http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,53056,00.html LOS ANGELES ? On May 14 of last year, 14 illegal aliens died while crossing a stretch of the Arizona desert. Now their families blame the U.S. government for those deaths, and are asking for a payment of more than $41 million. The reason: Attorneys for the families argue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department should have put drinking water stations in the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, where many of the crossings are known to occur. This has me fuming. US court system - beyond idiotic if they don't throw this out immediately. F*ck all lawyers other than the ones that do traffic related offenses.  John

When the US implements a "loser pays" system, this will stop. But the ACLU argues that doing so will prevent access to the courts by low income people.
Of course, if they are going to win, what does it matter how much money they have?
Anyone want to hear the story about my getting sued for $50k from a 5 MPH fender bender?

I wish I could be on the jury for this one, it just gets more ridiculous all the time.

Don't you know that it's the government's job to protect us all from our own stupidity? :rolleyes: And the lawyers are here to make sure that happens! (And take there cut) It pays to be dumb!  It's like the lady who got a cup of coffee from Mc D's puts in her crotch while driving, it spills, she gets burned and sues! (And wins IIRC) HELP! I'M STUPID! GIVE ME MONEY! I can't believe this crap goes on! Well maybe they don't drink the water from south of the border either.

Why can't the government just say, "If they weren't trying to illegally enter the country they wouldn't have died." Then go on to say, "We didn't put drinking water stations there becasue we know that would only make it easier for illegal immigrants to enter the country, which is something we all can do without."
"careful man, there's a beverage here."

This is all being orchestrated by rich liberal California Hispanics with more money than common sense. Family attorneys say the success of the U.S. Border Patrol blocked safe entries into the United States and forced the migrants onto remote, more dangerous areas. Government supporters point out that all illegal border crossings are dangerous. Well, gee. Let's provide them with a ****ing air conditioned bus while we're at it! :rolleyes:
