MAN SHOT BY 'CRAIGSLIST' GUN TAKES AIM AT SITE

A Manhattan boutique owner is suing craigslist.com for $10 million, claiming he was shot with a gun purchased on the popular Web site.

Calvin Gibson, 50, who was shot six times by his schizophrenic neighbor in the East Village on July 24, believes the classified site is partially responsible.

"But for defendant's negligence in failing to supervise and monitor the content of the ads placed on its Internet service, [the shooter] could never have legally obtained the handgun," according to the lawsuit filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court.

The alleged gunman, Jesus Ortiz, who is being held without bail, "has a psychiatric history and a history of violent crime," Gibson claims in the suit, and could never have qualified for a gun permit.

"New York has an extremely stringent gun law," the suit says.

He claims Ortiz told the cops that he bought the gun on craigslist, and that the suspect's mother told others the same story.

Gibson was shot after he stopped at a deli on East Seventh Street near Avenue D. A teen, Mohammed Islam, 18, was also wounded in the random attack.

NYPD officials could not confirm the suit's claim. A craigslist spokesman could not be reached.

WTF

This is even worse than suing McDonald's for eating till you almost kill yourself.

What's next, suing a car dealership because you got hit by a car driven by an alcoholic?

Jesus shot mohammed, mohammed blamed craigslist

Nice reading comprehension, grammar, and spelling. Calvin Gibson is the one suing Craigslist.

So then why is it ok to sue a tobacco company if you get lung cancer?

So then why is it ok to sue a tobacco company if you get lung cancer?

Who said it was?

That makes more sense than suing Mcdonalds for getting fat, suing marlboro for lung cancer etc.


That guy was a nutter who would not have been able to buy a gun legally but he was able to by purchasing it from craiglist. Negligence on their part.

If some guy sold a schizophrenic/someone else who is not allowed to own a gun a gun and he later killed someone that person would get in trouble.
