Mad Cow is mad.

But hey. Ya file a frivolous lawsuit - ya takes your chances.

[lurk]

Loser pays.

Start the fight only if you know you have a case.

[SaxxonWoods]

That’s a good law.

[nickcarraway]

It might be worth the PR bump to waive the parents from paying, if that’s allowed.

[Smokin' Joe]

Its like suing the silverware manufacturer for making the spoons that fed you too much...

And their attorney didn't counsel them that if they lost, they'd have to pick up the tab?

or i that law the one in the crosshairs, to free up frivolous lawsuits to bury legitimate businesses in legal fees?

[Crazieman]

Need the Nelson Muntz ha-ha

Parents of theater shooting victim lose lawsuit against ammo sellers

 

The parents of a woman killed during the Aurora movie theater shooting lost their bid Friday to hold ammunition sellers liable for the attack.

Sandy and Lonnie Phillips, whose daughter, Jessica Ghawi, was one of 12 people killed in the July 2012 attack, had  sued four online retailers that provided bullets, gun magazines and body armor alleged to have been used in the shooting. They accused the retailers of selling the items  without concern about the mental fitness of the buyer or the items' intended use.

 

more....

You stupid lesbian, the manufacturer had to spend a quarter million defending itself aganinst a BS lawsuit they surely would rather not have wanted to. Why should they not be compensated for wasted time and money?

This sort of law should be national.

[telstar12.5]

“...ordered to pay a quarter-million dollars to the gun makers who sold the bullets that were used...”

writer seems clueless here

[SkyDancer]

They sued the ammunition manufacturers. They lost.

[dp0622]

by that logic every time someone is hit by a car they should be able to sue the car company etc etc

[BBell]

So if a muzzie uses a corvette for a car bomb and it kills someone I know I can sue GM? Mad cow logic.

[Dr. Thorne]

That’s like me suing a cow because I choked on a piece of steak. This idiots get what they deserve.

[mabarker1]

gun makers who sold the bullets

What?

[yetidog]

I would guess that some anti-gun organization or individual has their back.

[smoothsailing]

maybe next they’ll sue their lawyer for taking the case.

[dware]

“The mother and father of the victim who died in the Aurora mass shooting have just been ordered to pay a quarter-million dollars to the gun makers who sold the bullets that were used in the Aurora mass shooting -- the parents of the girl who was killed.”

Maybe that'll leave a mark long enough to make them think twice before they file an ignorant lawsuit.

[House Atreides]

This is GOOD news. Loser pays, if adopted nationally, will greatly increase the productivity of the economy and allow folks and companies to focus on their actual products and services. The parasite lawyers who file millions of frivolous lawsuits will have to find new scams (or perhaps unexpectedly start being productive members of society).

[VeniVidiVici]

Guess they should sue their lawyer now.

[Calpublican]

Their attorney was remiss if he did not explain that possibility to them.

[apocalypto]

The parents should made to pay. Maybe this will discourage frivolous lawsuits that are basically extortion. Some settle because they cannot afford to go to trial.

Also, it really wasn't the gun's fault. Does Ms. M. also support people sue manufacturers of knives used in killings?
