Another Katrina lawsuit...but this one has some validity

I'm very hesitant to support any lawsuit and honestly, this is no different. The wrong can't be righted, so why make it an issue?

Still, I have to agree that this was pretty ridiculous. Do you remember this woman?



It's the woman from Hurricane Katrina who had died slumped over in her wheelchair and was left there, just outside the convention center with just a poncho covering her face, for four days (along with a body that was in a bag next to her).

Her son is suing the city and state.

I intended to read the article and post this as a scathing criticism of another frivolous lawsuit. However, as I read the article and tried to put myself in his shoes, I think I'd have been pretty upset over some of the details. Sure, she was 91 and was probably about ready to die. It just seems like there are details that should have gone differently. Way differently.

I still don't think he should sue. I just don't think it's right. It accomplishes little or nothing. But you've got to admit: if you were in his shoes, you'd be pretty upset too.
