Lawyers, who are representing parents suing Amazon for selling “suicide kits” to teenagers who died by suicide, say they have reached a “breaking point.”
Amazon lawyers have allegedly told parents that the online retailer had a right to sell these so-called “suicide kits." The kits are described in the lawsuit as bundled items that Amazon suggests buyers purchase together, including a potentially lethal chemical called sodium nitrite, a scale to measure a lethal dose, a drug to prevent vomiting, and a book with instructions on how to use the chemical to attempt suicide. The online retailer’s lawyers also allegedly said that it would be “unfair and inhumane” to hold Amazon liable for the teens’ deaths.
I haven't read the whole thing, will finish it tomorrow. The part I've read, if accurate and true...

Teens with their own credit cards? No, they used their parents account to purchase crap off of Amazon, this means that 50% of the liability rests with the parents, plus the 50% liability from actually being their parents.
No parent can miss the signs. When my girlfriend's oldest daughter still lived here, I could tell what she was planning by the ads delivered to my smart tv. As an example, she told her mom that she was flying to Canada on vacation. Her mom told me to guess what her oldest was going to do that summer. When I told her, probably taking a trip to western Canada, she asked how I knew. I told her that I had been seeing ads for Vancouver hotels.
I can always tell when my girlfriend is watching cooking shows because the ads on my tv change from ones mostly related to what I'm watching to mostly kitchen appliances and spices. When she's watching old black and white movies, the ads switch to life insurance...
I don't mind because this also means that they have been seeing ads for Atlanta escorts because of the content that I watch...
Why doesn't that reasoning apply to guns?

How is it possible to be "inhumane" to a mega-corporation, which is not human?
If people are truly upset with Amazon's corporate behavior, there would not be a single Amazon truck on the road that isn't bullet-riddled. That's how you let Board of Directors understand they need to change their ways, their policies. Because otherwise, they are next.
