I'll quote the relevant pieces. Loses his job and can't find another one in this wall street corruption fucked economy. The courts strip him of resources to a gambling whore who loots his savings. The government tells him to fuck off on unemployment insurance he has been paying for years. No child support means going to jail? Simply for being poor?
A victim of the system who will be made out as a mad man. I wonder why the guy went bonkers? It's a mystery alright.
Pardo was able to drive to his brother's home in the Sylmar area of Los Angeles, broke in and shot himself in the head. His brother discovered the body early Thursday.
Police said Pardo had no criminal record or history of violence, and neighbors and others knew him as a friendly man who walked his dog and was a volunteer usher at his parish church.
Court records show Pardo's ex-wife Sylvia Pardo, 43, filed for a dissolution of marriage on March 24, 2008, and they were legally separated after about two years of marriage. The two reached a settlement on Dec. 18.
Bruce Pardo owed her $10,000 as part of the settlement, according to court documents that detailed a bitter split. He also lost a dog he doted on and did not get back a valuable wedding ring.
Bruce Pardo wrote in a legal declaration that he was laid off in July and had been denied state unemployment payments in August. He said he was "desperately seeking" work with many companies.
"I was not given a severance package from my last employer at termination and I am not receiving any other income. I am desperately seeking work and have since applied to many companies, resulting in several job interviews," he wrote. "I ask for support just until I gain employment."
Bruce Pardo complained in a court declaration that Sylvia Pardo was living with her parents, not paying rent, and had spent lavishly on a luxury car, gambling trips to Las Vegas, meals at fine restaurants, massages and golf lessons.
Documents from the divorce show Bruce Pardo got their house, which was valued at more than $500,000, but the couple only had $106,000 in equity in it. The mortgage was $2,700 a month, a declaration said.
He complained in a filing that he had monthly expenses of $8,900 and ran a monthly deficit of $2,678.
In June, the court ordered him to pay $1,785 a month in spousal support and put him on a payment plan of $450 a month for $3,570 that was unpaid.
His attorney, Stanley Silver, told The Associated Press his client had trouble making the support payments after he lost his job in July, but spousal support was waived in the settlement last week. Bruce Pardo was trying to pay $10,000 to finalize the divorce proceedings, Silver said, and he never showed any anger or instability.
"All of my dealings with him were always pleasant and cheerful," said Silver, who heard from him last on Tuesday.
Yes, just being poor can put you in jail. And, being put in jail can get you raped and torture and perhaps a "suicide" for good measure. Maybe it was 8 years ago, this brain dead Christian family wanted their child to learn to respect the law. He was 18 or 19 and his crime was buying and or consuming beer. The police had attempted to return the child to his parents and they thought jail would do him good. The police warned them that no, jail doesn't do a body good and is extremely dangerous. Of course, their child was raped and killed.
Child support? The wife can be bringing in $10,000 a month net income and the husband can be financially broke due to job loss. It doesn't matter the injured husband can end up in jail for being broke. There is a huge shortage of prisoners and the cells need to be filled. Yes, dangerous felons are released due to "shortage" of jail space, but that is just a fraud designed to scare the cattle class.
One of the hazards of stripping at least at the cheap clubs is random arrest. Gambling dancer was given the choice of waiting 6 months for trial in jail (which would be speedy in this area) or pleading guilty or no contest and being released immediately. She plead no contest. She said that jail is one scary place. She is a small girl and it is easy to see why she'd be scared.
I'll be believe the BS about limited jail space when they stop arresting people for petty crimes or for not paying bogus "child support." Over the decades the police went from trying to keep people out of jail to seeing it as a huge revenue source---HINT: the police earn a lot more money wasting their time inside the court room than being on patrol. Yes, that scam of paying the police more to be in court is by design to encourage arrests to make $$$ for the court system.
