Family of protester killed by bulldozer suing Caterpillar

By ELIZABETH M. GILLESPIE

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

SEATTLE -- The parents of a 23-year-old activist killed while trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home have sued Caterpillar Inc., the company that made the bulldozer that ran over her.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court here, alleges that Caterpillar violated international and state law by providing specially designed bulldozers to Israeli Defense Forces, knowing the machines would be used to demolish homes and endanger people.  :huh:

Rachel Corrie, a student at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., was standing in front of a home in a refugee camp in Rafah, a Gaza Strip city near the Egyptian border, on March 16, 2003, when a bulldozer plowed over her. Gee, can you tell the opinion of the writer? 

"The brutal death of my daughter should never have happened," her mother, Cindy Corrie, said in a statement released by the Center for Constitutional Rights, one of the law firms handling the case. "We believe Caterpillar and the (Israeli Defense Forces) must be held accountable for their role in the attack." 

Gwynne Skinner, a partner with the Public Interest Law Group and an adjunct professor in the Ronald J. Peterson Law Clinic at Seattle University's law school, is one of the lawyers on the Corries' legal team. She said they hope Caterpillar will admit it is partially responsible for their daughter's death and stop providing Israel with bulldozers.

"Caterpillar knew that its equipment was being used to commit human rights violations, knew that Rachel Corrie and other civilians were foreseeable victims of these human rights violations, and even with that knowledge ... they continued to supply that equipment," Skinner said.

How incredibly STUPID.

It worked with the lawsuit against McDonalds and the hot coffee

It didn't win, but remember the black woman trying to sue a white man for training his dog to attack black people

This is the stuff that Bush doesn't want anywhere close to the courtroom.

A man won alf a million for putting his RV in cruise control and then walking away , thinking it would drive on its own

Well, you can certainly tell where the deceased protester got her ideas. Bad genes foster more bad genes and that one for mental dimness is a strong one, apparently.

Fortunately, those bad genes will NOT be passed on to another generation, thanks to Catapillar and the Israeli defense forces. I hate to see anyone lose a child, but if a person is stupid enough to stand in front of a bulldozer, the world hasn't lost much with their demise.

I would never want to appear insensitive to their pain and loss, but would she be a candidate for a Darwin Award?

WOW Caterpillar was responsible? Had Caterpiller questioned the reasoning behind the sell, they would have been accused of violating so many rights: descrimination, prejudice, blah,blah,blah. Political Corectness is our hero, savior and G*D Bless the ACLU
