Kangaroo Court Finds Port Authority More to Blame Than Terrorists for 1993 WTC Bombing
It took awhile, but the lunatic asylums that pass for our courts have figured out who was to blame for Islam's first attempt to bring down the World Trade Center in 1993. The culprit wasn't Muslim terrorists. It was the Port Authority.
A state appeals court ruled on Tuesday that the Port Authority was liable for damages caused by the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, because it knew about but chose to ignore "an extreme and potentially catastrophic vulnerability that would have been open and obvious to any terrorist who cared to investigate and exploit it."
The ruling unanimously upheld a jury's verdict that the agency was 68 percent liable for the bombing and the terrorists 32 percent liable. Under state rules, because the Port Authority's liability was more than 50 percent, it can be forced to pay all the damages to injured survivors and to relatives of those killed.
This makes perfect sense in light of how difficult it can be to collect massive settlements when suing terrorists. How convenient for terrorists that even when their bombs don't bring a building down, they can just sit back and wait for us to destroy ourselves with lawsuits.
On a tip from b1bbet.

We could get hit by a wayward comet or asteroid with little or no warning.
Clearly, there is negligence in not doing more to prevent such a castrophe.
Should I line up my legal team now and beat the rush just in case the unthinkable happens?

We'll be living under Shria law by then or maybe we'll be executed by then for loving freedom.

As an attorney, I'm seldom shocked by the absurdities that come out of our courts. That being said, please allow me to state that this is the dumbest f---ing thing I've ever heard. The terrorists were 32% liable for a terrorist attack? By this logic, the meth-smoking goblin who breaks in and kills your wife is 32% responsible, and you're 68% responsible for not putting a reinforced-steel door on your house. Who were the jurors in the original trial case, and where did the attorneys find 12 people that gullible?
