Ft Hood victims suing Army

[Binky]

Hit them in the pocketbook? Who? The army? Pfft. This is only hurting the taxpayers.

Why does everyone think the gov't is a source of 'free money'? We all end up paying for it through higher taxes.

Me either and I've handled pretty much every soldier issued weapon they give you from the 9mm to the Javelin

Yeah I would have thought that he would have had an MP5 shoved up his ass as soon as he too the first shot.

You know, in my short 5 years in the Army...I've never seen an Army issued MP5.

It just goes on and on and on....

Sue the fuck out of them. The fact that civilian police officers had to stop him on an Army base is beyond absurd too.

I personally can't understand how we can be trusted at war with our weapons but cannot be trusted on base with them. We are expected to let contracted civilians at my base protect us. If we had an active shooter I think many would be killed. Just another example of gun free zones getting people killed. They are lucky that hero cop came in and put him down.

I hope they win, everyone who turned a blind eye is sued individually and pc is outlawed in the military

I always thought it was insane that soldiers are not allowed to carry loaded weapons on post.

I had a CHL in Virginia but I had to check my weapon at the armory when I was living at the barracks. I might as well as not bothered with the CHL until I moved off post because the 1st Sgt wanted to know your reason for checking out your personally owned weapon from the armory. Just because, wasn't good enough. Of course me and the other fellas just said that we were going to the shooting range (even if we weren't).

Money is all they can get. I have no problem with it. The military was negligent in letting that crazy muslim bastard stay active. They should pay. Maybe it will make them look at things a little differently next time.

Hitting them In the pocket book is the only way you can get a change. More power to them. Its not always about the money, but sadly thats the only way to get satisfaction. Me I would hit them hard and give the money to things, groups of things that would make the person happy.

For some reason a post like this makes me think you work in the insurance industry, am I correct?

nope..healthcare

What they want is money... the wife/kids would the the beneficiaries of this money.. Getting a bunch of money because someone died does not solve or help anything unless the people were dependent on the money. Its sad that someone had to die, but how will money solve grief or anger? Im all for the settlement for people who depended on that income but honestly money does not solve the emotional stress...

I believe the wife and children should get money to help them throughout their life to the amount of what the man would have earned until age say 70... other than that...people are just greedy

Its very sad to say, but if I lost a parent, I cannot put a dollar amount on my emotions. Getting a bunch of money doesnt bring back the person. Our society has gone south with their morals and find financial compensation in excess to make them happy.

After thinking about this, what about spouses, parents, kids, and siblings of the dead? It's an average of less than 7 per victim. Example: my wife, my 2 parents, my 2 kids, and my 2 sisters?

I hope you dont take this the wrong way...but

54 people suing on the behalf of 8 dead people?

I can understand the direct family that was at a loss, but extended family suing is wrong.

I believe the injured should sue...but their families? 19 other people trying to get money on the behalf the 10 injured?

People are just greedy
