in return, plus some. He's already given himself a bad name and probably has ruined his career because of his narcissistic attitude.

It is a shame that in our society even judges will dishonor their positions. Society looks up to judges as moral barometers and no one expects to see the system and immigrants abused and bullied by one. I sincerely hope that this judge is disapplined in some form for his disgraceful, childish and entitled behavior.

Emil, How can we all find out the names of the four judges considering this guy's reappointment? I think some input from the public into this decision is in order. It would be a travesty to have this guy sit behind a gavel for another 10 years!

Please comment back if you have that information.

This guy should be removed from the bench pronto! If he cannot see how disproportionate his demands are, he has absolutely no business being in a position which requires common sense discretion on a daily basis.

Glaring example of the need for Tort reform!!

Could the Judge suffer from excessive compulsive disorder - he needs help.

I don't know if this will help, but this has the Judge's and Commisioners last name that will decide if he serves another 10 years as judge.

I AM ASHAMED THAT OUR COUNTRY IS ALLOWING A PERSON LIKE THIS TO DECIDE THEIR FATE.

THIS MAN WALKED INTO AN ESTABLISHMENT JUST AS SUCH: A MAN. NOT A JUDGE. NOT IN ROBE.

HE WALKED IN AS ANY MAN ON THE STREET WOULD.

NOW HE WANTS TO ABUSE HIS POSITION BY SHOVING BEING A JUDGE DOWN EVERYONES' THROATS.

SHAMEFULL, JUST SHAMEFULL.

IF I WAS FACE TO FACE WITH HIM ON THE STREET I'D TELL HIM TO AND I QUOTE "KISS MY ASS" THE FREEDOM OF SPEACH ALLOWS ME TO DO SO, SINCE HE IS NOT IN A ROBE.

I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR JUSTICES THANKS TO HIM. HIS GREED JUST PROVES THAT THE ONLY REASON HE IS A JUDGE IS BECAUSE OF THE POWER NOT BECAUSE HE GIVES A DAMN.

looking into the 4 officials

If this guy is a judge, he should be remove from the bench. The sooner the better.

This guy is an a-hole. We should also note that his obstreperous actions raise the cost of dry cleaning for everyone in the DC area.

Worse, he's an idiot. He's a judge, but he shows a clear misunderstanding of basic contract law (no emotional distress except in extraordinary circumstances; no punitive damages; no unforeseeable reliance under Hadley v. Baxendale). Of course he might be trying to sue in tort, but this is a clear contract case and the case should be thrown back into the contract arena by the pure pecuniary loss rule

USA sucks. Yes, i was born here. Raised here. Make my money here, Pay taxes here, etc... This 'pants' issues is clear proof: the system sucks...sheesh.

Anyone know if it is possible for them to sue and re-coop their legal fees?

Roy Pearson had homosexual relations with three other lawyers. Okay, now sue me!

Roy Pearson's road to ultimate corruption is well underway.

Roy, just so you know...$65 million will not be enough to buy your way to heaven. Go to church this Sunday and think about it!

It's abuse and childish on the judges behalf. The Chungs made a mistake of misplacing his pants. BIG DEAL!! They made an honest mistake and suing for that amount is CRAZY!! At worst sue for the amount the pants cost. There has to be something that the Chungs can do about this crabbie judge. I wish them the best.

The e-mail address for Pearson's employer, the Office of Administrative Hearings is: oah@dc.gov

Let your voice be heard about this guy's behavior!

I will be a JUDGE in Washington in my next LIFE, and I' ll be Rich and Famous as most of the Judges in the USA.
Thanks for Your Honest and well respect, Mr. Judge.

I think you're missing the point. That must have been a really nice pair of pants. You know, the kind that you could search for a lifetime and never find again.
Take a step back from all the legality and walk a mile in this man's shoes, except try to walk that mile without your favorite pair of slacks. If you take some time out and think about it, it's absolutely heartbreaking.

To make matters worse, he got screwed by a bunch of immigrants. There's no justice for situations like this. Everyone loses. Except the sweat shop workers who make the pants, probably somewhere in Korea. Because now they get to make one more pair of pants.

What is worng with this country can be traced back to these very people.. and a system that is messed up that it would even allow this to carry on.. Roy Pearson is a sham, a racist, blood sucking parasite, a disgrace to humanity, people are starving in the world and he is worried about pants, i feel bad for hime he has a horrible life

He is a greeding man and a racist one too.

Pearson should be immediately removed as a judge and disbarred. And if he is reappointed, we've got to seriously consider removing the people who reappoint him.

But this is the city that reelected Marion
Barry so we shouldn't expect much.

On Gene Weingarten's chat update one poster refers to the "a##hole tax", the penalty we all pay for the sins of a few, examples being self flush toilets, hot air hand dryers, etc. "Judge" Pearson [he is an administrative law judge, not a real judge, so I am sure he insists on being called "Judge"] is a more heinous example. Too fat to fit in his suit pants, too solipsistic to accept that things happen, too ego centric to comprehend the damage he does to public confidence in the system, he will create a counter movement that will work to the disadvantage of people with legitimate complaints.

Remove this pig. Dont let it go and make a stink, these kind of people need to be put down like a rabid dog!!!

Someone check this guy's resume. Something stinks.

OMIGOD! Another ratification of my addage, "Republicans Own The Best Judges Money Can Buy". I'm willing to bet he left the receipt ,from Pamela Martin Associates, in the pants and needs it for his negotiations for his book and movie. I say go ahead with discovery, bring the 'judge' in for a deposition and see if he really has suffered $65M worth of damages or only $6.50 that he paid for his britches. The Chungs should sue Pearson for public stupidity on a national scale. I'll be watching for his name on "20/20".

I would suggest this judges' actions are driven by something more than a simple desire to prove a point. His refusal to accept a settlement well beyond any just compensation demonstrates an attempt to destroy someone's livelihood using the burden of litigation.
I'm curious what his record on the bench looks like in cases involving persons of asian descent.

Speechless. Beyond his complete demonstration of being an a-hole, I wonder how prejudice can this man be toward these immigrants who (happens to) labor by washing his soiled garments.

What an hypocritical man! He is a shameful to the justice system, higher education, and his associations, affiliations.

What's next... will we learn later that he is a church elder? Where are those omnipresent African-American community leaders now like Rev. Jackson to advocate peace, justice, and decency.

Wow, what a judge. How much is he making to get himself another suit or just a pair of pant? Shame, shame, sham

The most honorable judge has an ego bigger than the political process he has sworn by oath to uphold!

He is abusing an overly taxed judicial system because "he can" and he "knows how to". I hope they do the right thing and remove this person from the position of power he is abusing.... With all of the other ills we presently have in society, this child like behavior over a pair of pants should be remedied immediately.

Its criminal. This SOB had destroyed the life of a couple of hard working Americans. He is an IDIOT. Should be disbarred ASAP.

This guy is an american helping destroy the country that I have been raised in, fought for and support. Actions like this should be considered similar to terrorism, of course without the killing. If the justice system works he will be removed from position immediately, counter sued for damages and thrown in joe arpaios tent city in arizona (where you have none of the luxuries of prison) for a long time. Then when he gets out take his citizenship away, send him to korea and let the justice begin.

