In a rare legal move, more than a dozen people who last year witnessed a white gunman open fire and kill 10 Black people at a Tops grocery store in Buffalo, New York, have sued over the trauma they endured.
The lawsuit, brought Tuesday by the nonprofit group Everytown for Gun Safety and exclusively obtained by NBC News, names multiple defendants, including YouTube and Reddit, online spaces where the shooter was allegedly radicalized, as well as the retailer that sold the shooter's gun and the manufacturer of his body armor. The suit, which also names the shooter's parents, was filed in New York Supreme Court.
The 16 plaintiffs, most of whom worked at Tops, as well as some customers, survived the racist attack but had to endure moments of terror that left lasting effects, such as nightmares, trouble sleeping, anxiety and paranoia, the lawsuit alleges. Some, according to the lawsuit, have even been unable to return to work at Tops or other jobs.
The lawsuit, which was announced Wednesday afternoon at a news conference in Buffalo, names RMA Armament, a body armor manufacturer, and Vintage Firearms LLC, a gun retailer, as defendants, in addition to YouTube (as well as its parent companies, Google and Alphabet) and Reddit.
The suit, which alleges negligent infliction of emotional distress, seeks unspecified damages from the companies, as well as the cost of their legal fees.

The first mistake here, which is obvious, is there are too many defendants. The second mistake is that at least one of the defendants has more money than God. The third mistake is that court rulings of late have been running AGAINST the ANTI GUNNERS. I’ll stop with just 3 mistakes among many.
I sued a multi billionaire once. The litigation lasted from 12-11-84 to 2-19-99. Their legal fees to them were a proverbial drop in the bucket at 2.2 million dollars for 15 years! The jury ruled totally in my favor.
Can we launch a class action suit (Or whatever this is) against BLM, Antifa, and other democratic groups that have a social media presence using this one as precedence?

Nuisance lawsuits intended to bankrupt the retailer and maker of the body armor. Since body armor is a DEFENSIVE item, how does that “traumatize” the “victims”? Did he come through the door announcing he had body armor on and was invincible?
“Rare legal move” my eye! It’s always the aim of anti-gunners to try to bankrupt the little guy and dig into the wallet of those with the deepest pockets.
I saw a car accident where some people were killed. Should I file a lawsuit against car companies and dealer salemen?
Don’t forget the company that manufactured the vehicle’s airbags.
Cheap suit bid for censorship.
In my non lawyer but very experienced opinion Yes you COULD launch a Class Action lawsuit.
But, lawyers are VERY circumspect about Class Actions and look at them closely because they require A LOT of work and, as in all lawsuits, you may lose.
And, in the action you mention (against Antifa et al), you would probably get poured out on summary judgment based on standing.
