Forget About Accountability, Just Sue!

Yeah!

Eventually people in the United States won’t take ownership for anything, it will turn into a society of whoever touches their noses last is found guilty. So if you kill someone in a car accident but when the cops come and ask you, “So who was responsible here?” all yo have to do is point at the lifeless victims with one hand and touch your nose with the other. Until then, we have people doing this.

In an unusual legal maneuver, Justine Winter — the Evergreen teenager charged with deliberate homicide in the traffic deaths of Erin Thompson and her 13-year-old son — has sued Thompson’s estate and the construction company that built the U.S. 93 overpass at Church Drive where the accident occurred.

Yes, I’d agree that suing the estate of the family killed as well as the construction company who built the road is a bit unusual.

Winter alleges that Thompson, of Columbia Falls, negligently operated her vehicle in a manner that caused it to collide with Winter’s vehicle on U.S. 93 in the vicinity of the Church Drive overpass bridge. The allegation flies in the face of the prosecution’s stand that Winter deliberately drove her car into oncoming traffic in an apparent suicide attempt.

Wow. The person driving her correctly should have avoided the girl who was using her car as a heat seeking missile. That would be like a guy deliberately shooting another guy in the head but in court saying, ”The guy who was shot in the head must have been doing parcour because he practically dove in front of the gun whose scope I was using for telescopic reasons at the time. I was startled and pulled the trigger and would now like to sue the wife of the guy I killed because this has hampered my ability to enjoy life. Thanks.”

(Oh, my vacation was great, thanks.)
