Who Is He Really Representing?

A Connecticut lawyer wants to sue the state over the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting.

Irving Pinsky says the state failed to provide a safe setting.

He's pursuing 100 million dollars in damages on behalf of an unidentified 6 year old girl who survived the massacre.


So.... who is Pinsky really representing? 

Does anyone really believe that the State of Connecticut is responsible for the actions of Adam Lanza?  I am certain that even Pinsky does not believe this. His claim is nothing more than a further victimization of those families that lost their loved ones and those poor souls who were lost on that day.

Even if Pinsky prevails and the surviving victim and the families of the 26 fatalities split the potential award, Pinsky himself would stand to receive the standard 1/3 attorney compensation.

Is Pinsky attempting to provide a balm for the families? Is he taking a stance that would help to curb the possibility of future violence? Or is he merely taking a stab at the possibility of receiving $33,000,000 personally? 

Some form of gun control may or may not be a partial answer to this epidemic of mass murder.  Civil suit reform on the other hand would at least protect society from the passive/agressive psychotics like Pinsky who prey on the misfortune of the victims by pretending to represent them. 

I offer this.. curbing nefarious lawsuits, irresponsible media, and greedy partisan politicians may not curb gun violence, but it sure would make this a better country.

Meanwhile, Pinsky is as sick as Adam Lanza and should be disbarred.
