If Ari Kraft's family can sue the MTA, can Brian Barrett's family sue the internet?

I know that stretch of LIRR tracks, they try to keep it fenced but kids cut holes or knock them down as soon as they go up. Hope the suit gets thrown out.

yeah, the riders will be footing the bill for this kid's idiotic decision.. it reminded of the case where some stupid kid tried to outrun a 7 train but lost his leg in the process.. he ended up winning $1.4 million from the MTA!! go figure how this world works. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/local/story/402814p-341181c.html

MTA riders should sue the family for lost time and emotional trauma as a result of train delays. Or should the family win, for the increase in fares which will partially be attributable to this frivolous lawsuit. Futhermore, sue the law firm representing the family for jamming up our court system with complete and utter bullshit.

The family of the 13 year-old graffiti artist who was killed by the LIRR train on Friday is considering suing the MTA, because they failed to maintain the fences around the tracks. Can the MTA countersue the family for failing to teach their son that graffiti is illegal?

DR's right-- I should have said something like "first crazy internet murder story of the year".

"... considering suing the MTA, because they failed to maintain the fences around the tracks." Here we go again about personal responsibility for one’s actions. He may have been a little runt, but even little runts know full well that railroad tracks are dangerous. A fence wouldn’t have stopped him anyhow, and any lawsuit against the MTA would be without merit and frivolous. They’re just looking for someone to blame.

The NYT article says the 22-year-old was killed in September. How's that 2007?

When you click on the link to the investment banker going to jail the headline reads Sentenced to 37 years... when you read the article it says 37 months?
