AARONS RENT TO OWN SMACKED WITH $1.2M VERDICT

Adding to the stun-gun pop was the fact that local attorney John Dwyre and his small staff were forbidden by the court to tell the jury of other Aarons tactics, which included purposely hiring convicted felons as collectors, the stalking of children,knifing one customer, and other evil practices.

Holy Crap! I would call the police immediately if I got one of those notes on my door. I can only imagine that they are renting to illegals who are too scared to call the authorities.

OMG! That has to be one of the scariest things I've ever read.

What I loved was the aside below the story which said, You may be wondering why the media did not report this story-- because The company advertises w/ them!

The status Quo media is such a *****. I refuse to read a newspaper in my town because it is nothing but propaganda. Duh.

Wow. Unbelievable. Makes you wonder if those employees were getting an incentive to collect or felt like the money was going into their own pockets.
