Cinemark Wants Losing Aurora Massacre Plaintiffs to Pay Legal Costs - Law Blog - WSJ
Just heard this on my local news as well
Victims and survivors of the 2012 Colorado movie theater massacre failed to convince a jury that the theater’s owner should be held responsible for the bloodshed. Now they may have to reimburse the company they sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal costs.
actually this sounds [FONT=Chronicle SSm, serif]reasonable. Some of the victims were nailed with lawyers' fees when they sued the gun makers as well. Loser pays is a good idea to cut down on frivolous suits[/FONT]

I think the lawyers that took this frivolous lawsuit to court should be responsible for paying the theater's legal bills.
Isn't this what Feinstein wants? To be able to sue the gun manufacturers and FFL dealers?
TORT REFORM

had they won, it would have set a terrible precedent for future public venues of any kind

'It could have been worse" fails to work at some point, that this suit made it to court is pretty bad.
yes and who would want to take that risk because we all know god forbid it will happen again and again....it is the way of the world nowAbsolutely. Their insurers would have seen to it that getting into a theater was the same as getting on a plane. It would take two hours to fill the theater for a two hour movie.
true but I see their liability as more justified as that of the gun maker. the fact that the back door was not monitored or alarmed would make it a close call if I were the trier of fact. But you are absolutely correct as to the precedent that could have been set
the thing is sometimes bizarre cases win against all odds so when people feel justified they go for the gold
I truly can not understand wanting to go through all that emotional turmoil for dollars but others obviously disagree
There is for sure a morality problem with wanting to cause pain to the other victims, and Cinemark was a victim. The moral fiber of this nation is shot to hell, has been for awhile.
well the whole world has kind of gone crazy
we are very much an "all about my own benefit" attitude presently
nothing good comes from that
Which is why I am a socialist. It is very clear which way the needle needs to move at present.

I do not understand the reasoning here. How was Cinemark negligent? Because that's what these ambulance chasers are going to have to prove.

Morales are usually based in logic and reason the same as right and wrong.
Today the agenda has been to throw out logic and reason for feelings.
When you solely base everything on feelings everything gets corrupted and then you can attempt to
Live in a grey world where there is no right and wrong.
Bloom was talking about this way back in the 80's in "The Closing of the American Mind". He lived just long enough to know that he got ripped to shreds for making the suggestion. This is taboo, victim culture demands that feelings are all important.
so how do we get back to that dual balance because it has to be logic but tempered with feeling
