"The Bin Laden family trust supported his filthy ways. Now they must pay. It may not bring back the lost victims, but it'll sure hurt them where it matters most.

Suing is an American pastime. Someone hurts you in any way, you sue them. Sure it won't solve any problems, but it'll make them think twice before they repeat that act. Suing is an end in itself. Even if you lose, they have to spend time and money defending themselves.

These people (the Binladens) may tell us anything in public, but (bank) records tell the true story. Before 9/11, how do we know they weren't supporting this animal covertly. We have to find out one way or another."

Hey Rison, if your White you better watch out!!! I should be able to sue for enslaving my Native brother and Sisters!! Oh, you weren't born in the 1700's? You still benefit from White America, don't you? Then your to blame also!!!!!

Tecumseh, you could sue me if your people had won. In that case, might equals right.

I say someone starts a "troll/idiot of the year award" thread. I'm sure Rison would make it into the top 5, along with ZAQ "Knolege iz Powa" 3155, MrPalco and other such memorable characters.


Btw Rison, I don't like your attitude, can I sue you?

I actually don't believe I can sue White America! I was trying to make a point!! And my point is.........

They had no control over Bin Laden's actions! Just like you had no control over events that happened 200+ years ago!!

Now if they were found to be supporters of Bin Laden, then I say Sue! But there not, so nothing should be done. :):):cool:

<< Suing a supporter of terrorism or a terrorist will stop the flow of resources to the terrorists. As for bin Laden, liquidation is good enough for me. >>

Rison, it sounds to me likes you're capitalizing on this tragedy. Some places are selling coins from the towers for outrageous prices, you want to sue. Either way, it's a means to make money off of what happened. If I'm wrong, forgive me, but do not lead me along with this garbledegook about how they must pay. Yes, those responsible need to be punished, and the families who need relief are being given relief by various organizations such as the Red Cross. You, however, simply want to line your pockets. This being the case, please do not cushion it with fancy words about revenge. For you, it's not about that, it's about the almighty dollar.

Rison,
please tell me that this is all some sort of sick joke. Please tell me that you are drunk/stoned/cracked out on PCP. Tell me anything! I refuse to believe that someone could actualy think what you are saying. Your ideas are just so completely and utterly moronic and childish that I can't even begin to explain how mornic they are.

Tecumseh, they may have no control over him, but then again, neither did the charities that we're closing down. The reason why we're after the charities and (hopefully) the binLadens is because they supported terrorism indirectly.

if we are going to sue everyone who supports terrorism indirectly and without them knowing it then I guess we are all guilty in some way.

This is not about (me getting) money. It's about them losing alot of it. They implicitly supported the animal bin Laden. Now they must pay. We can't liquidate them (for obvious reasons) and we can't try them for supporting terrorists. The next best thing is to take them to the poor house.

For those that think that I'm some wacko aiming to line my pockets, you obviously don't live in New York City (like me). You guys probably live somewhere in the West Coast or deep South or Midwest. You and your families were safe on that day. I lost friends and colleagues. I believe in vengeance. Not only have the binLaden family not come to the city to apologize or condone the act, some of them actually refuse to believe that he had anything to do with it.

You want a definition of a terrorist? Look at the 'Wanted' posters hanging around this city. I don't want to get technical, fearing that an arab or terrorist apologist will hijack the wordings of the definition and twist it around.

let me get this straight:
1) You think that the BinLadin Family should have to pay for what their son did
2) You know that they disowned him
3) You have no shread of evidence to support your claims that they support bin laden and his terrorist acts
4) But you refuse to define what a terrorist is

Rison:

First, I live in NJ so I fully know the impact of 9/11.

Second, would you come back to America if you knew that the American public would want to kill you! Not I!! I don't blame the Bin Laden family for not coming back to America. If some of the family members refuse to believe that Bin Laden had anything to do with the tragedies of 9/11 then that's on them..

Hell, there are still White people that believe that Bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11. And that's after seeing the tape!!!!! Should we sue these people to?

That's why we have investigators, to find the money trail. If even one of his hundreds of brothers or sisters even sent him a penny after he was 'not welcomed' within the family, that should be enough proof.

but do you have any reason to suspect them of supporting Osamas operation? before an investigation there must be a logical motive

hi Rison, I just turned 22 this month, how old are you?

This is a preposterous idea. There is literally no evidence at this point that in any way implies that the Bin Laden family have ever had any involvement in Osama's terrorist acts, and so they have not committed a tort on anyone in the United States as far as we know. Indeed it appears they have had no connection to him for many years.

A courtroom is not intended to be a vehicle for unjust "vengeance," and no self-respecting lawyer would take on this case barring much more specific information implicating them. Unfortunately there is no shortage of non-self-respecting lawyers in this country!

My conservative leanings are telling me not to blame anybody but the person that did the deed. But, there is a mischievous part of me that wants to sue his mother for weaning him too fast and sue his father for him inheriting his undersized shwanstucker.

What is this fixation you have on his family? Bin Laden is supposedly the one who's responsible for this, the one who orchestrated it. Why be so driven to go after his family, just because they *may* have given him some support. Laden's troops supported him, and so did many others. Why not go for the man directly responsible, Laden himself? I'll tell you why. Because he will be brought to justice. He will get his. You're just sue happy, for reasons I discussed above. :confused:

BTW, what kind of logic are you using? For example, if someone robs a store, should his or her friend be sued because they know that person? Because maybe that friend they said they were thirsty one day and asked for a drink, so the robber goes into the store to buy his/her friend a drink and suddenly gets the idea to rob it, should the friend be held responsible for being thirty, which lead to the idea of the robbery.

Bin Laden is just like any other terrorist organization. As in the case of the IRA, Basques, Palestinians, and Saudis, he is fighting for a people that already have a political representative that denounces him. The political representatives are supported by the populace, the opposing government, and the international community. That will leave him to being a militant that is attempting to represent a populace that doesn't want his representation. Hence, since he isn't legitimate in the eyes of the other parties, terrorists terrorize some or all of the parties involved.

Layman's term.

The animal's family is next in line after him. Once we're confident that he's been liquidated, we must punish his family for their support. I said this before and I'll say it again: words and actions are totally different. They may say that they've never supported him but things could be otherwise. You guys are just going by what his family said. This is the same family that partly supports him. We must teach anyone that supports terrorists that they will pay a heavy price, short of death, if need be. Turning a blind eye to the family and believing them at face-value would be a terrible mistake.

<< Rison, you are a nut :eyeroll; >>


I concur...
dude, think whatever you want to think, you have proven yourself to be complety stubborn and seem hellbent on making us think that the BinLadin Family should pay for what bin laddin did ,when there is no evidence to support them supporting him.
Your aligations are falling on deaf ears here, please go somewhere else
