Tiger Woods hit with lawsuit after employee dies in car crash

If Woods owned the restaurant that overserved their son then he should be liable.

 

Unfortunately it's the law to make the bar responsible for other people's behavior. It's puts them in a lose-lose situation. In this case it was a huge loss for all parties involved. Sucks but it's the law and now he is liable.

 

It’s the world we live in, nobody is responsible for their own actions.

 

Dram Shop Laws have been on the books for decades.

 

Bars do hold a responsibility to the community to help keep their customers from driving drunk. This guy was ridiculously intoxicated.

The Gold Medal was just awarded in the Victim Olympics for 2019. This is how liberals think -- when they end up with a bad outcome it's never their fault. It's always the fault of rich people, institutional racism, or Russians. Dude literally gets wasted and then operates a motor vehicle, endangering the entire community, and then his family wants money from someone else? Give me a break. To improve their lives, liberals must learn personal accountability!

GOOD DAY

 

"I may be wrong. I mean I may stand before you in six months and say, 'Hey I was wrong.' I don't know that I'll ever admit that, but I'll find some kind of an excuse."

 

Except the lawsuit is an example of the bar being held responsible for it's own actions, if it did anything wrong (if not, the lawsuit will fail). The guy would be held responsible as well with a criminal indictment, except that he's dead.

 

It's the right wing crudo: Blame the liberals and minorities for every problem but never point the finger back at us.

 

Because he was forced to get intoxicated. Again always somebody elses fault, the Liberal battle cry.

 

Unlike you, I don't judge until I know the facts. Whether it was solely his fault, the bars fault for serving an obviously intoxicated customer, or both of their faults remains to be seen. It's unfortunate that instead of looking for facts, you look to blame liberals for this.

Once again you show everyone how little moral substance you possess. It might be worthwhile going to your pastor or preacher and confessing what you do on here and asking your god for forgiveness for your arrogance and hate - and maybe look inside yourself to become a better human being.

 

He wasn't a customer. He was a bartender there...and a known alcoholic that was recruited and hired by Woods' girlfriend who manages the restaurant. A .256 is freakin druuuuunk. The law places some responsibility on the establishment to cut people off.

This isn't a liberal/conservative thing and those making it out to be are just childish morons. This is a family that lost their son. Of course the kid bares some responsibility in this...a price he's clearly paid with his life. However ,if the facts bare this out, if the bar was overserving someone who they knew to be in AA and let him drive off, they share some responsibility, too.

 

This personal responsibility complaint is bunk. Sure, he has responsibility and his punishment apparently is death. But the restaurant has a liquor license from the state and it comes with strings attached. One of those strings is a responsibility to not overserve.

EDIT: If you're wondering why a drink at the bar costs 400% what it would cost you at home or why you have to pay a corking fee for the luxury of someone else pouring the glass -- this is why. You're paying for the liability of people occasionally dying in alochol-related accidents.

 

If you over serve you deserve consequences. That’s what bartenders and all servers have to pass their certification to serve alcohol.

I have zero issue with holding them accountable.

 

I assumed it was because the owner/investors were looking to make money. Same reason a beer at the Toyota center is marked up 400%.

 

It upsets me when someone is over served and goes out and kills someone else. I am less upset by this scenario. *shrugs*

 

Amusing statement from someone who always blames others (liberals) for everything. Ignorance of the law does seem to be a general conservative battle cry though.

 

The family has announced that any money received from this lawsuit will be donated to building the wall and the MAGA for America fund.
