So if you fire indiscriminately into a crowd, you can't be sued in the US. If you shoot a terrorist who might have a bomb strapped to him, you face murder charges. But if he's on life support and you cut it off, you're being humane. Interesting world we live in.

Good thing the Saudis weren’t involved in 9/11 either.
The PLO involved in terrorism? No way!!!!

The world is getting even crazier than usual, and I didn’t think that was even possible any more.

Smirk. Next they’ll be saying the Pope’s Catholic, or even *snigger* that bears crap in the woods. Teehee.

Every govt in the world that goes to the UN has sufficient nexus to the United States - the court is a fifth column.
To: Eleutheria5
So another words, if I speed my car up to 80 MPH and drive into a crowd, nobody can seek civil damages? He, I wasn’t specifically trying to hit any one person. It was just accidental...
These judges do realize what a bunch of ass hats they’re going to look like right?

Besides, there’s still such a thing in New York State as Quasi In Rem jurisdiction. They have assets in New York, possession of those assets is sufficient nexus. Grab their f@#$ing bank account, in other words, and use it to satisfy the verdict, and the question of right to do so being sufficient nexus as the basis for an appeal to SCOTUS. This case is not over yet, but the Circus Court of Appeals’ insanity is worthy of comment.

Judge: Ass hat? Why, thank you. It’s the latest fashion, and it does make me look snappy. Clothes do make the man.

[ The victims who brought the lawsuit were U.S. citizens, but the judges said that during the Israel attacks, the shooters fired indiscriminately at large groups of people, meaning they werent expressly targeting Americans. ]
And, of course, the judges can read the minds of the PLO terrorists. As if that made any difference.
Good gosh.

That’s too technical for me, above my pay grade.

If he levels his sights and carefully fires on a man in a colorful shirt with a camera and his fat wife, or a trucker with a “These Colors Don’t Burn or Run” hat, he was targeting Americans. But if he’s just strafing a crowd and hits the same people, then the case is dismissed.

Maybe it’d mean something if someone fired indiscriminately at a crowd he happened to be in.

So if you fire indiscriminately into a crowd, you can't be sued in the US. If you fire indiscriminately into a crowd in the U.S., you can be sued in the U.S. If you fire indiscriminately into a crowd in Israel, you can be sued in Israel. This is basic personal-jurisdiction law, as much as we'd like to make an exception for the PLO.

Besides, theres still such a thing in New York State as Quasi In Rem jurisdiction.Not much left of that doctrine anymore. See, e.g., Shaffer v. Heitner, 433 U.S. 186 (1977).
