Prominent Blogger Arrested
By admin | July 13, 2008
The Long Beach Press Telegram reports that Long Beach Blogger Patric Ian Henn is a fugitive from Florida. He has a blog www.boysbuzz.net that talks about Long Beach Politics, the gay community, and events going on in Los Angeles. The Florida warrant is for allegedly absconding probation and not paying his restitution owed in a criminal case.
The blogger pleaded guilty in 2005 for fraudulently claiming that his domestic partner had died in the 9-11 attack terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. He received $68,000 from the American Red Cross. It was later determined that the boyfriend never existed.
He was sentenced by a judge to 2 1/2 years in prison and 12 1/2 years of probation.
Henn claims that his weekly e-mail magazine, Boy’s Buzz, has more than 3,200 e-mail subscribers. The Bloggers rise to fame eventually gave him access to press credentials that allowed him to interview Hollywood celebrities.
He is now facing extradition to Florida.

Craigslist wins discrimination lawsuit
By admin | March 16, 2008
After several years of litigation, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on March 14, 2008 in favor of Craigs list over a discrimination lawsuit brought by Chicago Lawyers.
The suit, filed back in 2006, was brought because the plaintiffs lawyers claimed it violated the Fair Housing Act of 1968 by publishing discriminatory advertisements. Craigslist has become a powerhouse on the internet with more than 30 million people a month who post offers to buy, sell or rent goods and housing. Craigslist permits anonymous users to post free ads, which are unedited, unscreened and of unlimited length.
The ads the plaintiffs said it spotted on Craigslist contained language like “African-Americans and Arabians tend to clash with me” and “No kids allowed.” Other ads they claimed gave requirements like “single occupancy only” or “no minorities.”
The Federal Court of appeals ruled that Craigslist is not the publisher of the ads, as a newspaper would be and therefore did not come under the U.S. Fair Housing Act.
