A federal appeals court got this one right, and upheld the dismissal of a $33 million lawsuit against a video game company, porn site, and movie studio that claimed they were responsible for a 1997 school shooting involving Michael Carneal. The suit alleged that the companies exposed Carneal to violent and sexual images which sparked his shooting rampage that killed three students, reports the AP. The judge correctly recognized that it was Carneal who exposed himself to those images, and Carneal who pulled the trigger, and that the plaintiffs were simply going after the people with the deepest pockets.

We can only hope that the judge will also stick the plaintiffs with the defendant's legal bills for bringing forth a frivolous and baseless lawsuit, and then bitch slap them for wasting the courts time, and driving up the cost of goods for consumers.
