Lawsuit against hospital system 3 years after deaths

See post and links in blog post from June 2. Legal Responsibility of Medical Profession. Codified.

People don't sue in these cases of school shootings for money, they sue to get answers. It can take years.

The public may not get answers when settlements are reached. This video article below is with the settlement reached with the school district.

Northfield is fortunate. They could have easily faced lawsuits, and not from the parents of the violent child.

What were they thinking?

Idle threats

It can not happen here.

HIPPA

IDEA

Ignorance?

Indifference

Fear

We can not bring dead people back. And, sometimes these cases just stink of incompetence.

7 years, and yet, some administrstors still ignore the actual warnings.

Back to reality.

If Hallmark ever does a movie on school shootings, they will have "jumped the shark".

I will always support public and private education, but not all the people who work in it.

Some interesting points made in this video.

Prayer vigils turned into a political rally on gun control. Hmm. Where have I personally had a similar experience?

Possible sainthood for the young man who charged the shooter. Catholic Church community rallied for the victim when politicians made it about gun control.

Detailed Planning;

Family trauma and targets.

Transgender issues. Anger, revenge, plotting to kill specific students

Drugs, illicit and prescribed.

Bullying..not an excuse to seek revenge. There are legal routes to follow. So over that excuse.

Criminal trials because the attackers did not die.

Ignored warning signs and abrupt resignation of chief administrator.

Botched security and a promotion.

Dead victim's family still fighting for documentation.

I remember this shooting because of the young man who helped minimize the body count.

Pray for this young man's legacy.

Would you lay down your life for a friend as the young man did?

Shannon Wright did in 1998. I dedicated my book in her memory.
