recently, an 18 year old was killed with an armed altercation with Cincinnati Police officers. The father of the deceased met with the authorities who showed him the video recordings of the altercation. Shortly thereafter, the father deliberately struck and killed a Hamilton County Deputy Sheriff retiree who was working as a traffic control officer during the University of Cincinnati's commencement on or about May 3. The father is now charged with first degree murder with a death penalty specification. It appears his attorney will try to argue an insanity defense. recently, a woman in Georgia who has never met the defendant, filed a federal lawsuit on his behalf. Apparently, she has failed other frivolous lawsuits in the past https://www.cincinnati.com/story/ne...tAzYchhHSAsD4efn-w_aem_et7jP1ZWsZy0MkfcQ78sCg
This just goes to show how ridiculous the whole idea of one person getting money for someone else's death is. Back in older times, this idea began when a man was killed, leaving no father to financially provide for his children. But the more "modern" interpretations of this coming from the progressive Left have gotten totally crazy. Now we're seeing situations where one person, who was not the murder victim, and is not a juvenile child of the deceased, is being awarded money, and the money is being taken from a party who was not actually responsible for the death! (i.e. the taxpayers must be responsible, because it was a police officer who killed the person, or corporations being automatically responsible for crimes committed by their employees) That's how absurd things have gotten. And this is being normalized in the courts (in many areas of the U.S.). And so many in the progressive crowds fully condone it, because they get full of demented glee at any excuse to have government pay out a large sum of "free money", in some symbolic attempt to "right a wrong" and get "social justice". So with all this in mind, it probably didn't really seem like all that big of a leap, in this woman's mind, to file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of someone she had never met. (I mean it's not really like that makes so much less sense than what is currently happening, what seems to have become the current status quo)