This guy shouldn't just be removed from the bench, he should be removed from society.

What is sad is that he is finding joy in the complete destruction of someone's life for an inconvenience that means nothing.

He is proof that some people are just bad people. They are just mean-spirited at heart and get joy from being cruel. I pity him more than anything. He's not even a man.

However, GOD IS JUST. He WILL be judged for this in the court that really matters and he'll lose that case for sure.

I cannot believe what I just read. This man should be booted and disbarred.

As a judge, I'm sure he makes a comfortable living. While an immigrant family with a small business trying to make a living gets shoved into a legal nightmare. Their taxes are paying for this judge's salary!!

So is this assh*le judge a Republican or a Democrat. I take it he's a Republican because, if he was a Democrat, WaPo would have made mention of the fact.

So how's about it, WaPo? Am I right or wrong?

Roy L. Pearson Jr., you are a very, very, very, bad, evil man. We will never meet.

www.courts.state.va.us/opinions/opncavwp/0561044.pdf

As an American I am ashamed and embarassed that these hard working people came over, paid taxes and attempted to live the American Dream only to be railroaded by an anti-social jerk in a position of power. The damage he has caused goes way beyond the Chungs, it affects our whole country, our reputation and our very way of life.
To that end I move he be charged with Treason and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

what a complete idiot...! i hope his career as a judge is doomed because he shows a complete lack of good sense.

As someone who's been screwed over by Custom Cleaners too let me say there service sux. I'm glad they're going out of business. $65 mil is a lot of money but the sign said "Satisfaction Garaunteed" and Pearson wasn't satisfied. They needed to their fraud right and they failed. Now they have to pay for it. I'm sick of people doing a half assed job. Cleaners will be a lot more careful from now on you can bet.

Step one: The judge's claim must be denied and sanctions imposed on him. The rules of court provide for sanctions to be imposed on those who bring BS lawsuits. The amount of the santion ought be the same amount the people being sued had to pay for legal fees. Step two: The judge's job cannot be renewed. Step three: Serious disciple ought to be imposed by the the bar; maybe a suspension but not disbarment, that's too harsh.

"Satisfaction Guaranteed" only works when the possibility to satisfy exist in the first place.

Looks like he did similar thing at his divorce case:

"The trial court found that husband [Roy Pearson] was substantially responsible for 'excessive driving up' of the legal costs by 'threatening both wife and her lawyer with disbarment [sic],' and creating unnecessary litigation."

See http://www.courts.state.va.us/opinions/opncavwp/0561044.pdf

Pearson, yes, let's just say that you win. You send them back to wherever they came from.
They won't revenge b/c they are powerless people who don't even speak English, Right?
Yes, you would ruin their lives for good. You would think they are so dump. You get some money. Yes! Exactly how you want it.

Hey, Guess what. People in America won't let you get what you want this time. I can picture that you will bring punishment to yourself because of your nonsense, your own arrogance.

Gosh! Thank God We know better. Gosh! I can't believe how dump you are.

TO TOM: According to the article he asked to be compensated for the suit and they refused. It was only after he brought them to court that they tried to settle. He was reasonable first and they thought he would buckle. He didn't and now they are crying about it. I got no sympathy for sham artists like them. Let them go back to Korea, no skin off my back.

Roy L Pearson Jr (202) 269-1191 3012 Pineview Ct NE, Washington, DC 20018

DOUBLE CHECKED

He should not be a judge if all he thinks is ripping people off for money. He is a greedy ....!!

To Jim, so that's a good reason to ruin their lives.

To Jim, DC: Yea and we all know about people like you who bring already damaged/stained clothes to dry cleaners then demand restitution claiming the dry cleaners damaged/stained it.

As you put it,"I got no sympathy for sham artists like them. Let them go back to , no skin off my back."

This just shows us what horrible people can do. And I'm pretty sure almost all of the people who wrote here understand.

Maybe he will sue us for "mental suffering" because we said something bad about him.

The pants that he is suing for were found and returned, but he considered it "too late." Take a look

http://americandrycleaner.com/Community/DisplayStory.asp?id=715

This guy's behaviour is pathetic... and he's supposed to be a judge?? What a disgraceful example for the judiciary.

It's obvious he's p***ed off over the legal fees he had to pay from his divorce with his wife. See the below link, at the bottom under "VI Attorney's Fees":

"The trial court found that husband was substantially responsible for "excessive driving up" of the legal costs by "threatening both wife and her lawyer with disbarment [sic]," and creating unnecessary litigation. Consequently, it awarded wife $12,000 in legal fees to be paid by husband."

This kind of thing is why you cannot get a fair shake even when you are legitamately harmed either physically or otherwise

A judge needs to know the law well, and have good friends in powerful positions. That's about all it takes. The guy could be an a**hole but hey, this is what happens when our society is results-driven. Ethics are out the door these days. What matters is if you can deliver solid results. This happens in every sector, not just law.

Jim in DC,... You sure know alot more about this than I read in this article. Sounds like your last name might be Pearson or one of his employees! I'm sure glad our kids laid their lives on the altar of Freedom for Americans like you. Pearson is the worst example Ive seen in the press, but his actions I'm afraid have become commonplace.

Well said, Jim. They did a bad job, they should suffer the consequences. I don't mean $65 million, but at least a few thousand dollars. The suit was worth $1,100.

What do you expect?!?! He's a nigra! We should pack all the apes on boats and send their monkey asses back to Africa! Good Riddance!

As Americans it our right to sue. No other country in the world allows it to level we have. Maybe the judge went to far, but he didn't break any law or violate any oath. He played the game within the rules. If you don't like the game move to Europe were there is liittle to no or recourse against negligence or fraudulent business practices and stop whining

I heard he bought the suit from Goodwill. Another judge that thinks he's God when the low life is really just racist scum.

Please! Come on folks! This is total BS. Republicans supporting tort reform are behind this act and this story. This is an insult to our Intelligence.

Hey...wait just a minute. Isn't this the kind of legal system we want to spread with democracy. We need to clean house first, right? This is outrageous....what a joke. I'll kick in $1.00 to pay for the original cost of the pants. I need 1099 others. Any takers?

If you ever wondered why the rest of the world calls us the ugly Americans, this is just another example of how ugly we have become. Perhaps a real good look in the mirror before we proceed might just restore some of the class we have been so quick to distance ourselves from.

I find it absolutely appalling that this man should continue to practice law and certainly hope that there is some justice in the fact that he be quickly revoked of any "power" he may have. To the gentlemen to who have this man's career in their hands, to keep him in power is to do an extreme diservice to your profession. That he feels he has been wronged is one thing. And to be upset is understandable. But to be reasonable is also understandable, and expected. Any sane person in their right mind would take 12 grand for a pair of pants! And his divorce decree is just absolutely not to be believed. Women of America - DO NOT MARRY THIS OUT OF CONTROL NIT WIT!! And to everyone else, just thank heavens that this guy doesn't own a car - can you imagine getting into a car accident with him? And if you do (while he's in one of his ridiculously priced rental cars) get in an accident with him and it's HIS fault, take him to the cleaners!! Take every last dime this guy has and keep him in and out of litigation for the rest of his natural born life, because he deserves the best of our world has to offer. To come accross someone just like himself. Now that would be justice.

