Family of teen who fell from plane considers lawsuit
The family of the 16-year-old who died after falling out of an airplane says they're considering filing a lawsuit. Anthony Tisdale and Jonette Washington, Delvonte Tisdale's parents, have hired Florida attorney Christopher Chestnut. The family says they hired Chestnut because they were not getting answers about their son's death. (www.charlotteobserver.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I say they should sue the TSA for allowing a security breech. The TSA obviously has tons of money and can' spend it fast enough. Let the idiots on both side battle it out!
No offence Mr. Gibson, I very much agree with Edgar Cayce and I didn't mean to imply there isn't a place for law and attorneys. Let the people make the laws and let attorneys write and argue them.
I did crazy stuff too as a teenager, but probably because I didn't have a father that could teach me discipline and responsibility, or demonstrate the pursuit of a love and passion. This poor kid was probably trying desperately to see/find his father...so sad.

Robert Gibson sorry but your statement that every kid did something "exciting" by age 15 and hence should not be held accountable is frankly very imbecile. We all did stupid things by that age but "boys will always be boys" and hence be allowed to get away with anything, indeed imbecile to the bone. Whether you are 15 or 51 or 101 years old, you have to pay the price for "exciting" forays, and this infortunate kid climbed over a fence, went past airport security guards (all of this being federal offenses guaranteeing at least a couple of months inside the can) and endangered the lifes of 50-100? people by getting inside the wheel well. Very exciting indeed, hope that no other kid will do the same thing next time you take a commercial flight.
The best lawyer story of all time . . .
The United Way realized that it had never received a donation from the city's most successful lawyer. So a United Way volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office.
The volunteer opened the meeting by saying,'Our research shows that even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you don't give a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give something back to your community through the United Way?'
The lawyer thinks for a minute and says,'First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?'
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbles 'Uh . . . No, I didn't know that.'
'Secondly,' says the lawyer, 'did it show that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to support his wife and six children?'
The stricken United Way rep begins to stammer an apology, but is cut off again.
'Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sister's husband died in dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another that has learning
disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?'
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, says, 'I'm so sorry, I had no idea.'
And the lawyer says, 'So . . . If I didn't give any money to them, what makes you think I'd give any to you?'

Ferguson Sam, I’m sorry if I offended you. My purpose was to try to focus this string on the whole picture and not just blame a 15 year old kid. I am more in agreement with you than it appears.
Think on This ...
This is the first lesson ye should learn: There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, it doesn't behoove any of us to speak evil of the rest of us. This is a universal law, and until one begins to make application of same, one may not go very far in spiritual or soul development.

I can also personally promise you that one will never EVER find any system that is foolproof, or anyone ever that hasn't made a mistake.
