Peace Activist Janice Roberts Refuses to Rent Apartment to War Veteran Sgt. Joel Morgan

In Savin Hill, Massachusetts, Sgt. Joel Morgan has sued property owner Janice Roberts, who reportedly refused to rent an apartment to him because he is a national guardsman who has served in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.

Roberts told Sgt. Morgan in an April 9 voicemail that renting to him would be a conflict, saying, “We are very adamant about our beliefs,” reports the Boston Herald.

“It just is not going to be comfortable for us without a doubt. It probably would be better for you to look for a place that is a little bit less politically active and controversial,” Roberts told Dgt. Morgan, according to his lawsuit.

Sgt. Morgan said: “For her to do that to me, it was like a spit in the face. For what we have gone through overseas, to come home to our country and have people ... discriminate against us. ... It made me extremely insecure about being a soldier.”

Morgan filed suit last week in Suffolk Superior Court, accusing Roberts of violating a state law that prohibits landlords from refusing to rent to veterans.

Robert's written response to the lawsuit claims that Sgt. Morgan never returned a completed rental application, which he admits after hearing her voicemail.

Roberts, who has belonged to a civil-rights group called Garden of Enlightenment since 2000, also said: “This bodes the question, ‘Why would someone like Joel Morgan, who apparently fought so valiently (sic) in wars in which he believed, want to even choose to subject himself to renting an apartment from people, like myself, who were so vigorously seeking an end to the Iraq War?’

“There was never any mention to Morgan that his being a veteran would impede his chances to rent from us. If anything, he was a victim of U.S. greed, and for that, I feel much empathy.”

How about that?

ANOTHER bullshit misrepresentation of what actually happened, all just so USF can belittle liberals once again.

it's just so unlike him!
 
I think it's her apartment, she doesn't have to rent it to anyone, she wants to be a jerk I think that's her decision. Nice to know that even veterans have the knee-jerk "sue them" response.

Then you would also support her not renting to minorities also!!
Nice to see you still believe in "seperate; but equal". :palm:

Her apartment, her renting rights, she can rent to just one legged Hispanics with lisps that work at McDonalds for all I care. It's not a public school system, no amount of twisting is gonna make it that way.

But as it stated in the article, the Vet was told by the owner that she didn't agree with the war and warned him her anti-war feelings might make him uncomfortable.

The bottom line is, that the Vet didn't finish filling out the rental application...WHICH IS REQUIRED.

It is on THAT BASIS that he was turned down.

but again, why should a douchebag like USF let little things like FACTS get in the way of his latest hate filled rant?

Thanks for reminding me of how naive you are.
At least you provide amusement.

In reply to your asininity: NO, she can't make that choice.

Watch USF ignore the words from his own OP...

Nice to see USF still resides in Lying Douchebag land...LOL!
 
As a veteran, I support the rights of the property owner to choose who they do business with. Its the right I fought for.

I agree with you. However, I do find it hilarious that the very liberals on this site who support anti-discrimination laws for property rentals are now flipping a 180 and throwing that veteran under the bus. I mean, I already knew Zappa is a hypocrite, but I never thought he'd be so obvious about it.

Yeah, I'm against those laws too. Freedom of association is kinda important.

Another bullshit lie from a conservative?

What a surprise.

Perhaps you could show everyone where PRECISELY I "threw that vet under the bus..."
