Couple Called 911 After ‘Disoriented’ Woman Knocked on Their Door. She Froze to Death While Waiting for Help to Arrive: Lawsuit

[EvilCat Breath]

Legally. No

Ethically and morally he’s a piece of shit

So......

 

[EvilCat Breath]

I never claimed that. You claimed that if they offered any help they could be held responsible which is false. Go back to school and learn how to read.

If they offered any help they COULD be held responsible, which, incidentally, is exactly what you said. They could, not would, not must, COULD.

Learn to ******* read! My God, are you senile, demented or just plain old retarded?

They cannot be held responsible for aiding the person. Read the part I quoted on your linked information.

It says: The Good Samaritan may be held liable if they are negligent in providing those services or if their negligence causes injury either to the person on whose behalf the Good Samaritan is performing services or to a foreseeable third party.

Key on the words in orange. Do you know what those words mean?

No matter how many times you want liability free aid, it doesn't say that. Injury resulting from negligently provided aid is actionable. Of course intentional injury will always be either criminal or tort. However you have YET to show something that says failure to render aid is actionable..

You obviously cannot read orange text, yet you used it in your post. How is that possible?

I never said that failure to render aid is actionable. You claimed that any assistance made them liable which I proved is not true. Do I need to quote what you said again so you can have a child read it to you?

Does your diploma say "Special education" somewhere on it? Make sure that child doesn't have an IEP for reading before having them read it for you.

Having a mental condition is not an excuse for what happened.

In fact the cops at LEAST… should have realized that and dealt with it accordingly

The guy who locked her out in the cold is just pure shit

Ok, do you want to shoot the 9-11 operator, the cops or the people in the apartment?

Or just throw them all in prison?

Its not a perfect world we live in and no one is to blame for a series of accidents that added up to the woman’s death

 

[Jarlaxle]

I would have helped in some way.

And I think poorly of anyone else who wouldn't have, even if I can acknowledge the initial reluctance.

It's not worth the risk. It's a high risk-low reward gamble.

It's the state of the world we live in today. You hear all the time of people helping strangers - then those strangers killing the good samaritans.
Myself - I would have realized the situation of a young woman freezing to death and would had got her out of the cold until help arrived. But, I can understand why many people would be hesitant.

Or a man helping a woman and getting accused of something. Not worth the risk.

Legally there is no obligation to help anyone. Now had the they helped her and she died of unknown causes, they would be fully responsible.

Or had she accused them of assaulting her.

You are a scared little man.

No, he is prudent.

How much trouble would it have been to call a neighbor? Some of us aren't afraid of those (to me, unrealistic) consequences.

I'm not afraid. I have simply done a rational cost-benefit analysis.

 

[Delldude]

Shoulda -woulda -coulda

I sense fear. Regardless, call someone else who might just help the poor woman.

Maybe you could have found a way to help the poor freezing woman from behind your keyboard.

That would have been better than explaining to yourself from the inside the door, while she froze. . . why you shouldn't.

What part of, "It's not worth the risk," isn't sinking through that thick skull?

What part of "there is no risk in seeing if someone else might want to help" is not sinking in to You?

Work on reading comprehension. Yours sucks rocks.

It's AK, people there are "different".

Case in point:

I shipped a item to AK I sold through eBay using USPS Priority Mail.

I get a "where's my widget" message a week or so later.

I called up the tracking and it had arrived at the guy's PO three days before. I messaged him that it was at his PO.

Out of curiosity I looked up the PO.....It was at the edge of a lake at a trading post type of place.

There was not a state road within about 80 miles. Just a dirt road around the lake with cabins spotted along it. I guess they flew the people and mail in or some shit.

So FU AK and your place away from it all type of people.....I quit shipping to AK and HI.

.

They definitely are different.

I won't argue with you there.

Work on your short fuse and patience.

No I said that any aid could render them liable your quote says may render them liable. My diploma says juris doctorate.

Do you really expect us to believe that?
