My point is doing this is just going to piss of the cubans more. We can't keep digging in the past, what now lets go sue every German who we can tie to the holocost. Then lets start go after former slave owners in this country.
When do we let the past die? Castro is going to die soon, and Cuba will open up, the world moves on. |
Well, we do not know what evidence was presented to determine the final judgment. So at this point any talk about whether or not $400M is the correct judgment is just speculation.
What is wrong with lawyers making money? You are beginning to sound like a socialist and that is a troublesome development. People ought to be able to make whatever the market bears. If a lawyer can haul down big bucks, good for him/her. I personally gave up a lucrative career with a big lawfirm because I found that being a prosecutors was more personally rewarding. Sometimes, however, I do miss the big bucks.
It is not up to you to decide when a victim "should let go." That is up to the victim and his/her family. Should Ron Goldman's father "give up" and forget about extracting every possible penny from OJ? Or should he continue to hound OJ to his (OJ's) grave?
The Nazi government stole money from Jews. Jews have been tracking that moeny, all the way to the Swiss banks that accepted those monies in deposit. Good for the Jew, make the Germans and the Swiss pay.
There is no statute of limitations in making wrongdoers pay for the evil they do. I am surprised that you cannot see this.
I am certain, however, that if someone tortured and murdered someone dear and near and dear to you, that you would hound the guilty party to Hell and back if necessary. I would expect no less from you.
So let these people squeeze whatever they can out of that f'ing bastard and his regime.
BTW, the latest news on castro's health is wonderful. Seems like he is dying a very slow and painful death. According to one report, they had to take him back to the OR on 7 different occasions to fix the stitching on his bowels. I was worried that he would die peacefully in his sleep. Apparently there is a God and He is making castro suffer. Oh yeah!
