"We're just gonna sue the dogshit out of everyone"

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed by the loved ones of three Black people killed in a racially-motivated shooting in August at a Dollar General in Jacksonville, Florida, accusing the bargain discount chain store and the gunman's parents of negligence. 

The lawsuit was filed in a Florida court, accusing the retailer of failing to take measures to keep customers and employees safe. It also accuses the parents of the suspected gunman, Ryan Christopher Palmeter, of failing to protect the public from "reasonably foreseeable criminal acts which were likely to be committed by their son."

Sorry, but I doubt Dollar General is any more 'negligent' than any other store as far as security goes, and how in the hell are parents responsible for their 21 year old adult son's decision?
