Re: Pure Idiocy - The American Tort System
Yeah, like you Floyd. Didn't you go and register for the draft like a good little sheep so you could go to UT? 
Let's see, the jury found a product defect. Gee, that was tough. Nothing that the designers couldn't anticipate and have changed, but in the Floydiverse, blame shifting is selective.
And gee, that manipulated jury of soccer moms. Obviously, only one party's counsel was allowed to participate in voir dire.
And gee, using the bankruptcy system to thwart a creditor, exactly like you bragged you would do so in a prior magazine interview. Nope, no "blame" there - manipulate the legal system while *****ing you're a victim of the legal system being manipulated.
Oh, and of course the quadriplegic is being selfish, because widdle Fwoydy might have one less gun manufacturer out of dozens from which he can buy a cheap-assed piece.

But they said the gun maker also was liable because the pistol could only be unloaded when its trigger safety catch was switched off.
Ruggieri maintains that Jimenez is only a front for the wealthy Jennings, who in a 1999 interview with Business Week magazine said that if his company were sued, he would "go away until the litigation passes by, then re-form and build guns to the new standard — if there is a new standard."

Come on, this is outrageous. First of all, the gun was not in any way defective. The babysitter may have been mentally defective, but that's hardly the fault of the gun manufacturer. Sure, the gun has to have the safety off in order to unload - but that's a convenience and a self-defense issue, and it certainly was not an illegal design mechanism, nor a hidden one that no one knew about.
Basically, a gun manufacturer is getting screwed by the American tort system - and by a victim who, quite frankly, is being selfish - for no reason other than a lawyer was able to a)manipulate the jury selection process to his benefit (he probably had a bunch of soccor moms on the jury), and b)convince the twelve retards that the gun manufacturer had partial responsibility for the actions of the babysitter.
This is just indicative of the "blame someone else, preferably someone with money" mindset of tort lawyers, mindless juries, and worst of all, US tort laws
