It's Everbodies Fault Except the Drunk's

Ryan Pisco, after drinking Coors, was killed after driving a car, his girlfriend’s, 90 miles per hour into telephone pole.  So, who should be sued, why of course, Coors, the girlfriend, and the girlfriend’s mother. 

Coors should be sued because, according to the dead man’s mother, it ”..failed in its duty to protect the country’s youth from drinking." The girlfriend should be sued because she allowed her drunk boyfriend to drive off in her car without her in it, and the girlfriend’s mom should be sued because she shouldn’t have given her daughter a car as a gift.

“Mom sues Coors over son’s death in accident."

Of course this specious suit should be thrown out, but it probably won’t be.  And what is even more disturbing, is, a so called jury will probably rule for the mom of the dead drunk.

  1. From a forum I frequent:

    “Coors should publicly rebuke this woman and claim that their product helped remove this kid’s stupidity from the gene pool and assert that he was responsible for his own actions.”

    There’s a lot of truth in that.

  2. Indeed there is a lot of truth in that statement.

  3. You tell people that they aren’t ultimately responsible for their actions long enough and it surprises you when they’ve come to believe it?

  4. No, it doesn’t surprise at all, Serpent.  That’s the whole point.

  5. I’m just happy we’re in agreement on this one.
