In Canada, the counties have their own department to investigate claims against them and make the decision to compensate if needed, without necessarily going through the court. I think the same holds true for some US counties, but not for Habersham, that's currently short on budget for their schools. |

That's really beside the point though. As I've said, ultimately no one, whether it's a government institution/agency or a private citizen, are obligated by law to screw themselves over, regardless of their guilt. There's a reason why the 5th Amendment exists. What some people were asking for amounts to the county forking over money and admit guilt so they can fork over more money later (nevermind that it's actually not their money so much as the taxpayer's money). This is why you either reach an agreement that both side can agree on via a settlement, or have the case be decided through the court. You can't expect one side to simply lay down and provide the other side with the stick to beat it with. Quote:
What this family and other posters are asking for is pure compensation (and an admission of guilt before the trial) that leaves open the opportunity to double dip again, it's simply not going to happen. |

Also important to note is that this isn’t something solely for the county to decide – they can be as proactive as one can be, but I highly doubt anyone in the family’s place would settle for just the medical cost and whatever the county may offer on its own, when they are very likely to get a multi-million dollar settlement with a lawsuit. They know they’re going to get paid, the natural course of action is for them to try to get as much as possible. To do otherwise would be akin to a sports superstar going on free agency taking the first lowball offer they get. Quote:
My point in all of this tbh is just to point out that the county’s decision is both rational and reasonable given their obligations and the situation. |

Oh look! It's that time of the year again. It's time for more saber-rattling in Asia. Honestly, we should ignore this kind of news. We all know that both sides ( US and China ) never want to go anywhere further than this. I'm actually bored with this kind of China's act unless they try something new like " shooting at a fishinf ship with military ship ".

*Using Brian Blessed's tone of voice* Too much lead like the bloody Romans of old perhaps? When China will be given enough rope until they still hang themselves with it, then they better not blame anyone for their misfortunes. All great countries get burned at some point in history when not careful. |
