Eight students sue York University for a total of $20.5 M


Sweet!  Sweeter is the name of the law firm representing the students.  "Malik" is the the last name of two of the students  and according to my "source" the family name "Malik" is either a Pakistani or Indian Muslim name.  Don't you just love it that the Muslim-heavy university  which is run by a Muslim prez and a Muslim-heavy administration is getting sued by Muslims?  Oh la la la .... Ca na da !!!

Honestly,  I am super glad that the university is being sued.  The lack of security on campus and the general administration and management of the university is deplorable and more like the running of universities in third world countries .... and that might  be insulting to those universities.  Maybe now at long last, the Ministries  of Education.... both Provincial and Federal, might be forced to sit up and take notice of  the extremely low standards in both security and education at the  York  University.

Of course, we can tell straight off that greed for big bucks plays the overall big role in this lawsuit.  Good luck to the "lawfare" gang and to the lawyers as well.  Why not?!

.....Eight students who witnessed a March shooting at York University have launched a $20.5 million lawsuit against the school
On March 6, Annie Malik, 19, and Namra Malik, 20, (no relation) were injured after a gun accidentally discharged in the food court of the university’s student centre at around 10:45 p.m.
The other six students are suing for psychological damages following the incident.
They are being represented by the law firm Diamond and Diamond.
“We are alleging a pattern of negligence, we’re alleging that security has been overlooked and our allegation is that steps could have been taken and measures could have been taken,” Sandra Zisckind of Diamond and Diamond said at a televised press conference.
Annie Malik, a third-year business administration and accounting student was shot in the leg while Namra sustained a shrapnel injury. Annie spoke to the media about the incident.
“As I was hiding under the table after my friends had told me to do so because there had been a shot fired, I was praying that there wasn’t going to be another shot fired and wishing that it wasn’t something like the Colorado shooting,” said Malik. “I have a bullet still lodged in my leg and I don’t know if it will cause even worse problems later on in my life.”........

..........In addition to Annie and Namra Malik, the law firm is representing six bystanders who witnessed the event, whom according to Zisckind are suffering survivor’s guilt and psychological issue.......
