These fark threads.  Too accurate for sand people.

It's the Mail.  I no longer believe Florida exists.  Or that the Daily Mail could care enough about a chance to sneer at the colonials to care about the plight of Indians.

I wouldn't have put a deposit on a home until I was sure there weren't Trumpers next door. Nothing ruins a neighborhood like a Trumpkin.

Not sure the religion of the family (or why it should matter) but I think it's most likely they are Sikhs.  I live in an area with a high population of Sikhs, and have found them to largely be awesome.

Obviously, the neighbors here are scared of Mooslims.  The funny thing is, the Christian religion has much in common with Islam than Sikhs or HIndus.

Since the racist neighbors were familiar enough with the sellers to run over and start biatching at them, I'd say the sellers knew that the situation would be bad for anyone moving in who isn't lily-white. But oh they suffered "damages" because of the Indian family pulling away? What assholes...next time warn people you have a shiathead racist neighbor. That entire neighborhood is a cesspit.

And, it'll be tricky to make a legal claim stick against the actual responsible parties...the racists.  Dunno Florida law, but lots of states don't have any duty to disclose asshole neighbors.

A creative attorney might go after the reduction in property/tortious interference in contract angles, but it's an expensive long shot.

Who knows, maybe some new case law will come out it at the end of the day...

Unlikely this would matter. People who hate, simply see the skin color and go off, because they have zero interest in learning anything about such matters. I have seen that behavior first-hand.

Ali could not even bring himself to describe the hatred spewed at him as he stood with his bewildered family and their realtor, who called 9/11 and asked if it constituted as a hate crime.

They aren't Sikh, they don't have Sikh turbans in the article pics. It seems to be the saris that the neighbors saw and freaked out over.

In any case, I'm glad my sister lives in a part of Florida that's sufficiently racially mixed that they don't have to deal with asshole neighbors freaking out over the inlaws visiting from India wearing traditional clothes.

Does it really matter at this point?  People like this are what are fueling the shiatstorm that is happening right now, troll or not.  People like this are the reason why this family was not able to buy the house as in the fine article.  And yet they are given their safe spaces to continue spewing their hate nonsense.  As this goes on, how long before fark gets lanes a hate friendly zone?

Nothing more worse than a racist than an ignorant racist.

I get to go all over driving a truck and see folks from all walks of life. I see plenty of truck drivers from different countries, different colors, different ethnic backgrounds. I was in a truck stop getting a bite to eat. In front of me was a young Indian wearing his traditional garb. I was in Alabama and sure enough I heard someone remark "raghead" I told the driver standing next to me it was so farking stupid people were ignorant of ethnic backgrounds. The Indian man overheard me turned around and thanked me for knowing the difference. He was actually pretty funny about it. He said something about the Sikh faith and he sure as hell wouldn't deliberately dress like an ethnic group despised by people for fun. He added besides all that he could never be Muslim because he liked bacon too much.

Davis Island is Tampa's most exclusive and expensive area. Derek Jeter is a resident. I'm sure several Bucs are, too. So any kind of house on there is pushing half a mil.

Best part:
Kaderbhai Ali Asgar and his wife run an engineering firm, A-1 Engineering & Consultants, out of their current home, which is elsewhere on Davis Islands, according to state business records.

the island is 100 yards off downtown Tampa & has 5Kish people. This ain't Manhattan.

I quit smoking quite a few years back.  Oddly enough, bourbon is my anti-tobacco.

Not the sellers' fault.

They cannot discriminate on the sale of their house. Saying things like, "you may not feel welcome in the neighborhood" would result in a massive lawsuit.

Also, I think based on the name that the family is probably Muslim, not Sikh or Hindu. Not that it makes a huge difference in what's going on.

Every state has different disclosure laws, but there is nothing the sellers could have done.

Racist asshole.

I've had him Farkied as that for a while (in fascist red, of course).

We should come up with a consistent color code, i use purple.


I use 'green 3' for the favorites I like to read, yellow for brewers (for the beer threads) and a light red for vintners.

I use 'red 1' for the racists and 'grey 1' for the threadsh*tters. I have removed some people from the gray 1 category on occasion if they no longer fit the criteria or I realize I was wrong about them.

Dunno know about FL, but where I am you put a clause in the contract in that says it can be voided after review by your lawyer.  Not open ended,I think it is after the appraisal/inspection, but gives you an out.

Of course, this is the daily fail and odds are the entire incident did not happen.

Except now the house is locked up by court proceedings and won't be sold again until that is resolved. Suing the sellers was the right thing to do. The sellers can say they have real damages because the buyers didn't close. Keeping the deposit covered those damages making them whole again. Taking that deposit back away from them will restore those damages. What then should happen is that they sue the neighbors since they are the true cause of their damages, not buyers.

Then, they should start doing what they should have done from the get-go. These people apparently don't like living next these racist assholes and are trying to get out. They should market it to other racists as being the raciest place that ever did race. A biggot's dream. Maybe spread some flyers around the FDP headquarters to catch some soon to be retiring DNC fatcats.

2) The picture of the lawyer doesn't reverse search to the website for a law office.
3) The picture of the victim says copyright by the local news station, but I couldn't find this story on the local stations website.