Hey Stan343 writes "Please! Come on folks! This is total BS. Republicans supporting tort reform are behind this act and this story. This is an insult to our Intelligence."

2 questions: wat are you smoking and where can i get some??

Otto--

If your telling me that's not a possibility then please pass the bong bro! This story is absolutely absurd! It's nothing but Republican propaganda.....Help big business while screwing the little people! Tort reform isn't for me, you, small business owners and even our great doctors. It's all about Ford, Firestone, Exxon, Wal-Mart and GM. The list goes on and on. Tort reform is 99.9% for big business. So they can screw people and not have to pay the price. So, that's the real issue....not someone sueing for 65 million over a lost pair of pants. Use your brain!

What a sad day when a judge in this country is doing this kind of thing. We put people in jail for running scams and taking advantage of people...in this situation we have him as a judge. I would be first to say that the Chung's should replace the pair of pants, shake hands and go on their way but to throw out a number of $65 million dollars is absolutly ridiculous. I have also read thru Pearson's divorce paperwork and my best wishes go out to his ex-wife, I hope that she is now able to get on with her life. I hope that the Chung's are able to get thru this with the help of people like us that have a heart or have lost a pair of pants at the cleaners at one point or another in our lives and have moved on! What a pathetic excuse of a human being!!

Is this the true american dream??? Make money off of people who works hard to pay for their kids to go to collge, so they can be a lawyer and maybe someday become a JUDGE??? They pay taxes so that U.S can hire/select judges so they can make the right decisions for the people??? WTF.... They even offered him atrocisou amount of $12,000 so he shuts and stop whining about his $45 pants... Hs is a MORON, I repeat he is a MORON!!! This judge should be removed from his chair and striped off of his title. He is not a judge that I want to make a righteous decisions for Hard working Americans, I do not think anyone wants that... This is probably the first time he ever sued for $65 milion dollars but if this was a real case in his court he would have thrown it out because THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! What a waste of tax payers money and our judicial systems time!!! With this much time and money spenc on this case we could have convicted another murderers, rapists, gangbangers, white collar criminals etc. DC judicial system should convict him for an EXTORTION!!!

"OMIGOD! Another ratification of my addage, "Republicans Own The Best Judges Money Can Buy". "

O.K., he's up for renewal of a 10-year appointment, lylenews. You don't even have to take off your shoes to do the math on this one. Who was in power when he was appointed? That's right, this conspiracy theory probably has a (D) in it, so get your antagonists right.

Rest assured, if that claim was valid, it would have been made by the press.

Disbar this guy. He's clearly got waaay too much time on his hands. What a disgrace.

Surprised no one has gone to the potential racial angle here. Pearson is African American and before being a judge, worked for a legal aid society. Certainly the kind of fellow who should side with the little guy. But maybe there is some resentment over Korean immigrants "moving in and doing better?"

If I worked hard for years and finally managed to become a small business owner, then judge Pearson did this to me, I'd be pushed over the edge and attempt to take away his life. They are just dry cleaning business people. They aren't multinational corporations executives. Pearson represents how flawed America's judicial system is.

Someone has to make a stand against these stupid law suits. We, as decent human beings, cannot allow Pearson to destroy their lives.

Stan343-

So "your" [learn English, it's "you're" when you want to say "you are"] saying this whole thing is a huge scam concocted by some sort of Republican operative group? Wow. And your proof for this is what? The judge is real, the store is real, they've been in court already. Just how far does this conspiracy go?

let me try this....YOU"RE a sheep! I think I got it now. Thanks for the help with that. You believe what they want you to believe. So, by all means open up and get ready for the spoon feeding. You're such a sheep and don't even know it. I feel sorry for people like you.

I don't think it's a bad thing to question what we get on the news. Try it sometime.

This story will inevitably lead to more discussion about tort reform. Sorry for using big words. I'll slow down a little. The media will make this about tort reform. The momentum is already building. Watch and see.

Congratulations Mr. Pearson!!!!
Now you are famous.^^

I guess Chung's family will become a millionare.
Congratulations!

make sure to contact the officials who are trying to get this guy to be a judge for another 10 years. He would obviously be a horrible horrible judge.

Jim in DC, try and read a bit more closely. They found the pants that were lost, and tried to return them , but he wouldn't take them back. They did NOT simply refuse to compensate him.

People are greedy, he is a byproduct of the system.

Here is some very interesting reading from a court document regarding Judge Pearson's divorce. Of interest is his persistent claim that he be awarded spousal support and his then wife's claim that he did not meet conditions of reconcilliation such as channging his "... controlling behavior, and becoming financially responsible."

I hope no one does not cross the line of human being diginity, no one has any right to destroy other lives for the pants.

It is time to think about the word of normal. People gave the power to protect weak people ~

Honestly I first was outraged when I read this but after digging further and finding out they lost two of his pants it made me remember the time I had a bad experience with a Dry cleaners. They washed 5, expensive & only worn once shirts of mine in a laundry machine and shrunk them all. I was so pissed. But never was I racially motivated or even upset enough to bring them to court. Still what happened was wrong. So I must admit that to some degree it makes me happy to see all the other dry cleaning services forced to take notice that some of us are willing to take the time out to hold them accountable for their actions But 65 Million Is too much. The only fair thing that can be done at this point IMO is that the judge not get another dime and the dry cleaners be reimbursed for legal fees.

Send the crazy judge to the looney house and throw away the keys!

I am surprised the judge that has this lawsuit on his docket didn't dismiss this
as frivolous. There are probably thousands
of such abuses of the legal system going on
and it is high time that legal reform is needed to stop them. The former U.S. VP Don
Quale was right on abuse of the court system by 70.000 lawyers, and Shakespeare was right when he said Let's Kill all Lawyers. Egyptian King Farouk once
in a poker game told a player who thought
he won the round with 4 jacks: I have 3 kings, and I am a king myself. That makes it 4 kings for me. I won this round! This is the classic case that proves that our saying Nobody is Above the Law is an
abberation, and that power corrupts as much
today as it did during the past century. It is disgusting to think that we go out of
our country, spend billions and lose thousands of our young men to democratic ideals, only to see injustice and predatory corrupt practices flourish here in our home. Nikos Retsos, academic.

How did a nutjob like this get to be a judge over people?
Can you imagine the justice hes dispensing?
frightening

What a shame that just when we had such high hopes for the new Fenty administration to help curb crime in the District it turns out a member of his own administration is attempting to commit the biggest theft in the history of the city with a ridiculous and frivolous $65 mil law suit against what seems to be an honest, hard working, legal immigrant.

Imagine a poker night with George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Karl Rove and Judge Pearson at the table....Interesting!

Just be glad that this story didn't take place in Syracuse, NY. There the story wouldn't have made the news or even raised an eyebrow. Normal judicial behavior.

Who cares if he is a Dem. or Rep. He is just a sad human being. He will be judged in the end, and being a Dem or Rep does not matter to that Judge.

He should be disbarred and fined.

Roy L. Pearson Jr is SOB!!!!!!!!!!!

