Hey, some of them may have to move to a neighboring police station :(

Right? This title is ridiculous.

I believe we are just witnessing more of what has been going on the entire time. It was likely much worse before, too: now they know there is at least some likelihood of there being video evidence of their crimes.

I’m assuming the front of the store lacked safety bollards to stop vehicles from entering thru the giant glass entrance.

People travel all over the country all the time. I live in a rural area and most of the people I know regularly leave the state on vacation. Leaving the country on the other hand is quite rare though because it can be expensive. I get what you're saying though. Problem with a lot of Americans is simply political and a product of team mentality. The people here lack critical thinking and that's true everywhere in the country. The truth is our whole country is a shit hole pretending to be something it's not. We were told this is the greatest country ever and a good chunk of the population believes it even though its far from the truth.

There may be problems at the state level which is being displayed proudly by the Southern states right now but a conservative visiting a progressive state isn't going to change their way of thinking. That goes vise versa as well. Every state has its problems and bad policy but the whole team mentality prevents the masses from using any critical thinking to do things in their best interests.

I may be wrong but I don't think your typical cocky American is going to have an epiphany and change their way of thinking by vacationing in another country. It's also pretty exspensive and difficult to move to another country as well even for people that have a decient amount of money for that to change their world views. Because believe me, if I was able I would gladly leave the USA and never come back if I could easily move to one of the select countries on my list of better places to be.

That’s their opinion. There’s more that disagree.

Pay to defend the case or cash the victims out for less, it's always math when it comes to litigation

It's not about Apple or the plaza ownership themselves, it's the survivors or their insurance trying to get some money for the hospital bills. Obviously you can sue the driver but it's going to be hard to collect if everyone sues him.

> The new murder charge moves the case to Brockton Superior Court, where he will be arraigned at a later date, prosecutors said. The district attorney’s office did not explain why Rein was charged with murder.

Huh. Wonder if they collected evidence like texts or a recorded conversation where he admitted to wanting to ram the store with his car but not wanting to kill anyone. 2nd degree is risky without some evidence to that effect.

Imagine, had a guy not been testing his new camcorder, the L.A. race riots may not have happened at that time and Rodney King's abusers would not have even been charged (I believe they were each acquitted but being charged was a baby step in the right direction).

The driver doesn’t even have his 4Runner anymore. Not gonna get a whole lot from him. Apple has over $50B cash on hand. Lawyers look for the deepest pockets.

Most shit these days doesn't.

Because they have money.

I completely understand rural and poor areas in other countries not having the ability to travel/vacation. We're talking about the US where people are proud of their ignorance. A lot of people in the US have access to someone with a car. I'm not going to say travel is cheap, but honestly it would smooth over some of the problems at the state level people have if they saw how much better/worse other states had it. It's very easy to get stuck in their bubble and think there is something wrong with all the people complaining about local issues.

A lawsuit against Apple cos they didn’t install barriers that stop big cars?

I mean I’m not a capitalist but what are businesses supposed to do? This could have happened at a bakery run by middle class people. Should they have spent money to protect themselves from cars?

I have dined outdoors at restaurants in downtown areas where someone is parallel parking three feet away from me while I’m drinking beer. If they get their shit wrong and hit me and if I survive, I’m not going after the restaurant. I chose to sit at that table. There’s nothing the restaurant could have done to stop an atrocious driver.

If Apple has to pay up, in theory it would mean every business establishment has the responsibility to fortify their store from car crashes.

Exactly. I used my example because you can lose your cool trying to take care of someone. Caretaker fatigue is real and who suffers more than people whose entire jobs are doing that. But those people are still held to higher standards. Police officers should be held to even higher standards because they also have the power to end lives just because they lose their cool. So let's start with the same high standards to start and go from there.

>Several victims have filed lawsuits against the owner of the property, the developer, the management of the property, Apple and Rein, alleging negligence.

Why the owner, developer, management, or Apple? That doesn't make any sense...?

I’m glad people like them. I just have no interest personally.
