One of the few times that I would support a lawsuit. I'm surprised it took them so long.
Why can't they just go after the little punk? Is he underage?

I would like to know how old Hulk's son is.

I just looked it up and Nick Bollea was born July 27 1990, making him 17 and if he's tried as an adult, then his father should not be responsible for his adult son's actions. However if he is tried as a minor, then you could make the opposite case.
Also, it is interesting that they are basically suing the family for enabling the outcome which could imply that if you are a parent that enables a kid to shoot up his school, then the parents should then be accountable. It's interesting and I'm guessing that this case will depend on whether the judge is one of those activist type judges that takes the law into his own hands. The legal responsibility of parents enabling their children may be tied to this very case.

You sue the "deep pockets." Most of the property and assets held by the family are likely in the parents' names, as are probably their insurance policies.

I'm sure the car was registered to his dad, making him also liable.

He could have done that in a Geo metro! Whatever he was driving he would have pushed the limits and even a GEO Metro can go 80MPH.
Why not make it illegal for kids under 21 to drive anthing with more than 8HP. That'll keep them safe! Ya know?
