Helen Gable was taking pictures on the railroad tracks in Tupelo in 2006 when a train cut her leg nearly off as she tried to get out of the way.

"Helen Gable, while taking pictures of her niece's daughter, was exercising due care" while standing on the tracks, the lawsuit said.

Then why did a huge vehicle that cannot turn even an inch nearly cut her leg off?

Why does our Supreme Court still tolerate such stupid law suits? Do they want to look like imbeciles... or are they so focused on the trivia of their job they cannot stand back and see how utterly stupid it is for this lady to blame the train for her incompetence. There is no way to claim she was both standing on the tracks and exercising due care. The two facts are mutually incompatible.
