I was traveling on one of my photography trips when the episode aired. I remember seeing preview for it on TV while I was away and I didnt watch the episode. When I returned home the media started having stories about airing the missed episode and I watched it online. The owners got what they deserved for acting the way they did. From what I remember the husband was facing deportation due to other things he has done in the past and bad publicity pretty much killed the restaurant.

Some say the male aggressor is related to Michael Scott from Dunder Mifflin.

Thank you for posting this. Two hours later and I'm just about to start reading Part 3 on the Bullshizer site.

I hope this all ends how I hope it's going to end!

Apparently, they (Bill and Stacy) have "PETITION FOR INJUNCTION FOR PROTECTION AGAINST STALKING WITHOUT ISSUANCE OF AN INTERIM TEMPORARY INJUNCTION" on one of the posters on the stop stealing photos forum. March 4th is the date set.

((this would be Bill(William) Scott and Stacie K from Delray Beach, Florida))

So I'm sure there will be a part 4 on Bullshizer. Train wreck in ultra slow motion - High Definition.


Godox/Flashpoint r2 system, plus some canon stuff.

I don't quite understand how they can believe that they are in the right on the one. They to this day, at least from all the reading I have done, still have not admitted to stealing the photos. Even still insisting that they did nothing wrong. And all of the sock puppet accounts they have built and FB groups they have created to discredit PhotoStealers when they are the ones that ultimately caused the problem to happen to them.
I guess some are just plain old delusional and living in their own little fantasy world.

There have been four or five cases on PS that got like this. They all seem to share the same common traits that point to the person having a serious personality disorder. Of those only one of them seems to have changed. It seems, from what he as posted since, that he was able to accept that he had psychological problems, and to get proper medical help for them. That was though after a very similar set of behaviors as shown by "Billcie" in this SJK case. It does seem unusual though to find a pair of people working together like this, and that's a situation that is unlikely to end well, as I guess they each push the other one onwards when maybe they would stop the behavior if they were on their own.

I think they know they are in the wrong, their problem seems to be, they have gone so far down the road of feigned ignorance/anger etc...that at this point apparently they don't have the stomach to admit wrongdoing to their friends and themselves, so they have to double down on the threats, comments of false accusations etc. And the lengths they have gone is nuts...:rolleyes:

Which is like doubling down when you already have busted at a hand of Blackjack. Kind of dumb and pointless and makes you look like an idiot.

They are not playing Blackjack, they are playing Poker and they are all pretty much from their first hand.

I think "Lawyer induced STFU" might be my new favorite legal term.
