It begins.
Good!
And they say Socialism have never really been tried.
Sure it has, CHOP and CHAZ.
You saw the results quickly.
Does the city or state have a legal duty to the plaintiff as an individual?
I can only address this claim in light of California wrongful death law: there are sovereign immunity problems but I suspect it might be possible to get around them in this case. All dad gets in the wrongful death case is the value of the “love, society, and support” of his deceased son. No pain and suffering. No punitive damages against governmental agencies. Though this kid made a big mistake, it seems like he was a nice kid with some promise. The case has jury appeal. I’d value it at $5-15 million at trial IF they can get past the sovereign immunity. Again particular Washington law
might suggest a different analysis
He’s suing because he wants to uncover the politicians involved in protecting and helping the anarchists. He’s not really out for the money. The money is more of a political statement than anything else
I don’t think the city, and especially not the state, will acknowledge any culpability.
See my last post. That’s why I was vague on the sovereign immunity. In California, the police have no duty to act, that is, no liability for failing to protect, but if they do they can’t do so negligently. So it depends
Whoever that is with the dad I’ll bet it’s is his bestest friend in the whole world!!
Looks like they are going to Chop Seattle down to size.
Oh no!
If he wins, they’ll have to lay off their arborists and gender checkers!
Then, who’s going to give their cousins and Aunts do nothing jobs?
Do they know who killed Lorenzo?
“””has sued the City of Seattle, King County, and the State of Washington for $3 billion.”””””
Setting the amount is all just show and is meaningless. The jury decides on the number. IF he wins they might award him 20 bucks or 20 million.
This is exactly what needs to happen with every one of these liberal s**tholes by victims of “protest” violence — physical, mental, business, and property.
Watch how fast these get shutdown as the lawsuits pile up.
Courts are worth a symbolic try, as they will enrage people when the judges rule against the innocent citizens.
If the justice system really worked then Comey and Hillary and many more would have been in prison.
Of course they are not in prison and of course that system does not work. Does not work.
Do we really think the Swamp will allow evil Dem governors, mayors and police chiefs to be subject to fulfilling their legally required duties or else pay off in money? As store owners and business franchise owners who lost everything in looting and fires while they pleaded with mayors and police to stop standing down? Will only hasten the coming pushback violence against the leftists. But that is the choice of the Left, not us.
I don’t know if he wins but Seattle lawyer bill just went up
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but this is precisely the purpose of the 2nd Amendment. It's not just to protect ourselves from a totalitarian government (which, is evidence, the citizenry must have the same weapons as the police), but also to protect ourselves and our cities when govt hides behind its constituents.
Instead of doing the jobs they were elected to do, the demonrats abandoned their duty while sheltering in place.
And their citizens suffered and some died as a result of their political stupidity.
I hope he has standing to sue them and lawyers who are good enough to make it hurt and make them examples of pain and suffering for their politically motivated failures.
Excellent! The shop owners need to sue the mayor and everyone on the city council.
The same needs to happen in Oregon.
