I suppose, but the general belief and consensus on the matter to the everyday layman is "person sued because coffee was hot." Basically, I wouldn't be surprised if this is just another bullet on the list somewhere of "Why the US is terrible." Which I guess is a totally valid concern, considering this sort of stuff is allowed to happen... even if I'd like to believe that no one is seriously believing this woman is in the right.
Personally, I got more annoyed when I heard over the news about a guy who rioted in Baltimore and got arrested... and then complained about how he was going to miss work from getting arrested - and how that was going to hinder feeding his wife and kids. I'm sorry, but how is that the police's problem? If you didn't want to miss work, then you shouldn't have participated in a RIOT.
Oh, and people complaining about some other rioters (students, I think) who broke the law being put in shackles. You know, to restrain them from attacking the police. Like what the rioters were often doing during the whole thing. But no, the police are in the wrong for trying to deal with the rioters and keep them from harming themselves and others.
Then again, I live in Maryland, so this sort of nonsense hits me a lot closer to home.
... Not to mention that I got to hear a week's worth of news about all the protests and riots and whatnot because people can't let a peaceful protest be peaceful. Nope, gotta use that as a chance to burn down businesses and throw bricks at policemen! And if they get arrested, it's totally the POLICE's fault for arresting them!
