The kid clearly aimed his dismembered corpse at her. Throw the book at him!

Edit: As a note, I think this probably could have been settled without suing, but that wouldn't be the American way!

Let's play this scenario out. Man jumps off building and lands on someone who happened to be walking by. Jumper dies... who pays for the injuries and trauma the victim suffered?



See my question above.

This is the train service's fault, they should have nets along the rails to catch flying body parts.

Just like a drunk driver usually intends to kill when he gets into an accident, right?

Please tell me you see the stupidity in your argument. Regardless of the kid's intent, he was stupid to run across the train tracks, just as a drunk driver is stupid to drink and operate a motor vehicle. Both result in the injuries of others. How is this any different? Because the kid was not drunk? Drunk-body-throwing charge?

Logic - utilize it.

The main difference I see is that when a drunk driver hurts someone it is during the commission of a crime. Drunk driving is illegal. Running across a railroad track isn't.

I don't see the problem.

Yeah sucks for the kid, but imagine if the lady doesn't have health insurance right now? That would effectively bankrupt her.

Train kid did something stupid and it caused bodily harm to someone else. Derp?

What kind of derp logic is this?

If I do something perfectly legal and break your legs in the process, you aren't going to sue me? Yeah right.

lol
