A couple questions.....
.
1. Who do they sue? I doubt either of those groups have a list of all members. How can the plaintiff (DC) identify who is to respond? If you CAN prove that a person is a member - how can that person get a fair trial? Are all respondants entitled to their own lawyer???

2. Do you think this kind of monkeyfuck is a good idea??? Will you still think it' s a good idea when " the other side" uses the same tactic? Because - they will.

.....

I wonder if Portland, Seattle and all the other cities that suffered damage and deaths (and there was more than DC) will sue BLM and ANTIFA into oblivion???


Protest - sue - protest - sue -  repeat as necessary.

1. They sue the named parties, as explicitly laid out in their lawsuit. Which you can read here to answer that question.

2. Yes. Holding terrorists and terrorist organizations feet to the fire is an imperative. Any time you don't, whatever they did is just practice for the next and improved attempt at the same thing.

To the extra credit - It's hard to sue antifa as an organization, since there isn't one. Easier to sue BLM, got any ideas? Rhetorical, I'm sure you do.

Bwaaahahahaha


Jesus ...

Are these cunts for REAL???

Read to the bottom of respondents...


"John Does 1-50".




Hey counselor - isn' t that a motherfucking BIT vague???

They’re formally organized groups with CEOs, boards of directors, membership lists, bank accounts, etc. Suing them should prove no more difficult than suing Exxon or The Salvation Army.

I looked this bit up: Naming a John Doe in a lawsuit is actually an accepted and fairly common legal procedure. It means that the person has not been positively identified at the time the suit was filed, but their actions regarding the lawsuit are known to the plaintiffs. It’s done primarily to ensure that any statutory time limits don’t expire.

As a fr’instance, let’s say you have major surgery and feel you might be the victim of malpractice. Since you were (it is to be hoped) unconscious during the surgery, you can’t positively identify all the people in the operating room. So, your attorney files suit against, ‘St. Bingo Teaching Hospital and Dr. John Doe’ to preserve the time limit until the hospital coughs up the records of who did what.

Only a lawyer would find accusing somebody you haven' t named yet as acceptable.

Edit to add


Why not throw in a few extra charges of wrongdoing?

Those might turn up too....

Only lawyers find themselves charging anybody with anything. As Boru explained, it's common practice to allow space for unidentified co-conspirators materially attested to.

Vague? Not so much. 50 people out of the entire us populace of 300+million is exceedingly specific and narrow. It's not as if johns and janes doe 1-50 could just as easily refer to you, for example.....unless.....

50 people that you haven' t named...
.
What a load of shit....


Say their case begins going sideways... The plaintiff can refuse to name any more defendants - then when they lose - they get a second whack by filing " new" charges.....

But - if things are going their way - they can name new defendants right up till before resting....

It’ll work out to everyone’s satisfaction. Once the Boys and the Keepers realize what deep shit the lawsuit puts them in, they’ll produce the actual names with a speed that would make Usain Bolt gulp with disbelief. For all their bluster, they’re cowards who will peach on their mates to save their own skins.

And you are of course assuming that the actual named members did all the dirty - 

And not some random. anonymous asshat who tagged along for the party......

Just looked up another bit of relevant law: a judge will put a time limit on the plaintiffs to positively identify the John Does in a lawsuit. If the plaintiffs fail to do so, the unnamed respondents will be removed from the suit.

This means that, by the time the suit gets to court, there will be no unnamed respondents.
