PC Sharia Law colliding with the Actual Law and, for once, losing.
In our country we have two sets of laws. The first are constitutionally based and are expressed in the common law and the statutory law. When these laws go the leftists way they are to be celebrated, lauded and deemed infallible. But what to do when they don’t go the way of the leftist?
The answer is to rely on the second set of laws. The PC Sharia law of “the way it ought to be.” This type of law is driven by the emotion of the moment, the conveniently false or incomplete narrative, the angry mob. The basis for this law is and will always be the leftist agenda. All that is needed to make Sharia PC Law trump the constitutionally based law is a sympathetic dictator in black robes.
All too often, we know that those dictators in black robes will come through for the left. Occasionally, however, they do not and they stick by the fist type of law, the one that is supposed to govern. Never fear, when that happens, the Huffpo and the rest of the Sharia PC Law media will ride to the rescue to make the result look “unjust” or abnormal.
In the present case it is: “Boo hoo for us, we raised a lawsuit that had no basis in the law but, by God, should have had some basis because of the horrid manner in which we lost our daughter. This is the way it ought to be, making the ammo supplier pay for something out of his control. Why didn’t that ammo supplier and all the rest just go out of business?!?! Judge, make the second amendment go away please. We spent our life savings on this, after all. It is the way it should be!!!”
I love Lucky Gunner twisting the knife by donating the fees to gun rights groups. On my list for new purchases.
Guess they didn’t also sue the trucking company that supplied them and sued ... etc etc etc etc ....
I guess I don’t have sympathy for their loss because it was their kind of addle-brained thinking that directly led to that theatre being made a gun-free killing zone. If anything their admission that they support these idiot ideas should make THEM legally liable for the deaths of any CCW holders who were unarmed at the theatre!!!
Sadly, no.
we knew that under Colorado law we could even be ordered to pay attorneys' fees because of those special protections
Loser pays only applies, in this case, because of the nature of the suit.
Not only that, but the plaintiff’s attorneys were working pro bono. Seems they should bear at least half the cost.
“you have an impenetrable barrier to using the judicial system to effect change in gun legislation in Colorado”
Which is the exact intent of the law, and clearly that law is working exactly as intended!
If you want to change gun legislation in Colorado, then you need to get the LEGISLATURE to do it, and if they won’t, that means the PEOPLE of the State of Colorado don’t won’t it changed, and fortunately your minority of one has been thwarted in sneaking changes to the laws through the judiciary against the will of the people of the State of Colorado.
You said it best
If the lawyer had been competent then he wouldn’t have lost the lawsuit. Sue the lawyer for malpractice, its what lawyers do to medical professionals when things don’t go the patients way. Our judicial system is run amok and will keep on if lawyers don’t have any negative consequences for taking on stupid and costly cases like this one.
Sue the Brady Bunch. They got you into this by using you, and you obviously love to sue people. Pay up.
I guess that means the now paid employees of Brady are coming back to Texas? I was glad when the morons moved to CO.
comments on huffpo are running at least ten to one against the fools who brought the bogus lawsuit they knew they were going to lose and knew they were going to owe big bucks when they lost.
Maybe George Soros or Mike Bloomberg will come bail ‘em out.
Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.
“Flatware Manufacturers should be sue for selling the knives that people use to kill people, The forks that lift food to the lips of the obese, and the spoons that feed sugar-laden jar food to babies.”
I’m pretty sure you can buy baseball bats online - without the slightest hint of a background check...
Maybe, this will be a good lesson for people who file frivolous lawsuits that have no merit.
Ambulance chasing lawyers love sheeple.
The average response time for a 911 call is 23 minutes. The response time for a 45 ACP is 850 feet per second. Which would you prefer?
It is too bad that their daughter was murdered. That said...what a couple demented idiots.
Question on plaintiff’s attorney working pro bono?
Were the plaintiff’s attorneys going to get any thing if they won?...
see pro bono sounds great in a crimal trial because there no money to be won.....
But in a lawsuit..where if plaintiff win they get a cash reward... attorneys usually get a cut of that cash award...
so you telling me the attorneys in this case we’re not going to get anything of that award if they won
the whole system is rigged its always benefit the legal industry... no matter what happen the attorneys never personally “lose”
they're all ambulance chasers
Maybe they could go after the mining company that dug up the lead. Or maybe Caterpillar for making the trucks. Or how about those loggers who felled the trees that made the cardboard boxes the ammo came in. Or the cement company that provided the pavement for the street he drove to the theater on. Or the company that made his car.
