Why is whether someone is a widow or not relevant to whether or not they can be sued in your mind?
Would it be different if it was a widower? Or is that acceptable because men can deliver with things like that whereas women can barely cope with the grief of losing a man let alone all the legal stuff that is probably way over their head.
- protomyth 10y agoHe was basically suing a widow because of a remark her husband made in a book (husband's version of a story). In other words, the person who he had a problem with was killed. He then continued to sue the estate (widow). "Would it be different if it was a widower?" I would still have a problem with continuing a lawsuit because of something a man's wife said. "Or is that acceptable because men can deliver with things like that whereas women can barely cope with the grief of losing a man let alone all the legal stuff that is probably way over their head." sigh... Its lines like this that make me think the divide is too great and our better angels are long gone. Sadly, I'm reluctant to give up my seat on buses or hold the door open these days because I don't know if I'll offend. Its so much easier to just ignore others and tune it all out and make like I'm oblivious.
- IOT_Apprentice 10y agoThe person he was suing wrote a book and repeated the story. In addition to claiming it on a talk radio show. Dead or not the story was now to a national audience due to even more publicity from the movie about Kyle. A jury judged that story a lie. Having a widow has no bearing on this situation. Would you let a lie about your character and stating you wanted more SEALs killed stand?
- protomyth 10y ago> Would you let a lie about your character and stating you wanted more SEALs killed stand? I would fight the lie (if it is a lie), but I would never continue to sue when the person who has offended me is dead. It just makes you a bully. Your reputation is the important thing and not the money. Frankly, going after the money just shows its was probably true. The appeals course reversed the judgement, we'll see how he continues it.
- celticninja 10y agoI think you are misrepresenting the situation. I have had a read up on this and assume we are talking about the widow of Chris Kyle, he made money off the false statements, money his wife was still making. He was entitled to sue and just because the guy was killed doesn't mean he should not be able to sue, especially because the book was still being sold. Personally I hold doors and offer seats. I find that if someone makes an issue of it most/all people think they are the idiot and not me.
- protomyth 10y ago"he made money off the false statements" Mr. Kyle is not here to defend himself. He might be entitled to sue, but if it is supposed to clear his name, it won't. It shows he's a person of low character.
- celticninja 10y agowell he didnt wait until he died to sue his estate did he.
