“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 … ‘has a psychiatric history and a history of violent crime,’ Gibson claims in the suit, and could never have qualified for a gun permit.” (09/05/08) Link: http://tinyurl.com/5fs377 Filed under: 2AM News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
