Life's not fair, sh!t happens. If anyone doesn't have insurance, that's the choice they made to gamble with their life and lost the bet.
It doesn't matter. If lightning struck the theater and it caught fire and someone got hurt, the insurance would cover it. That's not to say the theater caused the lightning or necessarily could have prevented the fire. That's what insurance is for.
In fact, if the theater's gross negligence caused an injury/death, I don't believe their insurance would cover anything. (I could be wrong)

So true.
Life sucks, the families should pay for the bills. Anyone who WANTS to donate should, those who dont shouldnt be forced to. Because of my vision I have to get a pair of 2500$ glasses just to drive, guess who will be paying that for me???/ MYSELF and my family, shit happens and its not fair, but it still happens and you need to deal with it.
Again, if your employer doesn't provide it you can't buy it, it unaffordable for most.
I don't think this is entitlement talking. It's a reasonable question. If you were crossing the street and a driver hit you and broke your leg, would you not expect him to pay? If he couldn't pay personally, then wouldn't you expect his insurance to pay?
Situation's the same here, just that the means of assault is changed.
And premise liability cases are just a cost of doing business especially for places that cater to large crowds.
American Airlines and United were not the cause of 9/11. They werent anymore negligent than the movie theater in this case. Their insurers and the federal govt paid out BILLIONS.
I was actually thinking of that, and it's a possibility the theater's insurance will have to pay. Not necessarily all of the costs, but some. I find it negligent on their part that an emergency exit didn't sound an alarm when it was used, which would have alerted people that something wasn't right.
Nonetheless, I don't buy the whole emotional appeal to pity, that somehow these victims are entitled to compensation when it was their choice to not get insured.
Where are you getting that information?
You're right. Unless someone poured acid into your eyes and that screwed up your vision. Then they should pay, should they not?
That wasn't the question. You claim individual insurance is unaffordable to most. A quick glance online tells me individual insurance ranges from $250-450 a month. You're trying to say that's unaffordable?
Compare this to a car. If the car can suddenly burst into flame or the throttle sticks and kills everyone in the care the seller/Manufacturer has liability.

this is not the same at all.

fuck you
I could report this post, but I won't. Maybe once you grow up a little, you'll realize that you're not as special as you think. You're not entitled to shit just because you feel like it. Nobody owes you a damn thing just because your life didn't turn out as well as someone else's. Get used to it.
One day you will be homeless and you will wonder why no one wants to help you.