He's a typical Democrat and it is important, very important

This is one of the reasons that black Americans get a bad name. This individual who is Black and abusing it because of a pair of pants. If this so-called Black Judge had any respect at all, he would have already accepted the ridiculous amounts offered by this South Korean owners to rid of this embarrassing suit. I am willing to bet that their business has not been hurt because of this exposure. HELLO WASHINGTON, THIS JUDGE NEEDS TO BE DISBARRED FOR HIS IGNORANCE AS AN INTELLECT!

Disbar him and make him pay legal fees for the defendants, plus lost wages.

Pathetic to take a nice suit to a cleaner for alteration rather than to a real tailor (like Joe S on 19th).

I have lost some jackets and pants to various accidents, some caused by others. Now I just realize how abnormal I must have been for not having had the same mental anguish as this one Roy Pearson Jr who sues for $65 M.

Perhaps I should check in with a shrink.

The Chungs should countersue this sorry-excuse-for-a human-being-aka-Roy Pearson for all the financial and emotional grief he has brought onto them for the past several years. And I think THAT amount should be in excess of $65 million.

amazing how the ridiculous left has made this a political issue....by the way, the judge is black and democrat, as if it matters...where are jesse jackson and al sharpton on this obvious abuse of power and seemingly racist case...there is absolutely no excuse or rationalization for this kind of behavior...pearson must be removed from the bench...

Judges wonder why defendants stalk & shoot them... and lawyers wonder why so many jokes are about them -- THIS STORY IS WHY!

This judge/lawyer should be filled with shame for such greedy, grubby, anti-AMERICAN-ism.

These filthy frivilous lawsuits are not the freedoms our past founders and current freedom fighters sacrificed for!!!

Is this this same guy who sued his ex-wife for spousal support and attorney fees?
http://www.courts.state.va.us/opinions/opncavwp/0561044.pdf

...glad I live in Canada

This is almost as shcoking as there being a (shock) madame in our nations capital. However, this may take the cake in regards to frivoulous law suits. The next thing you know somebody might sue a restaurant for their coffee being too hot.

The justice system in this country is missing something extremely important "Common Sense".
This lawsuit should be immediately thrown out of court. One more thing WAKE UP and GROW UP.

Is there going to be a counter suit? The Chungs should pursue this ideal seriously. I'm sure their pain and suffering is many times more than Roy Pighead, I mean Pearson.

I LIKE THAT PREVIOUS STATEMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD PIGFACE, PIGBRAIN. I SHOULD STOP HERE I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY.

Dear Judge Roy L. Pearson Jr,

Why did I even this dear to you? You're a pathetic low life SOB trying ruin a family's life, dreams, hopes and future. Ridiculous...

Exile the Judge to North Korea.

I wonder... If a Asian (or White) judge sued a Black owner of a Dry Cleaners for $65 million over a lost pair of pants.... How long would it take Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and their entourage of TV cameras to show up and decry this "racist conspiracy"? They would be there in time for the 5:00 o'clock news!

Ethan, great catch! This is almost more interesting than the original article. This guy would sue his own mother for emotional damages, just to show he's a big fancy lawyer who has power over other people.

http://www.courts.state.va.us/opinions/opncavwp/0561044.pdf

Typical of a black democrat. Jessie and Al would be proud. What an ass!

I think the Chungs are met most Americans worst nightmaire.I can feel their horror and helpless feeling during last two years.
I wish everything go to fine and they can live peaceful regular life.

why is he only suing for $65mil? They lost the man's pants...what a travesty. He should have sued for at least a billion.

Has anyone considered that he may be racist and/or biased against immigrants?
I'm sure if the dry cleaners were white and nth-generation Americans, I'm sure he would have just said "Buy me a new suit and we'll call it even".
Jumping a mile off the subject - I'm sure he must be related to a now-disbarred lawyer in ND by the name of Lester Swanson... (I don't know what he did that was so bad - but when he was the judge for Bottineau County, when it was time for the voters to vote whether to retain him, the ND Bar Association as a whole took the rare step of advising voters NOT to retain Swanson).
Back to the subject, there needs to be a MUCH more expedient process of removing lawyers and judges who grossly and flagrantly abuse their power.

This article was covered in the European news as well!
We proudly present : The United States of America, the only oountry in the world with a legal system run by fools!
Dear American friends, we are very willing to give judge Pearson a free stay at a nice European Mental Institution!

He probably never wore pants under his robe, anyway.

If Pearson wanted to grab headlines with his lawsuit, he succeeded, but he shouldn't be allowed to destroy the lives of two hard-working people.

I hope their is a lawyer out their who will come to the aid of the Chungs and sue his a$$ for the mental suffering he has caused them.

This man is a pervert. He is perverting justice and needs to be punished. If those over him do not take action against him, they should be punished also. Someone please help these poor people.

Of course the judge is a shill for the Republicans seeking tort reform. This much is obvious. The real truth is, however, that many people really do deserve large payments, and we should not bow to Bush et al., who want to put caps on how much a person can be compensated for wrongful injury. That capping is good for the rich, and bad for the poor, as the Republican lemma goes. Please people, use your common sense and see through this very transparent ploy. That judge is not worried about losing his position, he is smoking cigars right now in the backroom with his conservative/Republican buddies, who will reward him handsomely. This sort of low-level strategy reminds me of the *agitators* in LA -- who wants to bet me that they were Minutemen, wearing those bandana/masks. And the investigation will show that members of the police force were also in on it -- the strategy of the agitators using video cameras and then the police herding them back into the park to then start their melee is right out of the Mein Kampf playbook. Nothing is below these Republican/conservatives, and the tragedy is that you liberals are all too naive to even spot these things, so they continue to take advantage of you like a smart mouse with some dumb mice.

IF THIS JUDGE IS MENTAL SUFFERING, WHICH MEANS THAT ALL THE CASES HE HAVE BEEN HANDLING IS NULL. HE IS NOT CAPABLE HANDLING ANY CASE AND MAKING DECISION AS SOON AS HE STARTED TO SUFFER. WHY IS HE CONTINUE SEAT ON THE PANEL. LET GET U.S. ATTORNEY GONZALES FIRE THIS SICK PERSON AND HAVE BUSH TAPS HIS PHONE TOO.

How sad that a man on the bench would be so vindictiveas to ruin the lives of these people. It is cruel & racist.

How many of you remember how during the Gore/Bush election these Republican conservatives actually sent into Florida a busload of out-of-state Republican conservative hoodlums (the only kind) who posed as outraged citizens, invading one of the precinct counting houses by storm, raising so much havoc and being so intimidating that the perturbed officials actually closed down the count there. Remember? And look at the legacy that event spawned -- eight long years of war and a downard spiral with *leaders* ike Bush, Rove, Cheney and the torturer Gonzalez at the helm. There is an old Who song, *We Won't be fooled again!* But where are the Who and their kin today? The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind. Blowin in the wind.

I've heard about ridiculous law suites before but they were from regular people. Here, a judge is doing thing like this is beyond my imagination.

Like thousands of good citizen out there, I wonder if there is justice!

Someone send this idiot judge to France...

This judge needs to be fired and disbarred. What a freaking moron. We really need to clean up our judicial system and get rid of judges like this. Roy Pearson get a life!!!! Better yet leave this country, and go to North Korea. I will pay for your ticket.

