Trash company is going to somehow use this to justify the killings

Remington Arms, the maker of the AR-15 rifle that was used in the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, has subpoenaed the report cards, attendance records, and disciplinary records of five children killed in the shooting, according to court documents.

That filing revealed that Remington’s lawyers subpoenaed the Newtown Public School District seeking “application and admission paperwork, attendance records, transcripts, report cards, disciplinary records, correspondence” and other school records of the children.

“There is no conceivable way that these [records] will assist Remington in its defense, and the plaintiffs do not understand why Remington would invade the families’ privacy with such a request,” lawyers for the families said in a court filing.

Thought transcripts weren't allowed to be shared based on FERPA? Did Remington bypass this with a court order?

I don't see the problem here. Hard to judge any situation without knowing the history of the individuals involved.

Terrible. These parent have been through enough. Between their kids getting slaughtered by some anorexic sick little piece of shit, to Alex Jones and his moron followers harassing them. This is a pointless and evil thing to do.

Because it's actually relevant. Little bit of a difference.

Welp, the parents opened a lawsuit against Remington. They decided to enter the arena.

I mean what did they expect? They are suing sooooo…….

 

[nostradumbass]

How does suing Remington even make sense? Are they claiming the gun malfunctioned?

So if a company is getting sued it gives their attorneys carte blanche to act like raging fuckfaces?

it gives them the right to defend themselves in whatever legal way they feel is appropriate to do that

 

[Strychnine]

Pathetic.

 

[Limbo Pete]

Pathetic.

Truly, truly pathetic. Hideously pathetic.

You could have saved time by just typing "yes".

Or if you read past the headline and outrage you see that in cases like these it's standard practice to gather information on the victims in order to help put a dollar amount on those lives (which is was the plaintiffs are trying to do).

It's a delaying tactic meant to waste time and the opposing sides resources. Draw things out long enough and the will and money to.fight disappears.

It's a stupid lawsuit anyways though, so meh.

 

[deadshot138]

I'm sorry for their loss but this lawsuit is fucking retarded. Do people sue car companies when someone intentionally mows someone down? Remington is in no way responsible for what happened at Sandy Hook. And it's not unconscionable to try and obtain student records in this case. What if someone's trying to be a plaintiff and their kid wasn't even enrolled in Sandy Hook?

Sure. The same court that allows a lawsuit like this, that should have been blocked by PLCAA, should allow the defendant to take the low road to defend themselves legally.

They made it about money, now they are making it about money. Surprise, surprise...
