Looks like the loser got off Scott free to me!

Only because the winner agreed to let them off if they didn't pursue an appeal. That's called using leverage to negotiate. I bet others will think twice before filing such a suit. Sometimes one has to consider the bigger picture and not be too narrowly focused.

Go ahead, losers, appeal. Convert your $700k bill to $1.4M. Sometimes you need to drive the point home.

Apparently, they did what they thought was right for them.

This is awesome! I haven't been keeping up with this thread lately. It's great to see that my 16 year old son is able to get so many "adults" thinking and discussing such important issues. He is highly intelligent, moral and in tune with what is going on in the world. I would say more so than most other kids his age.

For the record, I did not correct him. We used his thoughts and questions as an opportunity to discuss, learn and grow. It was a very interesting discussion. It's amazing how he is able to discuss his thoughts and questions with so much more maturity than some adults.

By the way, he never said Obama was behind it even though we discussed the possibility of someone in his administration, a liberal anti-gun organization or a nutjob that had a gun control agenda could have carried out or facilitated this tragic event in order to bring gun control to the forefront before the election. He is also the one that came up with the question regarding the timing of the event being somewhat interesting considering the pending vote on the UN Small Arms Treaty. That was a very thought provoking idea that I hadn't thought of and appreciated him bringing it to my attention. Bottomline, he made no specific accusations that anyone other than an individual nut job was behind this tragedy. He just brought up some interesting potential "motives" and possible conspirators that could have been involved.

Thanks Mr. Cotton and others for responding on my son's behalf. It is much appreciated.

I never considered that our government would sell guns to the Mexican drug cartels. Come to find out... well, you know the story.

Editor's Note: An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

I don't think anything Obama says at 10am, or any other time, interesting.

I bet you'll find it of interest when more of his plan to disarm you and make you a ward of the state comes to light. I can say that he and I agree on little to nothing. However, I am interested in learning more about his schemes so I can do my part to counter them.

My sixteen year old just mentioned he wouldn't be surprised to find out this was staged/orchestrated by the anti libs to help promote their gun control agenda. Interesting thought considering what we've learned about "fast and furious" and what the UN is up to. Interesting timing to say the least. Especially considering the supposed links to the Tea Party.

Not trying to jump to conclusions or promote a vast conspiracy theory based speculation. Just some food for thought. It will be interesting to hear what Obama has to say at 10 this morning.