Pearson, thanks for showing how great our law system is! You certainly have set a good example.

Something about this story smells fishy. It has the over the top type of meme that compels media to pick up the story and repeat it everywhere. "The outrage!" "Disbar this Judge!" This sounds like it came right from the office of Karl Rove. Tort reform. The hands of businesses are tied by litigation and regulation. Activist judges overstepping their reach. Come on people. Let's cast a more cynical eye on this one. Let's stop being sheeple.

Proud of the country but not the people;
Zip our pants but feel ashamed of our judge.

- A verse written by the late Roosevelt from the grave dedicated for the judge who earns the Man of the Pants title -

A judge who pairs his thinking to that of a hustler is a hustler himself. A man who measures up against the millimeters of his pants knows his size. I am afraid to say just that.

- An insert from Ronald Reagan's diary -

God help McDonalds should they sell this guy a cup of coffee

This clown is not worth all the attention. He failed as a real judge, he failed as an attorney, and now he failed as a human being. He tried to show how big and important he wis and failed at that also. hopefully the Chungs have a grown son who can find this little sh*t and kick his ass all over several blocks and that will be the end of it.

This ridiculous numbers are seen every where, specially when they are suing Physicians and Hospitals, Unfortunately nobody could put a federal cap on these numbers. It,s a shame

If he is suffered this much emotionally he doesn't fit the profile to JUDGE

This thief has wasted court resources and generally abused the system, and is not fit to judge which day of the week it is.

It is people like R. Pearson who need to make reparations to the courts, us - his employers, and most especially, those hard-working people from whom he has stolen so much.

johnnormansp and lack of "reason", are you kidding me????hopefully, medical science will discover a cure for your degenerative brain disorders...this case has been dragging on for two years with no fanfare...it's a bit of a stretch to think those evil republicans, on the hill, could sway a black democratic judge to advance their agenda...this man is simply a petty, racist, miscreant who chose to take his venom out on a hard working immigrant family...as for you, you need some serious meds to quell your paranoid dillusions...

First off: To Walt235.....MORON! They're not from Africa...they're asian!! There's a difference. It's people like you who give the whites a bad name!!! Please remove your head from your backside!!! Now, to Pearson Jr...YOU ARE A HUGE DISGRACE TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE AND CURRENTLY ARE SERVING TO DEFEND THIS COUNTRY AND OUR FLAG!!! YOU ARE AN EMBARRASMENT TO ALL AMERICANS, AND YOU SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE. YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN AN EDUCATED, SPOILED ROTTEN IDIOT, AND KUDOS TO YOUR EX WIFE FOR HAVING ENOUGH SENSE TO LEAVE YOU!!!!

Wow! Listening to your voices; make me proud to be American! Unite and make America a better place.

Oh, and incidentally, Jr. My grandfather did not go through two wars as a front lineman for this country to defend a whiney little sniveling snot like you. I wish he were alive today. He'd show you the meaning of justice!!!!

Judge (can you say that with a straight face?) Roy Pearson needs to be sued very quickly for BREACH OF CONTRACT / FAILURE TO PERFORM /AND FRAUD, based on the following promises made in the Mission Statement of his office:
"The mission of the District of Columbia Courts is to protect rights and liberties, uphold and interpret the law, and resolve disputes peacefully, fairly and effectively in the Nation's Capital."

Oh hey Jr. Everyone else in this room with me says "BRING THAT ATTITUDE TO MILWAUKEE LITTLE MAN! WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO WEAR YOUR PANTS LIKE A REAL MAN!!!"

And you wonder why non-americans begin to believe americans of to day are another human breed??
Violence and stupidity and greed, lies and frauds - everywhere, yes
but this level ...? Causing suffering all over the world, solution to all problems: guns and death
(regards from somewhere in Europe)

the best thing would be to remove this person from the bench. it is clear this man is not fit to dispense justice. his ego is to big.

This judge is the living embodiment of that old insult: pant-load.

I read that they're going to court again in June. Anyone have any idea where so we can stand outside and protest/yell obsenities at him?

The man should be disbarred for abusing the system. To create this kind of expense, unnecessarily, to hard working people is inexcusable. Disbar him and let him get a real job, or better yet, work in a dry cleaners in the summertime heat.
Arrogant bastard.

Is there an element of racism and revenge on the part of the judge in seeking such high damages from a hard working nasian couple?

Where's Al Sharpton when we need him.

May God have mercy on this judge's unrepentant soul.

Bah, I mean, losing your suit pants and all can be pretty awful, but how did he get $65 million? People got about 2-5 million a piece for having a heart attack on Vioxx- are lost pants really so much more devastating than an untimely heart attack? Sure you deserve more than your pants were worth- the guy's just rude for turning down 10k.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Yikes!

Anyone in the life of a malignant narcissist is in a very scary predicament. A narcissist will not leave you alone till they have bled every last possible drop from your exsanguinated corpse. Their delusions of grandiosity coupled with their incredible sense of intitlement make them devoid of empathy towards others. This guy will totally believe he is entitled to these demands -- because he is special.

It can be hell getting rid of a narcissist, especially if you have ever tried to appease them in any way. Often people will do this, hoping they will just go away. But the narcissist always feels entitled to more. Always.

It's hard to believe this guy got appointed because he must have a trail of shaterred lives in his wake. This will not be his first act of outrageousness.

We as the American People need to haunt this so-called judge into the ground, and bounce him back to whatever rock he used to live under.

Roy Pearson is not a true American. He is a disgrace to the judicial system, and to the body of law.

Roy Pearson's name as a traitor to the judicial system should be plastered all over Washington D.C. Let the People know that he needs to be impeached as a judge if he is reappointed. In the meantime, keep his name public. Post his poor image all over Washington and anywhere else in the country.

Do not let this poor model of America judiciary be allowed to remain on the bench. The People and the Country will be better served once he is out of office.

It's a well-known fact that many blacks don't like ghosts, snakes, and Asians (and not necessarily in that order).

A class action lawsuit:

Citizens of the U.S.A. against frivolous law suits vs. Judge Roy L. Pearson Jr.

Are you in?

Shame on you, Northwestern Univ Law school, you trained such a student of law!

Shame on you, the panel of D.C. officials considering his reappointment!

Shame on you, America!

I would leave race out of this altogether. It doesn't matter if Roy Pearson is African American, and it doesn't matter if the Chungs are Asian immigrants.

It's ridiculous to the point that I have to think:
a- Roy Pearson is a mental case
b- He has a hidden agenda to make news? noise? personal vendetta against the Chungs?

He ruins whatever little hope left for his career, which seemed to falter before this current job. And he went after his ex-wife for other frivolous stuffs too. What a basket case.

Remove this pig! Put him behind bars for this disgrace he did to this country!

this is bush's america now, they better look out or they too will be locked up for 5 years without a reason. justice? we don't need no stinking justice.

Where is the Rainbow Coalition defending the rights of the oppressed. Oh, there are no corporations to fleece.

If Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton had any honor they would step up, intervene and stop this.

What honor is there in this? The entire suit cost less than 1000th of his yearly salary. Think about that, how much would that be out of your pocket.

