On the evening of January 17, 1997, Kenneth Southall and several other members of the British military started a bar fight with Robert E. Moore, the plaintiff-appellant in this case, at the Lakewood Bar and Grill in Tacoma, Washington.
Moore sustained serious injuries in the altercation. On January 11, 2000, Moore filed this lawsuit, against Southall, ten unnamed members of the British military, and the government of the United Kingdom, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.
The NATO Status of Forces Agreement and the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act preclude this lawsuit against the UK and its soldiers. Can purveyors of asbestos become sovereign nations? If so, will they also be eligible for foreign aid?
Didn't they own a couple of States once? Maybe starting a Church would work instead -7th Day Asbestos?
