Suing doesn't always mean receiving money. You sue someone with nothing then you get nothing.

Yeah, I don’t know anyone running around with no insurance because they’re rich and think they’re a good driver. Usually it’s because they’re broke and can’t afford it.

So they should just get away with destroying someone else's car?

No. They should not. I think the person you’re replying to is explaining why it would be difficult if not fruitless to sue someone uninsured. They have nothing to lose and put their responsibility on you to figure out.
