Welcome to Thunderdome

If there was any liability, it's that it is a gun free zone (statistically there should have been 3 or 4 concealed carry permit holders in a crowd that size). But everyone knew that going in. I tend to not frequent establishments that advertise that their customers are sitting targets.

That's the way it goes. I also don't feel the theater was liable.

Imagine if law enforcement had to pay the same penalties every time they were in the wrong.

Would that it were.

That depends? Did they have the "Gun Free Zone" signs posted? Because that would have stopped the massacre.

Seriously though, why were they suing the theater? Is there a reasonable expectation that the theater should have armed guards and measures in place to prevent a nut job from throwing tear gas into the theater and then shooting people when they exited?

1) Lawyers talked them into it.
2) They made the decision based on emotion and not reason.

1) I think there should be repercussions for lawyers who prey on victims like this.
2) That type of decision making is never good, and sadly, happens way, way too often.

Except the proper form usually exempts people from actual ramifications. Guess who's really good about having emotionally vulnerable people fill out those forms.

Would you be able to hire a lawyer willing to sue a lawyer?

Lawyers will attempt to sue anyone or anything, so yes.

If loan officers can be criticized for "predatory practices," I don't see why lawyers shouldn't be.

Yes, but you'd have to bring in someone from out of state.

Local attorneys won't go after each other. Collusion and threats to their own livelihood in that area are among reasons why.

Saul would do it. Better call him.

We need the A-Team of renegade lawyers that goes around the country doing pro bono work while simultaneously avoiding prosecution themselves. Until season 5.
