Lets see, sue the school, school board, gun manufacturers, gun dealers, the landscapers and teachers.

Have I missed anybody?

A negligence suit like this would essentially be claiming that the County has a duty to keep multiple armed guards patroling every single public school during all hours there are ever students or faculty present. I’m glad I don’t pay taxes in Newton.

But, but, it was a “gun free” zone.

Should not the politicians be sued?

“The parents also question the lack of security in the parking lot and claim the school was negligent for not having bulletproof glass in front windows and doors.”

So, I guess all the parents’ homes have bullet proof windows and doors, right? Since it is “negligent” to not have these, I believe every plaintiff who does not have such bulletproofing should be arrest for child neglect and endangering the welfare of a child.

Trying to profit off the tragic deaths of their children is ghoulish and reprehensible.

The schools did not do enough to prevent the attack. They banned guns in the hands of honest, non-violent people. They did not have armed police present. They did not have adequate security.

Agree.
Needs too be stated more often.

Sue the "All Weapons Are Prohibited" sign maker.
Obviously the sign didn't work.

This is the product of our spoiled ROTTEN society.

We think everything is going to be perfect (even while railing against same said country that it is horrible and evil), and get all bent out of shape when....

....life happens.

It is tragic, but that is the luck, sometimes.

It is no one’s fault but the scum who wreaked his havoc on them.
