SEATTLE -- The parents of a 23-year-old who was killed trying to prevent the demolition of an occupied Palestinian home have appealed a judge's decision to dismiss their lawsuit against Caterpiller Inc., the company that made the bulldozer that ran over her.
"He applied the wrong legal standard and ignored the facts," said Maria LaHood, a lawyer with the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights.
Rachel Corrie was killed three years ago by an Israeli soldier driving a bulldozer. She was trying to stop him from demolishing a Gaza Strip home while the family was inside; though witnesses said she was clearly visible, the army claimed he didn't see her.

Let me get this straight. She threw herself in front of a moving bulldozer, was killed and it is the bulldozer manufacturers fault. No. It's Bush's fault. I'm surprised this family of whacked-out loons isn't suing him too.

I suggest they sue whatever backwater "college" kindergarten she supposedly attended for not teaching her to get the heck out of the way of heavy equipment coming in her direction.

She's FR's mascot!
Our own little dummy! Face contorted with rage (or pain from getting her little fingers burned while buring a drawn copy of our flag) while the kids around her look on with amusement, trying to look intelligent in the photo shown on a prior post, the K-Mart portrait that Arafat presented the dummy parents -- it just goes on and on. She's our little pet.

Perhaps the company should sue the Corries for their daughter being where she should not have been

The caption with the pics said she was run over with an 'eight ton Caterpillar'. I have news for the turkey that wrote this, the operating weight of a D9T is 105,600 lbs. I suspect the actual operating weight was somewhat higher since the machine was armored. But what's new? lefties surely ain't the brightest bulbs on the string, ya know...

"I suggest they sue whatever backwater "college" she supposedly attended for not teaching her to get the heck out of the way of heavy equipment..."Judging by the parents' actions since, I'd say she acquired her stupidity at home.
Fortunately, she never passed along her genetic makeup.
