You have to be kidding me. They need to start making losing plaintiffs pay court fees and the defendant's legal bills. Suddenly suing someone would look less like the lottery.
I hope to God I get a civil trial when I have jury duty. I'm going to make some plaintiff my bitch.
That the post doesn't have very good copy-editors is a surprise to no-one, but Gothamist! I'm so very disappointed.
The train will do what for dogs?!? Break? I have actually seen a subway car completely fall apart when a dog came near it. Seriously the wheels fell off and everything.
Oh wait, the word you were looking for was 'brake'. English will get you every time.
