IL State Troop kills 2 while driving (126MPH) & texting and now wants works comp!

I DISAGREE!!!!!!!! If ANY of us were to be "on-duty" at work, say a UPS driver, and we were driving over 100 MPH, and we KILLED several people, do you HONESTLY think that we should be paid unemployment when we are fired???????????

It's offensive, plain and simple. If I were to run two people over in my work parking lot going 5 MPH, and I was fired, then you can be damn sure that I'm not getting unemployment.

The fact is that the officer was behaving NEGLIGENTLY. Last I checked, that disqualifies the average person from recieving unemployment.

It's not an unemployment compensation case.

Yep, I goofed. Happens more that I care to admit

I say the victims' families file a wrongful death suit for every penny he gets from workman's comp. And then some.

From the article, it appears the families have already sued. If they've been paid, they are screwed as far as getting more. I think. If they haven't been paid, they may be able to get their money from any payout he gets.
