Quiet Riot
If you don’t live in New York or don’t read lower brow New York city newspapers, you probably haven’t heard of a man named John Clifford. Clifford rides the Long Island Railroad every day. Clifford does not like to hear other people talking on their cell phones. This isn’t really unique to Clifford, but Clifford takes it a step farther. He tells people to hang up, and when they don’t he hangs up for them. Somehow, despite 8 separate cases against him ranging from assault to harassment, he has been found innocent every time.[via link]
“It’s about time we brought some civility back to the Long Island Rail Road,” the 60-year-old cop-turned-lawyer had told the judge who found him innocent. “And if nobody can do it except an old ex-cop who wants to be left alone, so be it.”
