I saw this on TV, and couldn’t belive it…this dope has retained a lawyer (no doubt looking for big bucks).
My question: could she conceivably sue the Mall (for placing a fountain/pool) in the path of brain-dead walkers like herself?
No doubt American jurisprudence will get a workout here!
Link to story/video.
For people who just want the surveillance video.
What a 'tard.
She works in the mall, so I assume she was aware of the fact that the mall had a fountain. One might cut her a teeny bit of slack if she had been a first-time visitor.
No, she gets no slack from me in either case. If you’re going to walk around in your own bubble, not watching where you’re going, you’re going to get a big old Nelson Muntz HA-ha from me when you fall and make an ass of yourself. How much do you want to bet she texts while driving?
They’re not laughing at you; they’re laughing *with *you.
No they’re not. They’re laughing at you. Google yourself. You’ll find out.
Not only that, but afterwards she hires a fucking attorney.
Actually, she already had a lawyer, having been charged with stealing her coworker’s credit cards and running them up to the tune of $5,000, and for a hit and run. So, long history of 'tardiness on this woman’s part.
I’m assuming she was cleared, right? Otherwise she’d have been fired?
Nope- her next criminal court date is in April, where she faces sentencing. But she doesn’t still work at that store.
And the humiliation of falling into a fountain makes her cry?
Oh, please. The last fountain I stumbled into was electrified and equipped with whirling blades and sharks, and I didn’t cry!
That’s because nobody saw you do it.
When I heard about this, my guess was that she was pursuing some theory that the mall/security should not have released its security tapes in a manner that embarrassed her. I’m not an expert, but I don’t think one has any privacy right WRT security tapes made in public, nor does the mall owe her any duty WRT their use of those tapes.
What a schmuck!
Lessee - if you don’t want to be embarrassed, don’t to anything embarrassing?
Nah, it’ll never work…
C’mon, there must be some money in this case-I hardly think her attorney is doing this “pro bono”.
Relax, the mall has a big insurance policy-probably a $30,000 sttlement-with 30% for the landshark.
But the feed from the other angle shows a cleaning guy talking to her, so it’s not like there was no mall employee checking on her.
But at the same time, it appears the only reason the tapes were released was to humiliate her. I very much doubt it was the mall management or the security firm management who authorized the release.
She’s still an idiot.
She’s an idiot, but she doesn’t care. She wants money and will do anything to get it. She’s proven she isn’t above lying and stealing to get it. Who knows what story she is willing to tell a judge to gain a settlement.
This incident is already costing other people, the mall security guard believed to have released the tape has been fired.
Remember when a banana-peel pratfall was considered slapstick, and not grounds for suing Nike and Chiquita?