Tyrone "the boss" Butler should do something. Step up to the plate and be a man, make this mockery of our society go away and make him apologize.

The Judge or should I say idiot. Needs his brain zapped with common sense. If this is going to trial I would like to dare the Washington Post to cover it as a FRONT PAGE story, that is the LEAST they could do to vindicate these poor folk from an abuser of the system.

This is righteous!

So let me see...Roy Pearson is a judge...a
person that is bestowed with the responsibility to make rational decisions on what is fair and just when the law has been broken. GOD HELP AMERICA!!! Anna Nicole Smith marries a senile 89 year old billionaire and the case is still pending,
a person spills hot coffee from McDonald's on their self and win a settlement. A criminal attempting to break and enter falls through the roof and gets awarded a settlement. Only in America...GOD HELP AMERICA...LAND OF THE FREE...LOADERS!!!

I can't understand why the Chungs do not have a clause of limited liability.

A library cannot charge more than its value for a lost book. An airline will not pay more than few 100's bucks for a piece of luggage.

No wonder Congress and the President don't want D.C. to become a state or have Congressional voting rights.

I am not a south korean; as a bystander, I found it ridiculous almost amusing watching what u idiotfacos get urself into.

while u idiotfacos are still trying to find out why

Cho Seung-hui, a 23-year-old undergraduate VA English major and South Korean national who coldly and calculatingly killed his 32 victims???

u idiotfacos use ur faking brain here -- Cho's parents are south korean dry cleaners too. probably all his life, Cho has witnessed and suffered u idiotfacos bullying like this piece of shxt mufo arceliker judege did to the poor korean couple...

u idiotfacos will have more and more like Cho's coming at u all over the world because of u idiotfacos r out of ur mind bullying the weak and the poor.

I read Roy Pearson's bio yesterday from OAH's website; however, looks like his name and bio have been removed from OAH's website. http://oah.dc.gov/oah/cwp/view,a,3,q,593365,oahNav_GID,1856,oahNav,|34118|,.asp

Looks like Roy has to look for a new job.

Forgive me if this has been posted already, got this info at http://blogs.kansascity.com/crime_scene/2007/05/judge_seeks_65_.html#comment-68517504

Here are some of Pearson's higher ups' contact info so people can complain about this flagrant abuse of legal power:

Chief Administrative Law Judge Tyrone Butler
D.C. Office of Administrative Hearings

Commissioner Robert Rigsby
Commissioner Henry Levine
Commissioner Peter Wilner

This judge obviously thinks he is the cat's meow, or the best thing that happened to the world since te latest prophet! What an ego.

Last time I met egos like this, they were attached to drug addicts and alcoholics. I don't know this judge (and do not want to, either!) so I will not say he is an addict or an alcoholic. (Hey he might sue me for $65m for saying this ...)

What an utter walking ego!

Judge, you bring shame to yourself and to the position you hold. RESIGN!

Chagri

"I have never been able to conceive how any rational being could propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others." -Thomas Jefferson

Clearly, this judge needs to be removed from his position and disbarred. Then he should be put into a burlap sack; along with a rabid monkey, a couple of cobras and three cats; that gets sewn shut and tossed into the ocean. Only this endeavor would be a complete waste of cobras, cats, sacks and rabid monkeys.

Does anyone really need a $1000 pair of pants anyway?

It's no wonder the people have lost faith in their government...

George Bush is planning to appoint Judge Roy L. Pearson Jr. to the Supreme Court, inasmuch as he espouses the same Judea/Christian values as Dubya, his family, and the entire White House staff.

I strongly believe that Judge Pearson has a case here, as long as people in the U.S. can feel free to interpret laws (e.g., the Washington customer protection law) AND signs literally.

After all, the Chungs were quite willing to clean Judge Pearson's pants because they were quite satisfied with the judge's service request, as this agreement is so protected by the sign "satisfaction guaranteed" that was posted in the store; otherwise, the Chungs wouldn't have accepted the service request if they didn't feel satisfied with Judge Pearson's request for dry cleaning his pair of pants.

Also, to my understanding, the Chungs did the service on the same day the service was requested; thus, they did not violate any agreement implicated by the sign "same day service" whatsoever. I seriously do not believe that Judge Pearson knew the difference between "same Day service" and "same day DELIVERY".

Is this the true american dream??? Make money off of people who works hard to pay for their kids to go to collge, so they can be a lawyer and maybe someday become a JUDGE??? They pay taxes so that U.S can hire/select judges so they can make the right decisions for the people??? WTF.... They even offered him atrocisou amount of $12,000 so he shuts and stop whining about his $45 pants... Hs is a MORON, I repeat he is a MORON!!! This judge should be removed from his chair and striped off of his title. He is not a judge that I want to make a righteous decisions for Hard working Americans, I do not think anyone wants that... This is probably the first time he ever sued for $65 milion dollars but if this was a real case in his court he would have thrown it out because THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! What a waste of tax payers money and our judicial systems time!!! With this much time and money spenc on this case we could have convicted another murderers, rapists, gangbangers, white collar criminals etc. DC judicial system should convict him for an EXTORTION!!!

You know...If it happens to my family. I will probably become like Cho seung hui.
I love my country because we can buy guns, lots of guns!!

This story really pisses me off!!!

Exactly how did this jackass BECOME a Judge?

That BLACK Judge is a RACIST who is picking on ASIANS because HE HATES ASIANS!!!!

That's why he's SUING!!! Because HE hate ASIANS!!!

And like ALL BLACK MEN are DOGS who just want to screw Asian women!!! That BLACK Judge probably wanted to screw the dry cleaner's wife and the dry cleaner's daughter. And he must have got turned down!!! He got caught with his PANTS down and claims that the dry cleaner's lost his PANTS!!!

That idiot BLACK judge should be DISBARRED!!! HE WILL NEVER LIVE THIS DOWN!!! HE WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE RIDICULOUS RACIST BLACK JUDGE WHO HATES ASIANS!!!!

That BLACK judge is NO JUDGE, He's a RACIST who wants to have a modern day lynching of ASIANS!!!!!

I did not know I had a girlfriend, thanks "MIMI" and "Jae's Girlfriend" thanks.

Thanks to post by "PestyPearson" I emailed DC Mayor Fenty. I hope they read my email, and make a decision or at least try something to get Judge Pearson off his chair/title of being a judge. I do have respect towards him, becoming a judge is not an easy thing to do, but I hope Judge Pearson is reading these blogs, this is what us AMERICANS think of you, case dismissed!!! Shame on you Judge Pearson!!! -Jae

George W. Bush must be licking his chops with Cheney by his side saying that we need another hot-headed BLACK boy to be a Justice like Roy Pearson on the U.S. Supreme Court. He is a perfect Dubya Bushie Black Boy will screw over anyone in his path.

