"Well before the mass shooting, the Army was aware that Robert Card had classic warnings signs of high risk to himself and the public. The Army's knowledge; its mandatory processes; its promises to Card's family, medical providers and local law enforcement; and its actions in undertaking to intervene individually and in combination created a legal duty on the part of the Army to address the risks posed by Card in a reasonable manner," the suit said.

The group's suit now seeks "accountability from the U.S. Army, Department of Defense, and Keller Army Community Hospital after those institutions ignored warning signs of the dangers posed by Army Reserve Sergeant, Robert Card, including Card's threat six weeks before the tragedy that he planned to commit a mass shooting."

Pretty fucked you can literally STATE you're going to do this, and no one does anything to stop you.

This is just the "filing futile lawsuit" stage in this iteration of the endless loop of US gun violence.

As with all other issues, no improvement at all is possible unless the national power of the Republican party is ended.

Yeah, I don't want to sound dismissive in any way but I don't see the lawsuit going anywhere.

Remember how utterly furious gun nuts got with David Hogg because he didn't die?
