UVALDE TX. LAWSUITS
Re: UVALDE TX. LAWSUITS
Only one person at fault is the trigger man. Yet these greedy lawyers will try and sue any one with any money.

Re: UVALDE TX. LAWSUITS
In 2005, Jessica Gonzales sued Castle Rock, Colorado police for failing to arrest her husband, who had violated a protective order, resulting in the murder of her three children. Her case went to the U.S. Supreme Court in The Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales, where she lost because even though the order required arresting her husband upon violation, then-Justice Antonin Scalia successfully argued that “a well-established tradition of police discretion has long coexisted with apparently mandatory arrest statutes.”
This case builds upon Supreme Court precedent in Deshaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services (1989). In that case, a young boy was repeatedly abused at the hands of his father, something that county Social Services was aware of, but made no effort to remove the child. His mother sued once the four-year old entered a vegetative state, and the Court ruled that that the state did not have a special obligation to protect a citizen against harms it did not create.

Re: UVALDE TX. LAWSUITS
Yep, that's why qualified immunity shouldn't exist at all, and that is just another court precedent, not law. This creates a paradox of vigilante vs Police. We can do little and still be charged. They, can murder with impunity.Miker12 wrote: ↑November 29th, 2022, 10:18 pm In 2005, Jessica Gonzales sued Castle Rock, Colorado police for failing to arrest her husband, who had violated a protective order, resulting in the murder of her three children.

Re: UVALDE TX. LAWSUITS
It's time for the gun manufacturers to file countersuits against these anti-gun groups asserting whatever legal premises cover the damages done to them by these frivolous lawsuits. If the law does not allow this - then we need to work through the legislatures to protect businesses from this sort of harassments.
