Chef Jim Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The military deemed her March 2003 death an accident, but Corrie's parents said the driver acted recklessly and filed a civil lawsuit two years later. There was only one person acting recklessly in that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Nice of the Palestinians to take advantage of a young, dumb, American who learned about 'activism' on some tranquil college campus and assumed the rules in her classroom applied in a war zone.

Koko78 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 How dare those Israeli bastards not conform to this foreigner's protest and halt what they were doing because some dumb broad from a foreign country decided that it was wrong. Catepillar should be forced to pay billions for manufacturing heavy equipment in such a way that an idiot protester standing in that bulldozer's path dies. It was reasonably foreseeable when the bulldozer was designed and manufactured that a moron would make a stupid attempt at protesting by standing between a bulldozer and a building set to be demolished.

TheMadCap Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I love that. Caterpillar going to have to put a warning label on their equipment now?

DC Tom Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 But in this one, the person needs to be holding a protest sign. I thought it was truly sad that it actually exists. Is there anything that doesn't have a warning sign these days? Even Jarts didn't have a warning sign until about a year before they were banned, and that's something that was begging for a warning.

DC Tom Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Did any of you guys read the part where their daughter was run over by a bulldozer? No, I was too busy laughing at the unmitigated gall of someone to sue the maker of the bulldozer for their daughter sitting in front of it. Everyone dies. Stupid people die stupidly.
