Actually the driver was only 18 when he was served acohol by the
Highlander Inn (he's 19 now). Interesting that Jay left that bit of
information out of his rant.

And this has what to do with my point?

At 18, the driver was a legal adult. He made a series of bad decisions. He
was at a wedding reception, where anyone who walks up to a beer tapper is
going to drink a beer. He drank too much, drove like an idiot, killed his
best friend -- and he's now been sent away to prison for TWENTY FIVE YEARS
(another absurd part of this story, but that's another post). He has "paid
his debt to society" -- times ten.

But that debt apparently isn't enough. The girl in the backseat was
injured, and her father now has an ambulance-chasing attorney suing the
hotel for millions, because the driver's parents apparently don't have deep
enough pockets.

So, another business bites the dust. (They have actually sold the hotel --
it's now a "Quality Inn")

The scenario that happened here could happen at our hotel, at any
restaurant, or at most people's homes. It's just bull****, and anyone who
supports this kind of legal action is part of the problem.
