Craigslist and Freedom Upheld

Posted on Thursday, June 18, 2009 by Ian Drake

Today, a federal NY judge favored on the side of freedom.  He dismissed a $10 million dollar lawsuit against Craigslist brought by a shooting victim.  The shooter, who was crazy, had purchased the gun on Craigslist, thus Craigslist is at fault, right? 

If the gun was purchased out of the trunk of a Ford Taurus at a McDonald's parking lot, does that mean Ford and McDonald's should be sued?

I do feel sorry for the victim, but if this line of thinking wins the day, we'll be living like the North Koreans in a no time.

Here's the full story.

About Me, Ian Drake

I created NotifyWire because I'm crazy about Craigslist and wanted to make buying and selling easier for everyone.

When I'm not working on NotifyWire I'm surfing, fishing, lobstering, clamming, canoeing, or generally messing about in my hometown of Eastham MA.
