around here a black guy who was technically unarmed got shot by police and people went nuts about it, the thing is he had a fake gun he was using to rob people at gunpoint and he pointed it ***at the police*** when they showed up
like, there's a limit to what you can try to claim is injustice
Welcome to America, where you can sue because your coffee is hot
> Welcome to America, nanny police state
ftfy
The hot coffee incident was totally a justified case.
That women was horribly burned to the point her legs fused together, and all she asked of McDonalds was for her medical bills to be paid.
And they were purposefully heating their coffee to absurdly unsafe levels on purpose so that people wouldn't be able to drink it quickly and ask for refills before they left.
You absolutely can sue for utterly stupid shit, but that doesn't mean it's going to go in your favor. The slaphappy lawsuit-state of America is greatly overblown.
Now slapp suits are worth complaining about.
the real dumb ones are the lawsuits behind store employees not being allowed to stop shoplifters
because if the shoplifter injures themselves running away from an employee, they can sue the store and potentially win
ESPECIALLY if the employee also gets in trouble for shrinkage
potentially, also there's just the opportunity cost and actual cost of going to court in the first place
Oh, that's what you're talking about
I thought you were talking about dismissals due to people actually defending the stores they work at
That's mostly an issue with property rights. If you get injured, the people who's land your on can be held liable, even if you're trespassing
🤠Having Castle Doctrine in TX is nice
it even applies to when you're in your car
YES! ANOTHER TEXAN!
fucking what
I'll pretend one of you is from Amarillo and the other is from Corpus Christi
new murder plan; wait for your target to rob your place of business with a gun, then shoot him
works every time, most of the time
Why those cities in particular?
no idea, but Waco's creepy
And Midland's boring
use the ol' dollar bill on a fishing pole trick
Nine, you sound rather familiar with Texas, too. You holding out on me?
speaking of creepy I recently found out that Galveston TX is one of the worlds "most haunted" towns
Nope, not from Texas
meh. if you buy that, sure
I drove through both of those once in one day
Which two? We've named a lot of cities here...
That's nothing. I've driven through Madison, WI and Mobile in one day. 😛
(One of which I live within day-trip distance of)
Corpus Christi and Amarillo
I was driving from Colorado Springs to Frisco, TX
Sounds flat
It was boring