This man is a big jerk. Does he know how he is making hisself look? I mean yeah they lost your pants but come on your a judge if you can afford to buy a rediculous pair of pants for 1000$ then you can afford to say I dont like your service reinburse and i will not come back here again. I think it is very low of him to put people in debt cause he is trying to make some point. I think this man should be disbarred or whatever and not be put in a position to make life changing decisons when he acts in a matter like this

I GOT A SUIT FOR ROY PEARSON, MADE JUST FOR HIM,,,,,,,,,,,,,,GOOD OLD FASHION TAR AND FEATHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In case Google removes this copy of the biography (sorry, no picture is included in the biography) from the Google Cache, this is what it says:

---

"Biography
Roy L. Pearson, Jr.
Administrative Law Judge

"Roy L. Pearson, Jr. began serving as an Administrative Law Judge for the District of Columbia Office of Administrative Hearings on May 2, 2005. Before his appointment he served for two years as a contract hearing examiner for the DC Office of Police Complaints.

"Judge Pearson was an attorney with the Neighborhood Legal Services Program ("NLSP") from July 1978 through July 2002; the last 13 years as the Assistant Director for Legal Operations. In the latter capacity Judge Pearson was responsible for training and supervising a legal and support staff of 20-60 persons in neighborhood offices throughout the District of Columbia. NLSP provides civil legal assistance to indigent residents of the District of Columbia. During his tenure with NLSP Judge Pearson obtained jury verdicts in excess of $1 million dollars in both the DC Superior Court and the US District Court for the District of Columbia. His landmark Superior Court verdict of $15.9 million for nine clients was settled, after partial reversal and remand, on confidential terms.

"Judge Pearson has been active in the Washington, DC community for decades and has served as counsel or board member for such organizations as the Columbia Heights Youth Club, the Fort Lincoln Civic Association, Inc., Black Seeds, Inc., the Washington Council of Lawyers, and the DC chapter of the National Council of Black Lawyers.

"Judge Pearson earned his undergraduate degree from Lake Forest College. He earned his JD from Northwestern University School of Law. After graduation, he was first a graduate teaching fellow, and then assistant director, of a clinical program at the Georgetown University School of Law. The clinical program provided legal research, policy analysis and drafting assistance to committees of the Council of the District of Columbia, to the Mayor, and to various District of Columbia agencies. Judge Pearson has been a member of the District of Columbia Bar since 1978, and of the US Supreme Court Bar since 1985."

---

This is what I would add to the biography:

Judge Pearson filed a $65 million lawsuit against a defenseless hardworking Korean couple who ran a mom-and-pop dry cleaner for losing his $1000 pants. The $1000 pants were found a day or two after Judge Pearson originally complained to the Korean dry cleaners. However, Judge Pearson unfairly refused to take back his pants. Judge Pearson lost all credibility because of his actions and helped to perpetuate the racial tension between Asians and Blacks in the predominately black Washington D.C. urban area. Judge Pearson no longer wears pants, or at least no longer wears the $1000 pants that were found and that he refused to reclaim and therefore wasted $1000 by no longer having the pants. Judge Pearson is now popularly known as the "Sponge-Roy-No-Pants" judge. Rumor has it that the judge will become an animated foolish character who refuses to wear pants on a new "Sponge-Roy-No-Pants" cartoon show on the Cartoon Network channel.

Let him be. He wasn't smart enough to go to an Ivy League undergrad/law school. He's probably just really bitter that Asian kids beat him into Yale and Harvard Law School and that he now has some low-paying job.

"Sponge-Roy-No-Pants"... I love it!

send him on down here to me..............

Pearson better start looking for a job doing something he is better "suited" for. I suggest he open a store called "Pearson's Pants". Think of all the free advertizing he has. Members of the KKK are not the only racist dirt bags hiding under robes!

what seems most absurd about this whole episode is the fact that this whackjob hasn't had his case thrown out yet. As someone who is supposed to be a representative of the people and the laws which protect our society, he should be laughed out of his job. This is a shameful abuse of the system and taxpayer money, which goes down the drain every minute that this is allowed to progress.

Hey - want to email the government office responsible for employing this joke of a judge?

http://app.dc.gov/apps/about.asp?page=atd&type=dsf&referrer=[$DSF_SERVER_NAME$]&agency_id=1063

Link will take you to an email submission site - let them know how you feel! Especially since this guy is up for review for contract extension

Perhaps he needs to sue for such a large amount because he displays an inordinate amount of mental suffering

C'mon folks, of course the judge is not serious -- the $15,000 every weekend to rent a car is a dead giveaway -- it is a joke. Of course the judge is a shill for the Republicans seeking tort reform. This much is obvious. The real truth is, however, that many people really do deserve large payments, and we should not bow to Bush et al., who want to put caps on how much a person can be compensated for wrongful injury. That capping is good for the rich, and bad for the poor, as the Republican lemma goes. Please people, use your common sense and see through this very transparent ploy. That judge is not worried about losing his position, he is smoking cigars right now in the backroom with his conservative/Republican buddies, who will reward him handsomely. This sort of low-level strategy reminds me of the *agitators* in LA -- who wants to bet me that they were Minutemen, wearing those bandana/masks. And the investigation will show that members of the police force were also in on it -- the strategy of the agitators using video cameras and then the police herding them back into the park to then start their melee is right out of the Mein Kampf playbook. Nothing is below these Republican/conservatives, and the tragedy is that you liberals are all too naive to even spot these things, so they continue to take advantage of you like a smart mouse with some dumb mice.
How many of you remember how during the Gore/Bush election these Republican conservatives actually sent into Florida a busload of out-of-state Republican conservative hoodlums (the only kind) who posed as outraged citizens, invading one of the precinct counting houses by storm, raising so much havoc and being so intimidating that the perturbed officials actually closed down the count there. Remember? And look at the legacy that event spawned -- eight long years of war and a downard spiral with *leaders* ike Bush, Rove, Cheney and the torturer Gonzalez at the helm. There is an old Who song, *We Won't be fooled again!* But where are the Who and their kin today? The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind. Blowin in the wind.

Folks, it is a joke. Wake up. He got you going, didn't he? Whether Democrat or Republican, black or white, this judge is making an intentional statement to motivate the nation for tort reform, nothing more, nothing less.

So you are Korean and come to America to help your children have a better life. Your work was better and paid more in Korea, but you do this anyway, for the children. Along comes this PIG and acts out his personal problems with the weak as his target. I am not surprised that they are thinking about returning to Korea, I just wish they could take this so called judge with them.

Dear Mr. Chung!
please Counter sue the judge and get some million dollars from him.!!!
And, put him in the jail rest of his life!

Hey, we are the crazy ones here in LA! Kick him off the bench and teach him a lesson, pay back the owners double plus interest!!!!

Once again!

The judge is BLACK and a DEMOCRAT. So all you liberals stop complaining about him. You don't want to labeled racist do you?

And don't give me that crap about the dry cleaners being Korean. In America, BLACK OUTRAGE TRUMPS ASIAN OUTRAGE.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Chung,
Welcome to America. Now you know the truth about just how RACIST BLACKS CAN BE TOWARD YELLOW PEOPLE.

You'll also learn that BLACKS are America's FAVORITE racial minority group. They have been playing the GUILT and FEAR CARDS against the white majority for more than half a century. Unfortunately, more than one generation of Americans has grown up believing that BLACKS CAN DO NO WRONG and EVERYONE OWES BLACKS EVERYTHING. I guess that includes the $65 million dollars in your victimized state.

Hang in there, and don't be afraid to fight back against BLACK RACISM.

Forget that TORT REFORM NONSENSE.

