For fuck's sake.

Birdman is, believe it or not, quite a savvy businessman.. I would be shocked if he couldn't flip this thing in a few years for at least what he paid for it.

@Baby Beater Benz: I'll take the over.

@snapoversteer, Arbiter of D'Elegance: Can I be a general, or at like.. a hired mercenary?

@BrtStlnd: Definitely painful for the M1.

Sounds perfectly adequate.

This guy is an epic douche and hopefully he gets bufu'ed in jail by a guy nicknamed Duck.

a. & c.) Look, the difference is that you don't serve 500 people in your home every night. Having 4 guests in your home and a crowd in a bar creates a completely different expectation of responsibility. A bunch of sober people come into a bar, and a bunch of drunk people leave, every night. A bar would need a staff of…

It sounds to me like they are alleging it simply based on his BAC. If they had solid evidence that he was being unruly or otherwise had a solid basis to accuse the bar of misconduct, it surely would have been mentioned in the filing.

I agree that it is more likely that the risk of a bar patron committing vehicular dumbassery is about 100x more likely than the average person, however that doesn't make any of their actions foreseeable by the staff. Per the documents, the family's attorneys have no idea whether the defendant was "visibly intoxicated"…

a.) True, but I take "foreseeable" to mean "foreseeable by the bar staff", otherwise why would they be getting dragged into this? It's not their job to arrange transport for patrons unless specifically requested, or if the patron is noticeably wasted and holding their keys.

In what way was this a "foreseeable" event? This was a freak accident. A patron of their establishment chose to drive his monster truck home and accidentally struck a pedestrian. The sun rising is foreseeable. Grass growing is foreseeable. This is not IMO.

a.) Nobody expects vehicular manslaughter in their parking lot. That is not a foreseeable event.

I have no problem with the dead chick's family suing the owner and driver of that douchemobile into oblivion. Faux monster truck owners, along with people who drive straight-piped Harleys, are my sworn enemies, and I wish them nothing good as a result of their choice of vehicular transport.

The inital frame capture (the one showing before you press the play button) is even awesome.

@dangertree: I giggled.
