These suits used to lose every time now they're winning, America, more and more, is becoming a scapegoat culture. That's because the lawyers have found where the "banks" are.

Actually that plays quite well into the liberal facism handbook. Think about it. Any company that doesn't comply with health, race, economic, etc. demands from some lunatic fringe is sued to death. They've come right out and admitted that this is their motivation for the plethora of lawsuits against gunmakers.

No, you're not worth $28 billion. Only liberal attorneys know how to cook books to that level.

This is beyond unreasonable, this is absurd.
These kinds of judgements make me think this country is going to hell faster than I imagined.
The same kind of insane awards for malpractice suits are driving the Doctors out of Pennsylvania....and driving health insurance premiums through the roof.
