Message to David Kahn, the city attorney who prosecuted Lucy, which lead to her death

Please feel free to leave messages here for the city attorney, David Kahn, who prosecuted Lucy, which ultimately led to her death. Blogger also suggests you send Mr. Kahn your messages directly to him at his e-mails: cityatty@ci.sunnyvale.ca.us or dkahn@ci.sunnyvale.ca.us

Again, please be polite with Mr. Kahn as he was only doing his job. You should not expect a return message from Mr. Kahn. After he responded to a few e-mails himself (see one response below, for instance) it is evident he was advised not to respond to any others himself.




Here is a message to the City Attorney, David Kahn, the man who killed Lucy

Subject: Message for David Kahn

You are an evil man. Some day your conscience will begin to bother you and you will be burdened forever by the guilt of what you did to Lucy, her guardians and a two-year-old boy. If you have no feelings about the wrong of what you did, that speaks to precisely the kind of person you are. You are a bad lawyer. You are a bad man. You are no better than Hitler's counselor or the lawyer who drafted the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. May God have mercy on your soul.


Here is the message from the city attorney, written two hours after he killed Lucy:

Unfortunately, the information that is on the Internet is wrong and misleading. I have been an animal supporter all of my life and am very saddened by the loss of the dog. The decision that the dog be put down was made by the Superior Court and reviewed by other judges, and was not the decision of the city attorney. Had the dog's owners responsibly kept her inside their yard this situation would not have occurred.

(Blogger's note: Mr. Kahn he completely fails to note that he was the person who prosecuted Lucy and passes the buck to the judge, who was bound by the boundaries of his prosecution. This is precisely what the above message is all about. But also --- and this is very critical --- notice the last sentence. HE ADMITS THAT LUCY WAS PUT DOWN FOR WHAT HAPPENED ON JULY 30TH. My God, this man is incompetent. Lucy was supposed to have been put down because she was a continued threat to the community and not as punishment. This man doesn't even know the law. This is unbelievable. And those are his exact words two hours after he killed Lucy. Now do you see why Kahn was ordered not to send out any more e-mails and the city publish a Fact Sheet instead? They took away his license to use a computer, but now they should take away his license to practice law.)


HERE IS THE RESPONSE BACK TO MR. KAHN:

Mr. Kahn:

Thank you for your comment, which I noted you wrote two hours after you killed Lucy. But what I do not understand is how can you say you were saddened by Lucy's death when in less than two hours you were back at your desk answering your e-mail. Those of us who did not know Lucy and only learned of her plight this week will grieve for a long time. Have you no decency, sir?

Thank you also for passing the blame to Judge Brian Walsh. I and others will be sure to tell him that when we write to him. I am sure as a judge, he will appreciate that. Perhaps he will then understand how wrong he was with his decision.

Also, thank you for not being man enough to own up to your role in the whole matter. Any self-respecting attorney would have owned up to his or his client's position. By that single omission you proved all our points. As an attorney, I know what your role was.

As an attorney, I can honestly say that you are a bad lawyer. You are a despicable person. Because of your despicable actions, many other innocent dogs will die.

I wish no ill on you. But when tragedy does strike you or your loved ones --- as it will strike all of us --- and you cry out for relief from the pain, please think back to the moment of Lucy's death last night and think about how you had to opportunity to reduce suffering, but you went ahead and caused more suffering. And by depriving Lucy's guardians of their right to be with her when she died, you earned your place in Hell beside the likes of people like Adolph Eichman.

My God have mercy on your soul, even though you have demonstrated no capacity to show mercy yourself.


PLEASE E-MAIL MR. KAHN YOURSELF AND EXPRESS YOUR OPINION TO HIM ABOUT WHAT HE DID TO LUCY, HER GUARDIANS, AND COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. (YOU MAY ALSO LEAVE COMMENTS HERE FOR MR. KAHN. ALL SUCH COMMENTS WILL BE SENT TO HIM BY MAIL.) BUT PLEASE BE POLITE AS HE WAS ONLY DOING HIS JOB. YOU CAN E-MAIL HIM AT cityatty@ci.sunnyvale.ca.us




ALSO, SINCE MR. KAHN PUTS THE BLAME SQUARELY ON SANTA CLARA SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE BRIAN WALSH, YOU MAY ALSO WISH TO WRITE TO THE JUDGE TO TELL HIM YOUR OPINION ABOUT HIS JUDGMENT. (The Judge was the one who said, "I wish I could send Lucy home," but he did not, even though he had the discretion to do so, proving the fundamental point that Lucy was not a vicious dog.) But please be polite with the judge. The purpose of your comments should be to point out the flaws that he overlooked that we the public so clearly see so that when he and other judges are faced with the same malevolent attorneys in the future, they will have Mr. Kahn's actions to relate to, and, as the result, make wise, compassionate decisions.
