I can't believe they even have the nerve to suggest such a lawsuit. The dude was drunk, yapping on a cell, and driving without a seatbelt in the middle of the night. Don't tell me it's the fault of the restaurant who gave him drinks or the driver who stalled on the road.

Did I understand right that it's his Dad bringing up the case? Isn't the dude 29? Wow, take some responsibility for your life kid!

Sad. Misdirected grief. Mockery of the justice system.

The father of Josh Hancock filed suit Thursday, claiming a restaurant provided drinks to the St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher even though he was intoxicated prior to the crash that killed him.

I was left speechless. It's human nature to want to blame something else for a misfortune, but to take such actions on what is clearly a highly emotional reaction is dispicable.

 

I think they excluded a few defendents.... the distillery that made the alcohol, the highway administration for creating a road that could kill a person, and lastly the Divine Creator.
