Unbelievable Gall

Police and Firemen have a tough job. I think we can all agree on that right? They deal with situations that most people are too afraid or too weak to do. So when they manage to rescue a 75 year old woman from underneath a trapped SUV that's been underwater for almost 30 minutes and manage to revive her, you'd think they'd go home and have a good feeling in their hearts that they've saved someones Grandmother.

Well these guys did. Even the family went to ceremonies where the rescue workers were being honored.

Now they're all getting sued.

Within a year of that dramatic and courageous rescue, however, Connors' family sued the town, in part because it claimed rescuers didn't act quickly enough to save Connors. It named several local officials as defendants, including the first selectman and chief of police.

Today, the town remains mired in the complex and lengthy legal battle, which revolves around accusations by Connors' family that Saybrook Point was unsafe for cars and that the town should have had a trained dive team ready for such emergencies.


Ungrateful motherfuckers if you ask me. The poor old woman is in a nursing home with brain damage and these people saw what 24 hour care costs and they are suing because those they are suing have deep pockets.

About a year ago Connors' family offered to settle the lawsuit for $1 million. The town rejected their proposal.

See! I told you so. The town was correct in rejecting it. They can see through her monumental greed.
