Not the Drunk Guy's Fault!

A few weeks ago St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock died when his SUV crashed into a tow truck and stalled vehicle. Tragic. However, the tragedy becomes a little less meaningful when you find out that Hancock was twice over the legal drunk limit and was not wearing a seatbelt. He was speeding 26% over the legal limit and was talking on his cell phone. He also had a bag of weed in his car, but they have not yet reported that he was high as a hippy.

So, let's review. He's drunk, speeding, on the phone, not wearing his seatbelt and possibly gooped on dope. Sounds like he may have sown a situation for the Grim Reaper to do some reaping.

His family has held up his senseless death as a platform to educate children about drunk driving. They have his death to serve as the centerpiece of driver safety campaigns for seatbelt use, driving at posted limits and deferring the use of cell phones for the appropriate time.

NOT!

Josh Hancock's family is now suing the bar he was drinking at, the tow truck he hit, and the guy who's car was stalled on the road. Of course, Josh's death is CLEARLY their fault.

I demand that the judge throw this out of court and then order the U.S. Air Force to shoot sidewinders into the homes of his family. Clearly Darwinian forces are alive and well here only one generation too late.

Once again, a tragedy turns into an extra super bad tragedy because of greed.
