Veteran evicted over alleged terroristic threats files suit

MARLTON, N.J. (AP) -- An 82-year-old World War II veteran has sued his former landlords after he was evicted from an apartment building for allegedly making terroristic threats.

The dispute centers on notes Martin Dubin posted in the lobby of his Cherry Hill apartment building last April. Dubin said he put up the notes in an attempt to track down the person who hit his car in the apartment parking lot and drove off.

Dubin's letter of lease termination said the notes contained phrases like, "I will hunt you down like Saddam Hussein," and "I will get you -- just like Bush will win with Saddam Hussein."

Dubin was evicted in April, and has since moved to Marlton. He filed suit in Superior Court in Camden County over the summer seeking unspecified damages and claiming defamation of character, infliction of emotional distress and violations of landlord-tenant laws. The case is scheduled for arbitration in the next few months.

"There certainly was no violence implied," he told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "I happened to mention President Bush because he was on a vendetta to get Saddam Hussein. And I was on a vendetta to find the person who hit my car."

1. Advice to Martin: Shift the focus. It works for Bush.

Instead of swearing to leave "no stone unturned" in finding the person who hit your car, instead shift the mission to go after the person who peed in your victory garden. Before you know it, people will forget all about your car being hit and your inability to track down the culprit.

Your approval points will most likely hold steady.

3. Just a microcosm of the violence Bush has unleashed in American society

You stir up the volk with permanent war against Oceania, and you get this: a society that reeks of war passion.

Just wait until the very, very, very angry troops start coming home from Iraq, minus legs, minus arms. Minus buddies. Minus moral compasses. Just wait.
