Father Twice Told Uzi Too Powerful for 8-Year-old
Christopher
Bizilj

Family May Have to Watch Video of Son Handling Uzi For a
Second
Time

The teenager who worked at a gun show where 8-year-old
Christopher
Bizilj
accidentally killed himself while shooting an Uzi testified
today he
twice
suggested the boy's father pick a less powerful weapon for
the
boy
to
shoot.

But Christopher's father, Dr. Charles Bizilj, insisted that
his
son
be
allowed to fire the automatic weapon, Michael Spano told the
court.
Spano
was 15 at the time of the 2008 Massachusetts gun expo and
was
put in
charge of allowing people to fire the 9 mm Micro Uzi, a
submachine
gun
that fires 20 rounds a second.

During Spano's testimony today he said that he warned
Christopher's
father
about the gun prior to giving it to Christopher. Initially
Spano
had
offered Christopher a gun that shot only one round at a
time,
but
Dr.
Bizilj asked him to give his son a fully automatic weapon
that
would
shoot
continuously, Spano said.

The teenager said he suggested for a second time that a
non-automatic
weapon would be better for the boy, but the father dismissed
his
concern.

"You trusted Mr. Bizilj to make the best decisions for his
children?"
defense attorney Rosemary Curran Scapicchio asked. Spano
said he
did.

"And no one stopped an 8-year-old from shooting, is that
fair to
say?"
Scapicchio asked. Spano agreed.

And rather than being held accountable for giving his 8 yr old
child
permission to fire the gun that killed him, this *father*
receives
over
half
a million in a civil settlement for the death of this little
boy.

Sing it with me now!

"Blame the daaaaaaaaaad, blame the dad, blame the dad,
blaaaaaaaame
the dad!"

He is the child's guardian, Mikey. The child's dead with a
direct
correlation to the parent's decision.

Mikey is too stupid to understand the father signed the permission
slip
for
this little boy to shoot a gun that gets off 20 rounds in a second.

Commie is too stupid to understand that the father was awarded
half a million dollars because the fault was legally found to lie
with someone else.

He wasn't "awarded" a half million dollars, he made a settlement, and
payment was $700k. Which probably means an insurance company is paying
that amount and took command of the negotiations

Meaning they knew that they would LOSE if it went to a Jury,
and have to pay even more than $700k.

Punitive damages alone could had been in the millions. the money is
kind of lowball amount of a negligent lawsuit in which an eight year old
was killed at a business/workplace. It is is settlement, there is no
guilt or verdict. It is known because of the criminal trial. It
appears to be settle quickly, which means the insurance companies were
involved.



Perhaps because the father signed a detailed release, accepting the
responsibility for his own minor children at this event. Illness, injury
and death were specified as possibilities at a machine gun show & shoot.
Were I on the jury, had it gone to court, I wouldn't have given the father a
penny. It's about time parents take the responsibilty of their own
childrens welfare IMO.
