there are Whackos everywhere you turn..best advice ever givin to me was.."Boy!, if you wanna stay ALIVE!..be AWARE of your surroundings at all times!"
because your basically giving them a license to kill w/o teaching them the cost/value of life!! its rape THEN pillage..not pillage THEN rape...Even people in the 1500s knew this..Well law enforcement and security needs guns... What if high school and college students want to carry an arsenal ofmweaponsmto 'protect themselves though?
The UK is trying desperately to get weapons of the street but the fact every kid thinks they need a weapon to protect themselves, they are attacking eachother as a knee jerk reaction because they anticipate the other person has a weapon... The 'attack first' mentality.. Perhaps the school security office should have guns.. Doesn't mean everyone should be allowed to wander around with the, though.
it's punitive, it's meant to make a statementSuch a complicated business. I still feel indebted to my parents for all the research and visits and entrance exams and interviewing processes they had to hel me with just considering a school let alone the final administration process. Big decisions but ultimately a school experience could just be what the child makes of it depending on circumstances. It's no small task.
I wish all parents everywhere the best with the erupts business of sending their child to a good school, or finding them a place at school at all..
MySunnyBoy, if no amount of money would make up for it, why are they asking? Parents the world over have experienced the pain of losing a child, which NO parent should ever face, and my prayers go out for the void in their lives and hearts that must torment them every day. But not every parent seeks monetary compensation for it, or such an amount that most people could never hope to see in their wildest dreams, not just covering things like funeral costs and counselling or even a family vacation to help keep their minds off it all.
Is this lawsuit about parents who lost their child or their child was simply there though..
I don't mean to sound I sensitive but money doesn't fix everything .. It helps, but extortionate amounts of money fix nothing.
IT IS PUNITIVE, TO AMPLIFY THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING OUR KIDS SAFEThats bull all they want is money or why do it. Who does it help
I am highlighting this post's central contradiction (before having read the thread, so if I am repeating, apologies). Since it could not reasonably have been prevented (the opinions of certain Politics luminaries notwithstanding), how can we argue that the parents DESERVE a huge settlement? Basically who DESERVES to be punished for this if even OP admits not much could have been done?http://news.yahoo.com/claim-seeks-100-million-child-survivor-connecticut-school-003646074.html
well looks like the parents are filing for 100 mill for their child for not being in a safe learning environment. they have every right to every last cent for this. not much could have been done to prevent it. but still this is what states need to have funds ready for. i hope that child gets all the money for college,car,school,house and a future where she never has to do a thing ever again if she so chooses. that is permanent damage no one could ever forget not matter how much weed you smoke.God bless that family with a win of the lawsuit
MERIDEN, Connecticut (Reuters) - A $100 million claim on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor is the first legal action to come out of the Connecticut school shooting that left 26 children and adults dead two weeks ago.
The unidentified client, referred to as Jill Doe, heard "cursing, screaming, and shooting" over the school intercom when the gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, opened fire, according to the claim filed by New Haven-based attorney Irv Pinsky.
"As a consequence, the ... child has sustained emotional and psychological trauma and injury, the nature and extent of which are yet to be determined," the claim said.
Pinsky said he filed a claim on Thursday with state Claims Commissioner J. Paul Vance Jr., whose office must give permission before a lawsuit can be filed against the state.
"We all know its going to happen again," Pinsky said on Friday. "Society has to take action."
Twenty children and six adults were shot dead on December 14 at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The children were all 6 and 7 years old.
Pinsky's claim said that the state Board of Education, Department of Education and Education Commissioner had failed to take appropriate steps to protect children from "foreseeable harm."
It said they had failed to provide a "safe school setting" or design "an effective student safety emergency response plan and protocol."
Pinsky said he was approached by the child's parents within a week of the shooting.
hhaa haaa haaa haaa yeah ok dude of course we all know there not doing it for money lolit's punitive, it's meant to make a statement
EDIT: IT IS PUNITIVE AND MEANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT
anyone who has kids knows that they aren't doing this for the money
i don't understand why you don't get this
it's not about money
they want our children safe
*gives up and walks away from this thread*
My question is: if it is punitive, who gets to be the scapegoat? The perp died. Now it's an unredeemed blame game imo. In those, the attorneys are the only sure winners. cndo you really think it's about money people?
come on sunny.. if it wasn't about money, why not sue for $1?? it would still get what you say is their real point across, and yet they wouldn't be getting rich in the process..do you really think it's about money people?
