What isn't mentioned is that the boy was 14 years old. What the hell was a 14 year old doing riding a 125cc motorbike anywhere?, let alone a private car park while being watched by his parents. Open and shut case in my opinion - he was riding illegally on a bike too big for him and was riding it recklessly.
Oh but the chain was difficult to see, ah, then he's clearly blameless, and his parents shouldn't be strung up for allowing their boy to endanger himself and others in a public place.
It makes me sick. Then I see illiterate teenage mothers on the telly harping on about how it's a 'des-grays' that they don't get free hand outs, just because they can't keep their pikey legs closed for more than five minutes.
Also in the paper earlier this week - woman sues a funeral directors for suffering 'trauma' from dealing with dead bodies for 20 years. I'll run that by you again - twenty (20) years. Wouldn't you think that after say, ooooooh, 6 months, you might think "hmmmm, don't think this is for me" ... ? Nope, she obviously thought "This is horrible, I just don't think I can carry on. I'll carry on for another 19 years or so though, just to make sure."
Such claims should be a crime. A punishable, fine-able crime. Mister and Missus Tax Payer happily pay into the system, completely oblivious to the fact that (and this is also 100% true), a man who had a sex change has sued the health service because he had faulty advice. He claims that doctors should have talked him out of it.
That's fair enough though isn't it? The poor fella/woman/parasite, bless ...
Ah, the sweet sensation of boiling blood ...

Of course, but are you telling me you're quite comfortable having 82oC water on your skin?

Wow, that's a foolish blanket statement.
Does this mean that because you drop a piece of litter, go slightly over the speed limit, urinate on the side of the motorway after during a long trip (where there is nowhere else to go unless you want to moisten your Calvin Kleins), or maybe just bang some bird before you are 16 mean you should lose all your rights, be locked up with no-one but Bubba the shower king and Dringo for company and be subject to the whim of a judge?
NO

That's still excessive ^^
And ANYONE on the wrong side of the law loses their rights? Please please please please think before you say such stuff. I.e, you park on double yellow, you have no rights at all? Trivial yes, but please think before say such a stupid comment.
Some do, most don't.
TADA!
> 180o is probably a bit excessive.
No way is that celsius, it'd probably melt the plastic cups. Since it's America, it's more likely to be 180F, which is about 82oC.`
I'm with you on this one the fine is wrong. Anyone doing anything illegal should have no rights at all, it's like the burglar who sued that farmer because he shot him and used legal aid to do it.
It's stupid cases like this that lead to things such as a warning on packets of peanuts that say "Warning, contains nuts".
