This dude has a more…nuanced definition of “friend,” I suppose.

No doubt the carrier will defend the case to no end. If bars are now deemed responsible for intentional conduct, such as a fight, then any one can get drunk, fight and sue. Great money making legal theory, but do not think it’s feasible. Very different than a bar getting someone drunk for profit, sees the person take the keys off the bar and only to watch the patron walk out the door to cause an accident.

Why continue to waste time and money on these cases? Maybe it’s time to surrender to the notion that no individual is ever responsible for their bad behavior ’cause the devil made ’em do it. Maybe we should accept that personal responsibility is an antiquated notion, and that any deviant behavior is simply a failure of the collective to adequately monitor one of its’ members.

Or perhaps they simply do not care a jot, after all they can get rich, which seems to be the only object.
