Felicia Reynolds is suing Hoover High School in Alabama for $5 million dollars because Sean Joyner was murdered. If you’re wondering what her relationship is with the murdered high school student, she is the mother of the boy who was convicted of murdering him.

She is suing the school district because she claims Mr. Joyner was harassing her son, that she notified the school about this and as a result, they are responsible for the death of this young man and the 20-year sentence for manslaughter her son received.

Bill Veitch, school board president, said he finds it “bizarre that someone expects the city to prevent their son from murdering someone between classes.”

Unfortunately, I find it bizarre that he’s surprised. In this day and age where many Americans feel that being held responsible for their actions in completely unfair, this woman’s suit should not be a surprise.

Last month I wrote about two young men who snuck on top of a train (ignoring the sign, common sense and personal responsibility) were electrocuted when they fell and sued the train company for negligence because the warning sign did not detail all possible outcomes of their stupidity.

I actually had a number of readers who responded to me that they agreed with the families that it was the responsibility of the train operators and not the young men. I wonder how they feel about Mr. Joyner’s death?
