Common sense went out of fashion around the same time as the horse and buggy it seems - around the same time we became such a litigious society.

That's a suspension you WANT on your permanent record. I'd put that on every college and job application!

Florida has a good sam law for med care but I don't see why it wouldn't apply to preventing bullying
768.13 Good Samaritan Act; immunity from civil liability.--
(1) This act shall be known and cited as the "Good Samaritan Act."
(2)(a) Any person, including those licensed to practice medicine, who gratuitously and in good faith renders emergency care or treatment either in direct response to emergency situations related to and arising out of a public health emergency declared pursuant to s. 381.00315, a state of emergency which has been declared pursuant to s. 252.36 or at the scene of an emergency outside of a hospital, doctor’s office, or other place having proper medical equipment, withou
Good Sam laws only apply to performing medical care such as CPR or doing something like pulling someone out of a burning car and causing them to be paralyzed.
Preventing bullying is rendering emergency assistance so ought to be held harmless with regard to zero tolerance.

Your politicizing everything is becoming a bit tiresome. As if bullying of gay kids doesn't happen in democrat states. Seeing the world in such black and white terms (Republicans/Bad; Democrats/Good) is so immature and juvenile. Come back when you have something of value to say.
tazzari saidDoesn't Florida have a Stand Your Ground law? Now if the kids had just been armed, the kid getting bullied could have opened fire, waste the bully, and saved his rescuer from being suspended. And the more rabid NRA types would have cheered. Or not - do they cheer for gay stand-your-grounders too?

No, he is correct. Lee County and the rest of Southwest Florida is very conservative, very behind the remainder of the civilized world and completely out of lockstep with tolerance and acceptance.
What can you expect from a region that sent Katherine Harris to Congress?

Actually as you know TJ, Lee County is Ft Myers and Cape Coral areas. Katherine Harris actually represented the 13th CD which was part of Pinellas County which is St Pete and Dunedin area. The current rep for Lee County area, Trey Radel, was the dude who just resigned cause he was arrested on coke charges. Connie Mack may be back there.

What's the difference between someone pulling someone out of a burning car, or pulling someone out of the way of a careening bullydozer.
I think you could still be sued over that. If someone felt that you were interfering with "their time to die" then they could probably take you to court and sue you for everything you have. I think someone did it not that long ago and won. A friend of mine was involved in something about a decade ago when someone had a seizure and fell over, smacking their head on the sidewalk, cracking it open. He pretty much held them together until medical help arrived. When the person was competent enough they tried taking him to court but the judge (at the time) dismissed any such attempt by the plaintiff as a frivolous attempt of monetary gain.

Apparently it wasn't the time to die...
Anyone can sue for anything. Doesn't mean yer gonna get away with it. And just because there are some bad people in the world, doesn't mean you should live your life as if everyone was a bad person.
