Survivors of Buffalo Supermarket Shooting are Suing Social Media, Gun Companies

I just came across this story as I wondered whatever happened to the shooter. I also wonder how long he will survive in the Prison Justice System. I hope this POS gets what he deserves. Just watching the video of the sentencing in the courtroom I can feel the pain of the families.

So this &&&*(*&* rolls into Buffalo, New York from some unremarkable rural town almost 200 miles away into a specific supermarket. I get how he found that supermarket but whom "groomed" him? His parents, relatives or someone else? Based on the lawsuit can you figure it out by deductive reasoning? You have three choices as presented above.

Correct as there is more to this than just some white *(&^ dressing up and gunning down people. The week it happened I was personally asked to see if there was a connect to a "site" located near his home and connect with a person of interest in another state. There was and is a connect and I relayed my information to the white hats in USA government.

Survivors if Buffalo Supermarket

I sincerely hope our Federal Agencies get er done

That was my hometown and I am sickened by this and all whom lost their lives.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Sixteen survivors of a 2022 mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket filed a lawsuit Tuesday in New York's Erie County Supreme Court against social media companies, the manufacturers of the shooter's weapons and body armor and the shooter's parents.

The 22-count lawsuit alleges that Mean LLC, Vintage Firearms, RMA Armament, Alphabet and its subsidiaries Google and YouTube, Reddit and the parents of the shooter Paul and Pamela Gendron failed to act and prevent the mass shooting from occurring.

Eric Tirschwell, executive director for Everytown Law, the legal arm for nonprofit Everytown for Gun Safety, said the case involves the intersection of racism, racial hatred and gun violence empowered by the "reckless practices by members of the gun industry." The defendants are being represented by Everytown Law; Ryder Law Firm; and the Law Offices of Bonner and Bonner.

How the hell can a gun company have any idea that a purchaser will use the gun for something bad ?
You’ll have to sue the car maker for every crime involving a car, or the knife maker for every knife crime.
A legal product, made and sold in lawful processes.
Hell, we could sue grocery stores every time somebody chokes on food, or dies from obesity related problems.
More retardation keeps rolling in.

You have the wrong mind set here, the only time the tool used to commit a crime is to blame when it involves a gun.

Cars don't cause vehicular homicides, spoons don't make people fat, pencils don't misspell words, knifes don't cut people on their own.

All of these things require human interaction, but yet, they are never to blame for the result of the actions they are used for. But, one cannot use logic when it comes to firearms of any nature. I mean FFS, the POTUS made the comment that an AR will "blow your lungs out" if you were shot by them. That right there shows us just how little they know, and they don't care.

Guns, on their own without any sort of human interaction, have never killed someone on their own. Yet, we live in a time where politicians use that as their "hill to die on" to render the citizens of the US defenseless to the tyranny that they will soon lead.

You going to sue silverware companies for making you fat?

a reply to: Waterglass

I got hit by a car once.

I'm suing Ford.

Heck we should start suing the government in that case , for purposely destroying the US within and causing widespread loss of income, depression, homelessness, etc . Class action lawsuit here we come !

The state of Michigan's DNR won't compensate you when a deer hits your car, yet they are paid to keep track of the deer herd and hunters have to pay for a license to hunt them. My friend believed you could get them to pay up and used to say, "If a deer hits your car, call the DNR". I don't think that would work but maybe it would if I sued the deer instead of the DNR. Seems like the same kind of logic if the DNR is responsible for managing the deer herd.

I am truly deeply sorry to the families for the loss of those murdered or maimed. But suing gun manufacturers isn't the answer. Social media???? Okaaay. Well. No. Just no.

It's so crazy. Why not sue the bullet manufacturers? After all, the gun only helps deliver the killing agent. If there were no bullets, the guns wouldn't be near so dangerous. If one were poisoned by injection of a toxic substance would you sue the syringe company?

But, I'm going to sue my stove manufacturer, JenAir; Amazon for selling and delivering my plates, the plate manufacturer and the silverware manufacturer. Then I'm going to sue the grocery store for selling me the food and then the manufacturers of the common foods I purchase. Then I'm going to sue the people who produce and farm and ranch the food. Then I'm going to sue the companies that advertise foods, especially fast foods, for enticing and encouraging me to eat bad foods and more of them.

Boy, won't they all be taught a lesson!!!! And I'm gonna be RICH!

People want to sue something or someone. Why not sue the parents of the guy for making such a horrendous human, or if he was in a doctor's care sue the doctor for not stopping all this?

We just had friends whose son was in a bad car accident. All were underage drunk (19/20 years old) and the driver was racing doing 100 and hit a tree. This was sad, but not surprising as all these parents just let their kids do what they wanted for years on end.

Now they are all going after the parents of the kid that drove, and the parents of the kid who had a party while the parents were not home, and they were heading to another house to continue the party. I told a friend that it could have happened 100 times with any one of those kids and it just happened to be this one because ALL the parents of this group let their kids drink and drive anytime they wanted.

They should sue the grandparents for raising kids that would one day become parents who let their kids drink.

Ford once made a car called the "Probe", and as a possible alien abduction survivor, I'm offended. I'll join that lawsuit. Feelings matter more than sense. An impeachment hearing taught me that.


To the point of this thread:

The problem here is that by enabling people to conduct themselves without subjecting them to personal responsibility being enforced, everyone suffers the consequences of the overly zealous governmental bodies looking to strap shock-collars on society. Don't blame the problem, blame the prop in the drama.

We really should have a law that states that it is okay to slap stupid people in the face.

The rabbit hole is deep....

a reply to: DBCowboy

I respect you DB but you just ran over 16 families. I cant support that.

a reply to: watchitburn

I don't support what they ate doing but they are doing this for closure along with the fact that said Social Media sites are monitored by Federal employees.

Possibly that's where its headed

a reply to: Waterglass

There was no disrespect there, imo.

He was making the comparison that the manufacturer has no fault in this shooting. They don't get tot control who buys their product, just as Ford can't be held liable for someone buying a Focus and running over 1,000 people.

Suing the gun mfg will only accomplish one thing; wasting everyone's time and money.

a reply to: Waterglass

no closure will come from suing an entity that carries no fault for what happened.

a reply to: PorkChop96

I am taking a difference spin on this as did the Feds have any input as to who was allowed to by the gun. Same as for Social Media

a reply to: stevieray

Hell, we could sue grocery stores every time somebody chokes on food, or dies from obesity related problems.

Aren't we already there with mis addressing a transgender.

a reply to: Waterglass

Not really following with what you are trying to say here....

SM has no say over who buys a gun

The feds, yes have a say, but if under the law he was legally able to buy that gun, there is nothing they could have done different. Unless eh was being investigated by the feds at any point they could have stopped what happened.

But again, same as if someone with a mental disorder goes and buys a car with the purpose of running people over are you going to sue the dealer and the car mfg?
