She Can Walk, er, Run! It's A Mircale!!!
Who said there aren't miracles in the world? This story proves that mircales can, and do, happen. Of course, the mircale in this case is the woman not being arrested before her moment of self-actualization took place. It's funny how something simple as being aressted by cops can bring about a mircale. I hope this woman makes good use of her legs in the future, such as "walking" to a job. Of couse, she'll get plenty of time to work them out in the prison gym.

Woman ditches wheelchair, flees police
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- A wheelchair-bound Los Angeles woman, who has repeatedly filed lawsuits over access for the disabled, got up and ran after police arrested her for fraud, authorities said Thursday.
Laura Lee Medley, 35, had sued in at least four California cities over injuries she claimed she sustained while trying to navigate her wheelchair before she was suspected of fraud.
Medley, who claimed to be paralyzed from a drunk driving accident, was tracked to Las Vegas where police there took her into custody and then, when she complained of medical issues, to a local hospital, Long Beach prosecutor Belinda Mayes said.
"She gets to the hospital and while she's waiting for an examination, she gets up from the chair and runs," Mayes said. "Somebody remarked, 'That's where the great miracle occurred.' "
Medley sprinted through the hospital corridors but was quickly apprehended by police and booked pending extradition to San Bernardino, California, where she is facing charges of filing false documents, attempted grand theft and insurance fraud.
Medley has sued the cities of Long Beach and South Pasadena and counties of San Bernardino and Riverside over various injuries she claimed she sustained in her wheelchair. She was also being sought on arrest warrants by the states of Oregon and Washington, Mayes said.

The Dumbest Lawsuit EVER!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it seem like, over the years, that Americans have become so....so stupid, that we feel that we have to sue for almost anything? And when I say "we", I should actually say "morons", because the guy in this story is just that.
As noted on ESPN.com, " A man who was denied a red nylon tote bag during a Mother's Day promotion at an Angels baseball game has filed a sex and age discrimination lawsuit against the team." OK, where to start; "he's" suing because he was denied permission to receive one of these "purses" because it was meant to be given to "women" on "Mother's Day".
Exactly what point are you trying to make with this lawsuit????? Honestly, what is your point? According to this moron "thousands of males and fans under age 18 are entitled to $4,000 in damages each because they were treated unequally at last May's promotion", yet, "Angel officials said Cohn was the only person who complained about the giveaway."
To make this whole silly lawsuit worse, he's a psychologist. Sounds like you're the one that needs a shrink. Really...you're the only person that complained about not getting your woman bag at this give away, yet, you feel compelled to drag the rest of us men into this mess by believing that we support you.
To placate this loser, the Angles sent "him four tote bags and a letter stating the team ran out of the item that day and had to order more." It's not like he didn't get a bag. Heck, the team went out their way to send him four. In response, his lawyer, who I feel might have earned his degree on the planet Simpleton, said "They claimed they didn't have any more bags, but my client said there was a mountain of bags stacked so high a show dog couldn't have jumped over them."
A SHOW DOG??? Ok, that it! Here's the scoop, idoits! The freakin' giveaway was for WOMEN on MOTHER'S DAY, not for LOONEY PSYCHOLOGIST WITH "ISSUES". Please do the rest of us normal people a HUGE, HUGE favor and continue with the law suit. In fact, take it to Judge Joe Brown or Judy Judy. I'd love to see either one of them grill you on nation tv. Losers!

Man denied bag says Angels discriminated
Associated Press
SANTA ANA, Calif. -- A man who was denied a red nylon tote bag during a Mother's Day promotion at an Angels baseball game has filed a sex and age discrimination lawsuit against the team.
The class action claim filed by Michael Cohn, a Los Angeles psychologist, alleges that thousands of males and fans under age 18 are entitled to $4,000 in damages each because they were treated unequally at last May's promotion. Women over 18 received the gifts.
Angel officials said Cohn was the only person who complained about the giveaway and that the team is proud of its promotions.
"Historically, we have tried to appeal on those special days that might be nationally noted holidays or special occasions," team spokesman Tim Mead said, adding he could not comment directly on the suit because he hadn't seen it. "We have tailored programs or giveaways accordingly."
The team responded to a complaint letter that Cohn wrote last June by sending him four tote bags and a letter stating the team "ran out of the item that day and had to order more."
"They claimed they didn't have any more bags, but my client said there was a mountain of bags stacked so high a show dog couldn't have jumped over them," said Alfred Rava, Cohn's San Diego-based attorney.
Cohn could not be reached for comment.
This weekend's Mother's Day promotion will offer tote bags to the first 25,000 fans over age 18, rather than cater specifically to women. Mead would not say whether the change was in response to Cohn's complaint.
Rava said the altered promotion still violates the civil rights of fans under age 18.
Cohn's suit names as defendants the Angels and the Corinthian Colleges, which sponsored the event through an affiliate.
