Virginia Tech client-chasing

That didn’t take long: according to Prof. Childs in a post yesterday, at least one legal advertiser has bought Google AdSense words in quest of victim families. Those who click on the ad get redirected to personalinjuryattorney.com.

  • I’m sure the aim here is to make our college campuses safer for all students. It most certainly is not about the money.

    A Message to the Victims & Families of the Virginia Tech Tragedy

    On behalf of the CounselSeek legal network, we would like to express our condolences to the families, friends and classmates of those who lost their lives yesterday in this devastating and unnecessary tragedy. This incident is a deeply sad moment for the entire country and we are heartbroken by the news of this catastrophe which has taken the lives of some of our best and brightest students and educators.

    As the investigation into the deadliest shooting rampage in American history proceeds, questions have been raised with regard to the appropriateness of the administration’s response. Serious security deficiencies have already been identified and the safety and security of campuses across the nation have been called into question. Although no amount of monetary compensation can ever bring back friends, family members or loved ones, we believe that the responsible parties should be held accountable for their actions and that security deficiencies should be identified and corrected so that an incident like this can never happen again.

    Please accept our sincerest condolences to the victims’ families and friends of this terrible tragedy. If we may be of any assistance whatsoever, please do not hesitate to contact us using the form provided below.

    Unbelievable, being as the investigation is ongoing as I type this. It is bad enough we’ve had the Major Media trolling around here all week, now we are going to have to put up with this?

  • Unbelievable

    “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

    It’s not unbelievable, not anymore – it’s far too common for that. I’d call it “normal”, but it’s far too SICK for that, too.
