I dont know anything about this story you mention. What i do know, is that people should understand the risks when they decide to take action. Denying them that knowledge is irresponsible, regardless of how rare those risks occur.

I help if im able and I am happy you do too. But the people that don’t help because they are scared of a potential risk of a lawsuit, I dont hold any ill will against them

While good samaritan laws protect people who help others it doesn’t provide immunity. Intentional misconduct or gross negligence are a couple of ways a good samaritan can face legal action. Now, while those are good exceptions to have to protect the victim. Because of a broken/corrupt legal system those exceptions can be used against someone that was just trying to help.

Bottom line: Help others but dont be a hero or a creep. And you reduce your risk of facing charges.
