What is wrong with this picture?

looks like all the cousins are moving up to philly. think i'll head up there and step in front of a bus, claiming that's how i thought i'd get picked up. i could buy a seawall with my settlement.

...John R, you are on fire!!!

And who says crime doesn't pay?

I am not sure how I feel about this either. While the boys were trespassing , they were not there for any mischief or violence. I believe the company should have warnings stating extreme danger. I sure would not want my son to be severly maimed due to a stupid mistake and stupid judgement. Who among us has not done similliar things? Did we expect to be severly damaged as a result? Would we have done them if we had been warned of danger?

Whenever I see a judgement like this I wish there was an automatic appeal to Judge Judy's court. In fact, I was hoping Bush had nominated her to the Supreme Court. BSmart, why don't you bring it up in school and let me know if it is constitutional:roll:

I am not saying they should have been awarded the huge amount that they were...but I do believe that there should have been plenty of warning.

im with you john...they were tresspassing...why would you need a sign if no one is supposed to be there in the first place...How could the train company have forseen that as a potential liability?

seriously, anyone who lives near any electric trains knows how they work. any trainyard has tresspassing and danger warnings. anyone who climbs up on a train car is practicing "assumption of the risk". any 17 year old person on top of a train car is up to no good.

People always have and always will continue to do dumb things. No amount of litigation is going to change this....
