The 19-year-old mother was the first to file a lawsuit against the government after claiming her 1-year-old son suffered from lead poisoning due to the contaminated water supply in the city. There are now 64 active lawsuits against Flint following Bell’s initial claim, but Bell will not be able to testify in the high-profile case as she was found shot to death in a Flint townhouse on Tuesday.

Following Bell’s initial filing, 64 other families joined the charge and legal teams are now representing 144 children.

was the motive related to the lawsuit or what?

[QUOTE=Mattk50;50193234]was the motive related to the lawsuit or what?[/QUOTE] Unlikely, it's Flint. Pretty sure they top the charts with murder per capita from time to time. Wouldn't really help those opposing it to kill the first person when there's 64 lawsuits going on.

[QUOTE=Mattk50;50193234]was the motive related to the lawsuit or what?[/QUOTE] Like Levelog said, it's highly doubtful. Cleveland gets to say "at least we aren't Detroit", But Detroit gets to say "At least we aren't Flint". Flint is seriously a shithole.

What's going to happen to that poor child? Jesus Christ. Even if he fully recovers from the lead poisoning, imagine growing up in his mothers absence.

welp that's what you get for trying to change shit i guess. Fuck this world.
