What a sad world we live in

So you’re a teenager and you steal a gun from a family friend and use it to shoot your teacher. His widow sues everyone in a wrongful death suit. The jury finds that the friend who’s gun you stole is 50% liable for the death. The school board is 45% liable for his death, and the company that distributes that particular model of gun is 5% liable. You, as the person who committed at least three crimes, (stealing the gun, unlawful possession of a firearm, and murder) are not found to have any liability in the death of your teacher.

The whole concept of personal responsibility really is dead, isn’t it?
