Is his lawyer thing our country has gotten "This Liberal"?

Nov. 15) -- A driver convicted of manslaughter for killing a 14-year-old Connecticut boy is suing the victim's parents for negligence, claiming they let their son ride his bike on a busy road without a helmet.

The Associated Press reports that David Weaving, who is serving a 10-year sentence for slamming his car into Matthew Kenney, is suing Kenney's parents for $15,000 for causing him "great mental and emotional pain and suffering" and inhibiting his "capacity to carry on in life's activities."

The unusual claim is a countersuit. Last year, Matthew's parents, Stephen and Joanne Kenney, sued 48-year-old Weaving for $15,000 for negligence in their son's death.

Matthew Kenney, shown here in an undated photo, was killed in April 2007 when he was hit by a car.
Joanne Kenney, 42, said Weaving's suit was "unbelievable," according to the AP. "It drags the pain on," she said. "It's a constant reminder. Enough is enough. Can you just leave us alone and serve your time?"

According to police and prosecutors, her son Matthew was riding his bike in Prospect, Conn., on April 27, 2007, when Weaving struck him while driving 83 mph, killing the boy. The speed limit on the road was 45 mph.

Weaving, who was convicted of manslaughter in Kenney's death in December 2008, has chosen to represent himself in the civil suit but could not be reached for comment today. He has been arrested five times for drunken driving in the past two decades, but was not convicted of drunken driving in the accident that caused Kenney's death.

Lawyers for the Kenneys did not immediately return calls for comment today.

I think he meant, "Does his lawyer think our country has gotten 'this liberal'?" with "liberal" being used as a generic pejorative.

I interpreted it as "Is his lawyer thinking our country has gotten 'This Liberal'?" .... but what I think he meant was
"WTF?"

Why would he think that? The scumbag is the "lawyer," so trying to make an statement out of this regarding liberals is fairly stupid.

At 83mph, the helmet would not have change the outcome one bit.

Perhaps they can counter-counter-sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

How can you be so sure (unless you know the details of the accident, and exactly how he was struck and by what)? A friend of mine had an accident at that speed and his life was saved by his helmet.

Not supporting the suit mind you as I'm a hardliner on DUI's and feel very strongly that multiple offenders need to be completely removed from driving. In my perfect world, after that many you do whatever it takes to keep them off the road. He should have gotten 10 years for the 3rd DUI.

what does it mean to you, so that you found it offensive? , is a better question!

[DanG 1]

I don't find it offensive. I quoted you and asked a question. If you can't answer it, just say so.

To me, "liberal" represents a political ideology. You said that it represents more than that, and I want to know what you mean.

You didn't like the answer because it didn't lend it's self to the trap you were cleverly planning for him to step into. Check

SO, you say there is no content where there is OBVIOUSLY content, because you replied to it, unless you believe that you replied to a completely wordless post.

And now, to use Amazons words, you are all Butt Hurt.

Does that pretty much cover it?

The OP included a derogatory statement about liberal lawyers. When called on it, you said that liberal means more than a political philosophy. I asked what you meant. If you saw my question as an attack, that's your bag.

Not everyone is out to get you.

BTW, I think the guy (and his lawyer, who is himself) is a total douchebag.

You forgot, "And then turtle jumps in and cheerleads for his buddy, also providing no original thought."

BTW, he didn't answer my question. I asked what "liberal" meant besides a political philosophy to him. He quoted the dictionary. There was no original content.

Maybe 8:30 in the morning is too early for you to be posting...like the original posting, it's hard to figure out what the fuck you're talking about. It's not English.

It seems like your BP jumps 30 pts at hearing the word "liberal."

I called you on your calling me, on "Liberal Lawyers", being the problem, then stated Liberal has more than one meaning, you asked me what that was, I told you....

I'm not sure where you got lost ,.....

Only a Liberal Judge will allow this assclown his day in court!
