This is disgusting.  She won the lawsuit, can you believe it? Another sign of society going down the tubes.

Someone should've snuck up behind her in court and throw ice cubes down her back. That'd give her a proper panic attack and hopefully get rid of the stupid *****.

[Fineus]

Gotta go with Vyper on this one... the idea that the girls scared her into hospital is laughable. The girls should return and do something actually unpleasent to her at some stage, she really deserves it.

This is BULL****.
Surely they will appeal the results.

[TrashMan]

the sheer depths of stupidity....

Only in USA.....

[IceFire]

Total bull****.

[aldo_14]

I believe the appropriate expresison is 'what the ****?!'

I'm too lazy to write it again, so I'll quote myself from another forum.

This is why I love Canada. Something like this wouldnt fly in court here. The judge would just say "Quit wasting my time you dolt" and that would be the end of it.

[Ghostavo]

If this wasn't sad I would be laughing my arse off...

What's sadder, this being real or us believing in this?

Yeah....good one.

Like the Americans that sued the Canadian government because they thought they got a cold by touring the parliament buildings.  That lasted all of 10 seconds...

[castor]

One more glorious victory for Justice!

[Tiara]

Here such a case wouldn't even go to court in the first place. In many other countries it would never have gone to court either

I really don't know why such cases are even accepted into the court in America. Seriously

[karajorma]

I've always said that the correct response to any such stupid case is to invent an even more ridiculous counter claim and sue for the exact same amount.

For instance these two girls should have sued for their pain and suffering from the woman not eating their cookies.

It has my gamer handle in the article...

A Durango judge Thursday awarded Young almost $900 to recoup[/U] her medical bills. She received nothing for pain and suffering.

[Corsair]

[FireCrack]

People that do this should get a massive sentance.

[Nico]

She thought perhaps they were [...] some neighbors she had tangled with in the past, she said.

I wonder how's that possible????

*****.

Only in USA, yeah, but I have to add, I think only in USA I'd see 18 years old girls coming at my place to offer cookies. that's a nice thought Guess it will never happen again tho

[icespeed]

maybe she was a recent outpatient from the psych ward at the local hospital, suffering from mild schizophrenia (one symptom of which is paranoia).

... well, it's possible.

If I ever have a frivelous lawsuit against me, I will remember this.

[Nico]

What bothers me is not that she sued, it's that she won
