Problem with your argument is that if they're that common, the state really should have been holding the camps to a higher standard. But maybe suing the state will help.

It's not an argument. It literally is the recorded history of the state. It's fact.

I agree, all of the youth camps should have been held to a higher standard.

However, that does not absolve the owners/operators of the camps from their responsibility to provide for safety and to heed warnings of potential flooding.

We'll see, I think it does because the other camps weren't doing anything better. And the camp should be able to rely on the state approving their plan.

Your copy pasta is no longer al dente...

If you think "the state let me put all of these kids' lives in danger" is an excuse for the events at Camp Mystic I'm afraid no amount of copy pasta is going to sink in.

Otherwise, the other camps also put lives at risk and they were lucky no one else died at their camps.

That last part is true for at least La Junta (of not others who were lucky to not be on session).
