As a lawyer, I’m curious what cause of action you think could be used to sue JimRob in this situation.
I agree you are curious, because I think you know the answer and you are probing and wasting my time. But I’ll bite one time.
So now I’m curious also. Do you do a lot of liability cases where there has been murder or serious attack or property damage and someone is going through a criminal trial? Do you advise people about liability or do you just wait until something happens and pick up the case? you must agree that in out litigious society a lawsuit can be filed in some venues based on the temperament of the judge.
I am not an attorney. I was a line staff and then a high level manager in corrections and did course in 15 states to managers including liability for corrections managers and staff for 28 years.
He could be cited as a source of the home address to the person who committed a murder. He would argue that it is on the internet elsewhere. The parents of the dead children, after showing pictures of their bodies to the jury, would say that if he didn’t let it be posted the murderer wouldn’’t have seen it because on his computer he spends a lot of his time only on three web sites.
As an experienced attorney, you probably advise your client when asked about liability and say even if the exposures limited he might want to do something simple like not let people put up, private addresses of people when there is a volatile national incident underway.
So the bottom line is feel free to advise the owner to leave the information up. I gave my opinion and so fare the owner or moderator agrees despite the BS I went through with the anonymous people posting it here and their apologists.
Sorry for the rant.
