Response to the baseless allegations of Mr. Michael D. Foulks

Message: Lets get this record straight:
1) Wolfgang Weiss is dumb. A guy that owns his own business that moonlights part time as a driver. His business has been open at least 10 years and is doing well. He lends a hand to us drivers free or charge. Wow, what a bad guy.
2) Nathan is a terrible attorney. Green faced loss of a Chauffeurs for what must have been a very serious charge. I would believe revocation isn't an option for the courts for a minor infraction. Wouldn't you agree Mike? Green left with her license in tact with a minimal fine. This must have been the result of Nathans presence in the court room. Fat Boy Alpern agreed to a plea bargain rather than get embarrassed by Nathan. Nathan told Green to take it for two reasons A) Green might have been her own worst enemy. Some people do not know how to testify. or B) The hearing officer might have been pro city in all matters. Nathan is a terrible attorney for helping Green FOR FREE AND GETTING HER LICENSE REINSTATED.
Sorry to say this Nathan, attorneys charge 200 an hour to defend people with license revocations at stake. Your only offense is working too cheaply.
3) Weidersberg says Nathan is a terrible attorney as well. Weidersberg never used Nathans services. How would he know? I collected 10k BI and 1.5k PD for a case Nathan handeled for me years ago. Never saw a court room or gave a statement to the other party. Collected in 8 months. Wouldn't someone that Nathan represented know a little more than Steve Wiesdersberg?
End result: the only offense Nathan and Wolfgang are guilty of are working for FREE TO HELP US. Same for Enger and UTCC.
Mike, was the fact that Nathan and Wolfgang know the correct details of your felony record the reason for your bashing of them? Anyone with common sense can see this. It's too bad you don't have any!
We've been down this road before, "Fatlu Hall". You're an idiot, too.
What is Wolf Weiss "business" that has been "open for 10 years" and "doing well"?
The Center For Renters' Rights? That's also a non-profit. His wife is also involved with that.
If Ms. Green was so "helped" by Mr. Nathan, then why does she have such a dim view of the man?
Steve Wiedersberg is quite familiar with Mr. Nathan's "legal advice". Much more familiar than you are with the facts of all these matters, "Fatlu Hall".
Mr. Nathan and Mr. Weiss have shown time and time again that they either don't know what they are talking about with regards to my legal woes or they deliberately exagerrate or ignore the facts.
Mr. Enger and the UTCC have clearly expressed their intent to collect money from cabdrivers. They are only working a "one-year plan" to develop "credit" with people they hope to profit off of.
You do too, obviously.

Answers from Mr. Fatlu Hall
1) Not for profits pay the employees/board members fees and salaries. Didn't someone as well educated as yourself know this. Oh, sorry, you only have a ged.
2) Green wanted to "get off" without fines or penalty. This would be obvious since she ended up not getting her license revoked and only was given a minimal fine. Sometimes people aren't reasonable with expectations. This was the case here. At least it is obvious to a sane person. Why risk losing your C/L over a minimal fine. Nathan was right not to go to trial with Green.
3) Weidersberg knows more about Nathans work than I do? What kind of drugs are you taking man? I already told all that read here that I have used Nathan and gotten positive results. In fact more than once. While I'm on the soapbox, Nathan also passed me to another attorney once when I needed legal help that he wasn't an expert on. Nathan is a true good guy. Tell me how Weidersberg is familiar with Nathan when Nathan told you Weidersberg never hired him or even got "pro bono" work from him. And no, Pro bono isn't something sick.
4) The only guy I think is sick is the one with the felony record that included jail time and a 24 month mental health probation. Your day will come in November and I will be the one to report the results this time!
Denial is
a] an unconscious defense mechanism used to reduce anxiety by denying thoughts, feelings, or facts that are consciously intolerable;
b] a psychological defense mechanism in which confrontation with a personal problem or with reality is avoided by denying the existence of the problem or reality."
So, Mike, have you ever:
a] committed a felony?
b] confessed to a felony?
c] been convicted of a felony?
d] served time for a felony?
e] been on probation of any kind for a felony?
f[ tried to extort $125,000 out of your dysfunctional family?
g] threatened to kill anyone if they didn't pay off?
h] warn anyone to stay our of dark allies?
i] plead guilty to charges of a felony?
The downside of plea bargains:
The downside for the defense is that the accused is giving up the right to have 12 people hear all the evidence and test the prosecution's evidence against the defendant.
The downside for the community is that it doesn't get to have a process which attempts to get at the truth of what really happened in the case.
And, the plea bargaining system can be abused: It can extract guilty pleas from absolutely innocent people who plead guilty to charges they did not commit because they can't afford the risk of going to trial.
Law professor Stephen Schulhofer offers this general critique of the system: "The major problem with plea bargaining is that it forces the party into a situation where they have to take a guess about what the evidence is, about how strong the case might be, and they have to make that guess against the background of enormously severe penalties if you guess wrong."
So defendants, even if they have strong defenses, and even if they are innocent, in fact face enormous pressure to play the odds and to accept a plea. And the more likely they are to be innocent, and the more strong their defenses are, the bigger discount and the bigger benefits the prosecutor will offer them.
Eventually at some point it becomes so tempting that it might be irresistible, especially when the consequences of guessing wrong are disastrous.

Once, ok, maybe he was railroaded. This guy has been busted twice for this kind of stuff. Fool us once, fine. He didn't fool anyone the second time. This is why the judge gave a felony conviction, jail time, and felony mental health probation. I thought the amount demanded was 250k? Delusional, denial, multiple personalities, whatever. Just call it mental illness. The judge did. She even ordered and evaluation of D. Foulks mental fitness while he was waiting for trial.
The Prez of the CC-0 is related to the victim. He pled out due to the fact he knew his victim and also had inside knowledge from other family members that this victim wasn't going to drop the charges. If someone was railroaded a second time he/she would stand up and fight. This wasn't the case here. The Prez pulled his fat out of the fire with his guilty plea. He was sure to be burned to a crisp if he didn't. His public defender should have gotten an award for helping this guy avoid a year or so in the pen. Or perhaps avoiding a rubber room.
A sane person might surmise that the PD comitted a crime against the general public by getting this guy back out on the streets so quickly. Once Foulks was in jail he reverted back to his good behavior personality and realized a good deal when he saw it. He still might be under some sort of court imposed restrictions today if he didn't plead guilty to the crimes he had comitted and instead went to trial.
Multiple personality, delusional, denial, whatever other kind of mental illness you want to hang on this guy, he has displayed it all here on this forum. The dangerous ones seem to be able to go back into a so called "normal" person if needed. This illness makes Foulks a dangerous person. Should a person like this even be operating a public passenger vehicle for hire? How many really want his name tied to any drivers movement? Will the city leak this guy out when we get a full head of steam going in our movement to discredit us?
Daley was quick years ago after a drivers strike day to say the cab drivers don't belong to this city. He would be quick to say we're a bunch of hoods as well if we make him look bad. We need to make sure a correct vote is help this time. Mike needs to be in a rubber room, not pretending to represent us.
you just figured that out, Einstein?
anybody who bothers to answer to idiots like this must be pretty stupid.
