And the Idicoy of Greed Begins

It hasn't even been a week since the tragic shooting in Aurora, Colorado. Most of the memorial services, for the twelve who died, haven't taken place.

Yet, one eighteen year old that was there, but who wasn't even injured in the shooting, is already placing law suits.

Torrence Brown Jr., and his family, are suing Century 16 theater in Aurora, the shooter's doctors, and Warner Brothers studios. O, and they've taken an "exclusive contract" to sell his story, for an unknown amount of money, with Entertainment Tonight.

Their lawsuit claims  that the movie theater "was negligent" in not alarming or guarding its emergency door, that the shooter's doctors didn't correctly monitor the shooter after prescribing him prescription drugs, and that the Warner Brothers' film, "The Dark Knight Rises", was what gave the shooter the idea for the attack.

I'll give them a little leeway on the charge against the theater, that is odd that it wasn't alarmed.

However, suing the doctors is dumb, that's what doctors do. They prescribe drugs, and then say see me again in so many days.

Suing the studio is just plain idiocy and greed. Lots of movies have violence. As do many video games and music. Unless you're going to start suing everyone who has ever made or said anything violent, there should be no way for this to actually get anywhere.

Sadly, we live in the kind of world where events like this can happen. Evil people will commit atrocities. And greedy idiots will sue others over whatever they can think of. Instead of learning from the event, and trying to better the world we live in, they only think of what they personally can gain.
