    Keep them coming. I hope the Pretti and Good’s families are taking notes.

    By the way, they are also open to slander and/or libel along with the media that tries to pass off their lies as the truth.

    None of this brings your loved ones back, but it is still very much worth doing anyway. These people are scumbags and any dollar you can take from them is a dollar they can’t use to do further harm. Hit these asshole Trump losers in the only way they understand: their “taxpayer dollars.”

    Wrongful death… Man, they’re some twisted words to use as a stand-in for murder.

      It’s some US legal language that I never managed to understand. If I were to hypothesize a rationale, I would guess that in some cases death is unavoidable and even necessary, but in this case said death wasn’t.

        Wrongful death is a civil case where you are suing for damages. Murder is a criminal case requires someone like the attorney general to bring the charges against them

        Anyone can sue anyone at any time but criminal cases require the government to be willing to pursue it
