13yr Old Saves Sister and Gets Sued by Kidnapper

[jitter77]

Here is a nice BS story. In summary a 13 yr of saw a guy dragging his sister into the woods. He grabbed his slingshot and hit the guy in the chest and then in the eye. The shot to the eye caused the guy to lose vision in that eye. Now the brother is being sued for 800k. The kidnapper claims he was just playing with the girl......I can not believe anyone would even entertain accepting this case.

That looks like one of those real nice $50 slingshots.

I have found two high quality ones in original packaging, at garage sales. Well worth it.

Everyone should have a high capacity, assault sling shot, with a.bump stock. Except liberals.

So, a 28 year old male carried an 8 year old girl into the woods because he wanted to play with her?
Were this my granddaughter his family would be making funeral arrangements.

They wouldn’t have anything to put in the ground.

I would have made it hard to know where and when he "disappeared".

Suing someone is easy, any ambulance chaser does that for the money, getting a jury to side with you in a case like that would be a whole lot harder. The only one that ever makes out are the dregs of society, the lawyers.

Not our lawyers of course.

I have never met a lawyer that didn't make at lease 6 figures. They should limit them to $50,000 a year to offset the penance they need to do for the job they are in.

Whoever took that case is going to get nothing other than a ton of bills he has to pay. No jury is going to give the guy any money. Juries cost about $1600/week in fees, the court reporter fees are about $1100 per day, plus the expenses for deposition transcripts, filing fee, etc. mean the idiot who took the case will spend somewhere in the area of $45,000 and get zero for that investment.

Not even considering that the guy will get paid zero after spending about 400 hours on the case.

The idea that lawyers make money off bullshit cases is a stupid fiction. It's like every other situation where somebody who doesn't do the job or work in the profession or have any experience in what is involved bases conclusions on some half-assed article about something that happened in 2007 where "x" was the result.

Then why do they do it? Your profession must be full of idiots, as well as scum.

Does homeowner's insurance over there include liability cover for owner and occupants? If so, that might explain it - the lawyer doesn't expect it to get to court. He's banking on the insurance company paying go away money, oops I mean offering a settlement, due to the costs involved in defending a claim.

Perhaps this guy is a victim. All he want to do is play. In the woods. With a young kid. It has victim written all over it. We should start a go fund me.
Or jail his *** for ever and let people play with him

I just read the full story. Essentially a 17year old kid was struggling with an 8 year old girl outside her home. She screams, her brother stops playing a video game and sees the goings on out his window. He loads a marble and a rock from his desk, and nails the asshat in the chest and eye. Asshat runs into the woods and is later found by police hiding in a gas station with the reported wounds. He confessed to police that he planned to "severely beat" the 8 year old girl.

Now, he changes his story to "I just wanted to play with her"

Yeah, no. I hope someone in prison severely beats him into a retard, or vegetable.

Lol the R word.

Lol the R word.

Until about 20 years ago it was a perfectly good word.
And I thought the prep was 28.

It's been okay to use gay and retard again since sometime in January.
