Will anyone ever sue De Santis the death of their loved one?

[Kablooie]

It could be someone who lost someone to Covid or someone who could not get proper care because of Covid patients clogging the system.
Sure seems like there's a case their somewhere.

1. Someones should sure go after the murderous governors,

but not easy, I suppose, to garner the necessary emotional attributes.

[NJCher]

6. Could you expand on that a bit

Emotional attributes

[elleng]

10. Family members devastated by loss would need to develop determination to sue,

which requires energy to focus, as well as group/family cohesion; difficult at such a time. (Concentrating on desatan and abbott, and diverting energy from mourning; not sure I could do it.)

Funds are also necessary to pay for suit; such litigation takes a lot of resources.

[NJCher]

13. Ok I see

I was wondering if a certain amount of emotional distress was what you meant.

Re diverting energy from mourning, that might come later, as the people devastated by these losses move through the stages of grief.

Litigation is a huge consumer of resources. Still, people do it. How I don’t know, as I don’t think I could. Look, for example, at sandy hook.

2. This is where a recall is really needed. Or, maybe, just take him out back and go to town.

[NJCher]

14. I cannot believe

Newsom is facing a recall and this nutcase is free to wreak his devastation.

[Phoenix61]

19. Sadly, Florida does not have a provision to recall

it’s elected officials. Fingers crossed this toasts his political career.

3. They Would Be Wasting Their Money

They're not going to get any judgement in the screwed up state of FL.

DeSatan is the chosen one. The public are not going to hold him accountable.

CNN had a story about it tonight. Despite all he's done, he still has strong support in FL, and the majority want him to run for President.

7. Just wait until the students start dying

Snip
Throughout Florida's 15 largest school districts, at least 11,851 students and 2,610 employees have tested positive for Covid-19, amounting to more than 14,461 confirmed cases since the school districts started keeping track of cases for the 2021-22 school year, according to a CNN analysis.

20. He won by less than 0.5%.

He may have strong support with the Trumpsters but he’s despised by a lot of people. Currently, there are more children attending schools with mask mandates than without mandates. This is in open defiance of DeSatan and his threats to withhold funding.

Liberal Media My Ass

4. Elected officials are pretty much insulated against the consequences of their policies...

Not absolutely, but if there's even the slightest bit of room for an argument about incompetence or ignorance or differences of political philosophy leading to the outcome in question, then there's almost no chance of such a suit succeeding.

It would have to be an abuse of power or civil rights violation sort of suit, I think, and be rather specific as to the particular victim, not a general or stochastic thing.

5. Kristi Noem needs to be held responsible for the Sturgis Superspreader Rally.

South Dakota just experienced a 350% increase in Covid infections, and these bike-riding Typhoid Marys took the virus home to their respective states.

[NJCher]

9. Yes

There was a map posted here showing some figures but prof gac did some rudimentary figures on it and it turned out to be not credible.

I hope a good one will be published because this is important.

[Mike Niendorff]

16. Not to mention the organizers and promoters.

Negligence would seem to be a slam-dunk. Any attorneys reading this thread?

[SoCalDavidS]

21. As I Said About FL, Same Goes For SD

Good luck with holding her accountable for ANYTHING.

[multigraincracker]

8. Not a lawyer, but my understanding is that

One may bring a suit to court on anything. However, winning is another story.

[elleng]

12. Right

[SoCalDavidS]

22. Every Lawyer Would Agree With You

They'll also take any case if they can make a buck off it.

[Old Crank]

11. These state governors

Need to be charged with mass murder. Unfortunately they are shielded by case law from being directly held responsible for their willful actions.

[Greybnk48]

23. Even something an idiot would view as

depraved indifference to the facts, causing mass illness and death? They use it on Law and Order.

[captain queeg]

15. It's really a shame that they'd probably have a hard time winning any judgement

Though maybe a high profile lawsuit could end his political aspirations.

[FBaggins]

17. No. He would be immune from such a suit

Bad policy decisions don’t create civil liability or no one would ever serve

[Effete Snob]

18. Correct

All sorts of policy decisions have life and death consequences. Raising speed limits increases traffic deaths, for example. But there is this weird “lawsuit as vehicle to redress whatever I’m upset about” fixation.