Forget the REPUBLICAN vs. DEMOCRAT NONSENSE.

This very insecure BLACK judge is REALLY suing for such a BIG amount of money because he no longer has his $1,000 FANCY EXPENSIVE PANTS to cover up his TINY SHORTCOMINGS that he was sparsely blessed with down there.

This clearly IDIOT unqualified JUDGE who probably thinks he's so supremely qualified to be a JUDGE must be seriously mentally nutso in the head if he is suing for $65 MILLION for a pair of PANTS even if the the pants are $1,000 PANTS. That's NUTS!!! That's a case for INSANITY, INCOMPETENCY, where he has got to be put away for his own good and to PROTECT SOCIETY!!!!

NO REASONABLE MAN WOULD PICK ON WORKING PEOPLE THIS WAY. THIS IDIOT JUDGE IS PROBABLY THE STEREOTYPICAL BLACK DUDE WHO HATES ASIANS. THIS IDIOT JUDGE IS CERTAINLY NOT A REASONABLE MAN. THIS IDIOT JUDGE IS A NUT CASE WHO SHOULD BE PUT AWAY!

He has to be doing these INSANE things because he's so insecure that he has cover up for all of his SHORTCOMINGS by beating down on poor ASIANS who can't FIGHT BACK. He probably KICKS his dog at HOME if he ever had a DOG. He probably ABUSES everything. Look at his DIVORCE, it sounds like he's an ABUSER who has to ABUSE the weak because of his SHORTCOMINGS!!!

This BLACK Judge is ACTING SO WHITE using his lawyering skills. If he gets the MONEY, he'll go wild and buy all sorts of BLING and buy more $1,000 PANTS to cover up his shortcomings because he can't compete with the more endowed REAL MEN out there.

The SPONGE-ROY-NO-PANTS Judge!!!!!

He ain't got nothing down there!!!

LOL, ROTFL!!!!

I was shocked to hear this. I felt really really sorry for the couple. How in the world would someone like them pay huge amounts. And is this justice? Let us all reunite and kick the greedy ass.

If chung has $65 million..
why he is standing all day to lose pants, respectation, dreams, hopes,etc.
Get over yourself. Mr. Judge.
What a shame you are a judge.
What a shame. Did you really graduate and study laws? did you? What a shame that you
are an American.
Go to church and think about it.
A-hole.

Im moving back to korea! Let the blacks run the buisness's. GOOD LUCK AMERICA!

"So you are Korean and come to America to help your children have a better life. Your work was better and paid more in Korea, but you do this anyway, for the children. Along comes this PIG and acts out his personal problems with the weak as his target. I am not surprised that they are thinking about returning to Korea, I just wish they could take this so called judge with them."-STANLEY HOFFMAN"

how do you know that their pay was more and living was better????
Im sure most korean americans moved to america to have a better living due to the fact that it was hard in korea.

Having read all the previous postings here, I will mark my comments.
1. In regards to the suggestion put forth by "R.OBrien", you should be arrested and jailed for cruelty to animals, or perhaps you should be put in the bag with the judge.
2. In regards to the comments from "johnnormansp", I will take it from them that you have returned to using recreational drugs again. This is not a matter of party affiliation but a matter of common sense, something that 99% of the members of the legal profession lack.
3. I would suggest to "ALL PERSONS HAVING BUSSINESS" in the court of Judge Roy Pearson that they request an immediate reassignment to a different judge do to the clearly biased and prejudicial attitude of this judge and he obvious lack of common sense with which to interpret the law.

Wow! This is pathetic! People who become judges gets such a big ego that THEY think they are God! Well, I was a higher power (not necessarily God, but one of His assistants), I would not only have the judge removed from power and humiliated, but have his soul sent immediately to hell for punishment.

You judges are not God - only God is God!

Actually, I AM GOD! I hereby declare that all judges are hereby sentenced to immediate eternal damnation, who have and are abusing thier power! They think they are God, but I AM GOD! BOW YOU F***ING ASSES TO ME!

THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD BOW DOWN TO ME AS GOD!

The e-mail address for Pearson's employer, the Office of Administrative Hearings is: oah@dc.gov

What really would be justice is that if the judicial system found Judge Pearson insane, and ordered him to eat 65.000,000
pieces of shredded pants. I would pay to watch!

And this guy is supposed to rule over others? ... freightening ... his goal was to destroy lives not money ... with that intent he ought to have his life destroyed by throwing him off of bench ... just think of the defense attorneys that have to go in front of him ... can you say appeal all the way. There is a high probability that he is racist ... get him out now!

This pathetic excuse for a judge , let alone a human being(Roy Pearson Jr), has redefined the word "Shame". Do you realize what kind of public rage and humiliation Pearson is inflicting for the USA overseas? Just check out the major newspapers in Asia, Europe, and the Middle-East. It is NOT a pretty picture. This man is a judge, mind you, who symbolizes the American justice system in the eyes of the rest of the world. In this day and age when the United States simply cannot afford to make any more enemies, this imbecile is not helping our cause, not internationally, and certainly not for the people of DC.

IMPEACH this sorry-excuse-for-a human-being NOW! And sue HIM for $65 million for the irrepairable damage he has caused to the reputation of this great nation of ours. Let us show the world the true US justice system - that no-one, not even a judge, is above the law!

Is this guy actually a stealth proponent of massive tort reform? First, enrage every single person with any sense of common decency, even if you destroy the livelihood and dignity of an entirely innocent, hard-working family in the process.

Then, more people will be in favor of radical tort reform where businesses that have behaved in a stunningly negligent manner will be held even less accountable than they are, Ford Pinto style.

Now we can help the Chung's...

He is an idiot. The justice system is a joke. He should be disbarred.

The saddest part of this whole story is that this Pearson has set out, not to seek justice, but to DESTROY another human being. How sad for humankind.

Hate to say this, but if a man of this character can be appointed a judge, I can just imagine the character of the cohort of attorneys he is appointed from.

Judge Pearson needs to 1. GROW UP! 2. RESIGN!
'nuff said....

The solution is obvious.

After Judge Pearson's suit loses the court could award the Chungs all the lost earnings and lawyer fees and some pay and suffering causing Pearson to owe a substantial amount.

Pearson's case should not be equated with that of a person who has actually been harmed by corporate negligence.

This is about one wacko in a case that probably should have been dismissed early on and there is no proof that he will be reappointed.

I am surprised at someone at the Post following this manufactured gambit on such a non issue by the right wing noise machine.

If this indeed is a joke, as a few people have suggested, who is laughing?

Certainly not the Chungs.

How about the tax-payers? Nope.

All the enemies of the USA? Probably.

Pearson might have been laughing until the story got the national (and international) coverage, and everyone started throwing eggs at his face. The yolk's on you, Roy.

Roy, don't let all these comments get you down buddy. Persist, and follow through. I would like to dab my little hands on that gravy train that you're riding, cuz papa needs a new botox.

Roy, you's the man.

Others have suggested that this judge be removed from the bench. I was hesitant to suggest that in my previous posting as I never want to see a person lose their means of making a living. However during the day today I saw an ad on TV that "shouted" at me, "here is where this person would be right at home working". He would still be in the legal fie
