People see the Tiananmen Square photo where the lone protester blocks the way of a tank and instead of realizing the power of that event and all it means they just think to copy cat it.

Another point is that eventually someone was repaired to kill as the protesters were eventually slaughtered.

That kid could have been road kill.

Even Arthur Dent couldn't keep bulldozers from demolishing his home (let alone his planet) by getting in the way.

I'm pleasantly surprised that the 9th (of all courts!) said the lawsuit couldn't go forward.

I also agree with you that they sidestepped the actual issue of this, in that a company has no control how their product is used, so therefore is not responsible for how the product is used. There is precedent here - the gun manufacturers being relieved of responsibility when someone uses one of their products to commit a crime. If Colt and S&W aren't responsible, how is Caterpiller responsible.

Rachel was foolish, and because of that, was BIG news here in Seattle - for a time. I didn't even know about the 9th's decision until I saw your post. Not a peep in the local MSM rags, or on TV.
