I couldn't disagree more. Schools & cities both ought to live in fear of lawsuits to stop this kind of nonsense from occuring as a kneejerk reaction and give common sense an opportunity to prevail.
- striking 11y agoWell, it allows certain opportunistic individuals to claim he's just in it for the money (and it does look rather bad, although I'm certainly not that reactionary). It comes as a charge to taxpayers, as well. Also, I find the phrase "live in fear" to be a little... strong. Is that really what you meant?

- abrookewood 11y agoLiving in fear of lawsuits is why we don't have climbing equipment in parks and diving boards in pools anymore. Lawsuits need to be scaled back and commonsense returned.
- oxide 11y agothat's idealistic at best. the society we live in is not one of common sense for the most part. we want the same thing, common sense to prevail, but the difference is I've accepted the litigious nature of today's world and you have a fantasy of it suddenly going away. A little shocked I was downvoted here for sharing my opinion, are we really that intent on becoming a circlejerk? guess that's just the way things go eventually.
- WizardlySquid 11y agoMore like clock boy wants to line his pockets with tax payer money after getting massive amounts of sympathy, products and scholarships from liberals trying to signal to other liberals.
- EvilPopsicleDog 11y agoYou have to admit; simply taking the casing off a store bought 80's clock, putting it in a suitcase and bringing it to school could easily be grounds for a bomb hoax.
- kelukelugames 11y agoLiving in fear might be too strong. There needs to be a monetary deterrent discourage abuse. For example, the Internet often claims police brutality will drop if the settlements were paid from their pension.
