How do you rub some dirt and get over a decapitation?

Maybe if Kansans held each other to higher standards of accountability they wouldn't kill a kid on a water slide.

You don't get a class action from one decapitation. You need to have a large group of people with the same injuries. Those are the people that shrug it off and don't sue.

Based on the data from the National Center for State Courts, there doesn't appear to be much of a correlation between coastal proximity and the rate of civil cases. http://www.ncsc.org/Sitecore/Content/Microsites/PopUp/Home/C...

What are you talking about? They already settled a civil lawsuit for ~20 million with the park and engineering firms very shortly after it happened. This is the criminal case.

Not sure even the Black Knight could get over a decapitation.
