Frivilous lawsuit alert

If you get shot by some loser with no money, what do you do? Oh yeah, sue the restaurant whose parking lot is where you got shot.

Less than a week after a 20-year-old pleaded guilty to murder in the 2005 shooting at McDonald's near King High School, one of the gunshot victims is suing the fast food restaurant for negligence.

Alexander McKinnie was 19 when a bullet punctured his foot Nov. 17, 2005, as he walked from his car to the McDonald's, 6906 N 56th St.

In a lawsuit filed Monday by attorney Mark Wright, McKinnie claims the restaurant did not take appropriate action to protect its customers from such "reasonably foreseeable criminal acts by third parties."

If McKinnie's lawyer was honest he'd explain the choice of plaintiffs as Willie Sutton the bank robber explained why he robbed banks, 'because that's where the money is'.

Remember, it is 99% of lawyers who give the rest a bad name.
