Wow, the silence is deafening. If April Gallop were serious she would sue her attorney's for malpractise. They should have never exposed her to that kind of risk.

Here's the sad thing; up until 9/11 she was serving her country in uniform and leading a productive life. Only later was she taken in by the 'theorists'. She's probably a good person on a basic level.
Richard Gage is another sad story. He basically gave up everything; job, family, home... to become essentially a travelling preacher, armed with the gospel of 9/11 truth. I suppose he gets a level of notoreity from his actions.

Gallop could very well be looking to land a payday, I really don't know. You all may belittle her and dismiss her story because this or that judge decided to do so, that's fine. Let's all just keep in mind that this woman is trying to expose the gov't in what would be the greatest scandal of human history by getting a judge, who is part of that gov't, to hear her case. Not just any case either, a case where the gov't has withheld evidence from the very beginning, evidence that could very well prove her case...or disprove it. However, instead of her case making it to court where evidence must be submitted, subpoenas compell witnesses to testify under threat of perjury, and a jury of average Americans decides what to believe...its a whole lot easier to just dismiss it out of hand. After all, what proof does she have? If she had evidence from inside the Pentagon, she'd have already been forced to turn it over, right? Does anyone believe that her opposition would just give it back to her? More than likely her case will hinge upon subpoena power to force others to speak about what happened. Those geniuses in gov't realize that if they don't allow her to get a case, she can never subpoena anyone and the whole damn mess doesn't get talked about.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter though. You same five guys have been dilligently defending the OS and GUM'T for years on this site. Its always the same old tired routine...at first it pisses you off, then it becomes amusing, and finally it just makes you want to go somewhere else. The bottom line is...9/11 is the greatest example of why gov'ts should not be trusted. Whether they failed to protect us through apathy and overconfidence, planned the entire thing out years in advance, or any degree of culpability in between...one thing is absolutely certain...they have not and will not tell us the truth. That means they have something to hide. What is the word used to describe someone who actively chooses to hide the truth? What word is used to describe someone who opposes another person?
In law, frivolous litigation is the practice of starting or carrying on law suits that, due to their lack of legal merit, have little to no chance of being won. The term does not include cases that may be lost due to other matters not related to legal merit. While colloquially, a person may term a law suit to be frivolous if he or she personally finds a claim to be absurd, in legal usage "frivolous litigation" consists of a claim or defense that is presented where the party (or the party's legal counsel) had reason to know that the claim or defense was manifestly insufficient or futile.

Of course they appealed it.
During discovery how could the defendants possibly submit evidence that has not been released? Obviously they can't.
There is no way to tell if the claims April made are frivolous or not until the evidence is reviewed, the evidence is not available as it is held by the government.

Are you kidding me? Is this how the trial should work:
Judge: "Will the Plaintiff state her complaint?"
April Gallop: "Yes your honor, the United States Governemnt is guilty for Conspiracy to Commit Mass Murder and guilty of mass murder for the thousands killed on Sept. 11, 2001. Further more, I would like to add that although I collected a settlement from American Airlines, I now beileve that the plane didn't hit the Pentagon where I sustained my injuries."
Judge: "Um, okay now... what evidence do you have to back this up?"
April Gallop: " I don't have any! The United States Government has is all!"
Judge: " huh?"
April Gallop: " Yeah, they do. There are thousands of us truthers that know this for a fact!"
JP.... how much are you donating to her to help her with the 15K she ows the courts?

She claims in her lawsuit that she walked out of the fiery hole the aircraft made in the front of the pentagon.

You need to learn about the law, my friend. You can't just walk into a court of law and accuse someone of conspiracy to commit mass murder, mass murder, etc WITHOUT EVIDENCE!

You said this lawsuit was about flight 77 hitting the pentagon. The defense has had their evidence confiscated. Your troll post of "how it should have gone" does not match your OP.

I can't argue with that!
Originally posted by budaruskieBut, you can invade another country and kill hundreds of thousands, confiscate billions in assets, and charge the whole damn thing to the American taxpayer on a cost-plus basis all-the-while sacrificing the families of those same taxpayers...can't you?
Oh yeah, and since I make less than half of what I made two years ago, I can't afford to help her or anyone else by donating money...which is worthless anyway.

Makes you wonder...

She'd presumably look like this if she was in an office hit by a bunker buster missile.
I mean, what a ridiculous comment. Truthers claim that a missile was used so as to be more penetrative and kill more people and you're using her apparent lack of injuries - although she did sustain some - as suspicious. And ignoring all the people who actually died. Do they look surprisingly good too?

Anybody know what's up with her clothing in that screencap? Is she in a blanket, or does she wear that to work in the pentagon, is her clothing burned or what?
