I am still curious to know who should be the target of a punitive lawsuit. I cannot find anyone to blame with even a scrap of justice to it. cn

American Justice systems rarely requires truth, evidence, or "proof". You can stretch anything. Common sense among the peers isn't common either.

100 million is way to much, and they won't need any of it for college, you could spend a million a year and still not spend it all, I do believe she suffered trauama but I bet the parents are just taking advantage of the situation.

Some clarification... Schools are immune to most lawsuits. Where they are liable, it is up to a limit set by the state. For example, here in Texas, it is generally $250,000. In the case of the Red Lake massacre, the families of 21 victims (including the shooter's family) split $900,000. Surprise! It is not easy suing the government.

As for the basis of the lawsuit... broadcasting the shooting over the intercom may have caused some emotional duress but it allowed hundreds to barricade themselves and hundreds others to evacuate. An act of heroism should not be subject to a lawsuit.

this dosent really benefit their child.The kid is more than likely traumatized and the parents filing this suit because they think this was something foreseeable and preventable?Preventable yes,foreseeable no,,you cant forsee something that is as random as this.Looks like they are being quite opportunistic IMO.

I think they set that goal because they know they will have to eventually settle for something way less, they want every penny they can get, using their child's situation for profit almost.



Or maybe they're just really arrogant and think the world is suppose to be la dadada, which that would be nice but it just doesn't work like that, shit happens.

Good job parents.....blame the school.

I agree 100% with kuroitaimax, people dont know what the fuck they want.. One day its all about making sure we dont become a police state, and then some crazy fuck with a gun makes everyone believe in the police again. Ohhhh HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN! WHERE IS THE SECURITY!

The lower hierarchy of society is so fucking whiny like a child, never knows what it wants. 95% of them still believe we are a real democracy, relying on the politicians to change it all....but first theyll go for their lawsuits.

Fuck off.

I'm not real sure what you're talking about here. There is no such thing as a State limit of liability for schools. They are a business, and carry business insurance just like everyone else. They aren't immune to anything. A State has no control over the legal system like you're talking about that I've ever seen. I'm a licensed Property and Casualty insurance agent fyi.

Mysunnyboy, I really do think this lawsuit was about money. They started putting it together one week after the shootings, the bodies of the children were still being burried. I am a parent, as you requested responders to be, and I'm a parent of a 6 yr old first grader too.

I'm curious what this person thinks that a grade school should do differently to provide a safer learning environment, since I think they said he had to break through the glass doors to get into the locked school. Is that not true?

I'll bet these people were approached by a lawyer to sue. 15+ percent commission is a nice payday. Just like the lawyers that hound you after you have an accident.

TORT immunity is it.

Sovereign immunity may also apply to federal, state, and local governments within the United States, protecting these governments from being sued without their consent. The idea behind domestic sovereign immunity—also called governmental tort immunity—is to prevent money judgments against the government, as such judgments would have to be paid with taxpayers' dollars. As an example, a private citizen who is injured by another private citizen who runs a red light generally may sue the other driver for Negligence. But under a strict sovereign immunity doctrine, a private citizen who is injured by a city employee driving a city bus has no Cause of Action against the city unless the city, by ordinance, specifically allows such a suit.

Going by the initial tort restrictions as I haven't looked up the specifics of this lawsuit but odds are this is basically an administrative review. Make no beans about it... suits against the government are tough. Crudely put, they have governmental immunity. There has to be specific authorization enabling them to sue the district. Most likely this review was the case plead as such that it fit into one of the authorized instances for suing the government. Normally, the authorizing statutes also have a liability limit. They won't ordinarily kick the lawsuit for asking more but they judge won't sign an award for more. For instance... in Texas, a typical limit is 250,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence. Link to the Texas Tort Claims Act below...

What are the liability limits for governmental units under the Act? Liability of a municipality under the Act is limited to money damages in a
maximum amount of $250,000 for each person and $500,000 for each single
occurrence for bodily injury or death and $100,000 for each single occurrence
for injury to or destruction of property.

EDIT: The lawsuit is not because the intercom was left on. It is based on the school's alleged negligence in forecasting the shooting and taking steps to prevent the shooting. This case has no chance. Zero. The school had just recently upgraded their security system. It will likely be thrown out pretty quick... unless the judge starts smoking crack.
