Angry OFF TOPIC: This just burns my ***!!!!

Everybody is to blame except the person who got drunk, got behind the wheel of an SUV, sped, didn't wear a seatbelt, and was on a cell phone when he ran into the back of a tow truck.

Hey dad, how about accepting the fact that no one is more responsibile for your son's death than YOUR SON!?!

But Tony, doesn't society share the blame for everything nowadays?

This isn't sharing. He's blaming everyone for his son's death, except the one who is truly responsible.

Twice the legal blood-alcohol level, maryjane found in the car, speeding, cell phone, no seat belt - yep, sounds like the tow truck driver, broken down car owner, and restaurant killed that poor man...the pain his family is feeling has to be paid for by someone...

This creep dad will take whatever settlements the insurance companies offer and buy himself a fancier house...

Unbelievable! So, he is suing the driver of the car for allowing the car to breakdown. This suit should never get to court.

While I may not agree with the particulars of this case specifically, I think there is some merit in holding bars and restaurants accountable for serving ridiculous amounts of alcohol to people who are driving.
