  • paralyzed bitch needs to be locked up

  • Is the car okay?

  • She's paralyzed! I guess she cannot put anymore people's lives in danger for your irresponsible behavior!

  • You see, here's the point. If this woman got drunk and ran somebody else down and paralyzed them, *that* person, I believe could not only sue her, but might very well have a *some* case against the bartender, first because the bartender is legally required to check I.D.s, and second, because bartenders aren't supposed to serve patrons who are drunk.

    But *she* shouldn't be able to sue him on that basis because they both have dirty hands and hers are much dirtier.

  • Not even going to watch the video. Don't need to, bitch got drunk and drove. No one else's fault but hers. The end. Bull shit lawsuits are part of whats destroying this country. If YOU fuck up, YOU pay the price, No one else.

  • She will win the lawsuit They "bar "sold alcohol to a under age,wether she be 20, 15 or 10yrs old *(BTW thats illegal)open&shut case ,For u Moslem's alcohol destroys eradicates"Personal responsibility" Just as we have gun control ,so with grog,,Most bar staff on purpose DON,T check ID ,Do u think the judge will be as stupid and callous as you "Progressives"?It,s time corporate alcohol industry had EQUAL responsibility In most countries its Illegal to sell piss to a drunk,poor girl ,,if only,,

  • Sad day for her...

  • The lawsuit doesn't hold any ground but it doesn't mean you should call her name and insult her. She's paralyzed. So I'm not going to speak ill.

  • WHO THE FUCK SOLD ALCOHOL TO THE UNDER AGE WOMEN??? WHO TOOK THERE MONEY AND THEN POUR,S THEM ON TO THE STREETS AT CLOSING TIME AND LEAVES THE DAMAGE AND WRECKAGE TO US??? Bar staff MUST be held PERSONALLY responsible . alcohol is a drug to be dispensed with CARE, no matter what the age of ihe recipient is, YOU CHENK IS NOT A PROGRESSIVE Many a young person has been taken advantage of by alcohol peddlers

  • @invaliduser1000 then make it illegal, but personal responsibility has to start somewhere.

    If beer is this bad that you need a babysitter while drinking it, then its bad education in the US also about how bad it is, but I am willing to bet this lady knew how bad beer was for this, its everywhere how bad it is, but she still chose to overdrink.

    I am progressive like Cenk, but it doesnt mean we disbelieve in personal responsibility.

  • @invaliduser1000

    That argument is based on the fact that humans are braindead

  • You took a car, to a bar, & you got injured driving. You got no say in blaming anyone else unless they put a roofie in your drink or whtvr.

    THIS is an example of people trying to avoid any & all responsibility, not whtvr dumbass shit conservatives drag up all the time.

  • Apparently, she went to the Ryan Dunn school of reason and logic...

  • she is fully responsible for herself. she did something that has ruined her life permanently and when u do it to yourself that is the wrost. she is angry at herself. she could have killed a family due to her stupidity. and guess what i can say this because i have been living with a husband that is severely paralyzed for 18 yrs now..it is very hard and the longer he is paralyzed the worse health becomes.

  • Comment removed

  • Another case of someone trying to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions. Similar to how parents sue porn sites for their children looking them up. Here is a thought. WATCH YOUR FUCKING CHILDREN AND TAKE PART IN THEIR LIVES. Don't buy alcohol and drink more than you can handle and then get behind the wheel. She is responsible for her paralysis not the bar.

  • If you drink and drive, you are responsible for what happens because you made the cognizant decision to get drunk.

  • Why am I even thinking about this and wasting my energy? Oh no, now I found myself writing about it - must quit now!

  • This is by far the worst lawsuit I have ever heard of, exept for maybe the one about the burgler suing the homeowner for being injured on the property while breaking in...but I'm not even sure if that story is true, or an urban legend.

  • I work for a liquor store in Toronto, Canada. Our liquor laws are STRICT. Trust me, no bartender/anyone serving someone alcohol does people "favours."

  • I don't feel bad for her. Nobody poured the alcohol down her throat. Nobody chained her to the front seat of her car while she was shitfaced. Nobody moved the tree or whatever the heck she rammed into in her driving path. The American public should be suing her because her idiocy put us all at risk.

  • In britain you're most likely to die on your 18th birthday, ie the day you're legally allowed to buy alcohol than any other day of your life. This kind of policy literally kills thousands of people.

  • It's probably because she looked over 40 that he didn't check ID....

  • I think that is tottally pathetici that a country that calls itself "land of the free" has the highest minimum drinking age on the Planet!. But i have to say that this Woman is a total dick.

  • She's the statistic truckload of DUMBASSES who spoil it for the rest of us sensible people. Thanks to bitches like her, we have prohibition on innocuous drugs like weed, and mushrooms.

    Well, fuck you, you dumb bitch. Sit on that chair an rot.

  • @Domzdream

    Wow... harsh words for someone that's paralyzed. I hope karma doesn't bring U to regret them.

    It's ez to understand that her bogus law suit(that more than likely will be dismissed) is all a part of her denial of her now horrific existence. A denial perhaps akin to how some except diagnosed diseases or death. Eventually they get their minds around the reality of it all.

    It's hilarious that U deem yourself "sensible" while blaming Bs passed laws on people like her.

    1love

  • @farronx

    Yea. Harsh words. What can I say, I had a bad day.

    I admit. But it IS nasty of her to not take responsibility for her own actions. She's just trying to get some money off of a guy who's just doing his job. It's a bummer this happened, but she is to blame.

    I AM sensible. If I drink, I never get behind the wheel because I know what happens, and the possibility of me ending up in jail. How am I not sensible?

  • @Domzdream

    I don't know U but judging the content of your character by your words it seems your "What can I say, I had a bad day." excuse is just that;an over used EXCUSE to be a Dick.

    Alcohol clouds the judgement of many so-called "sensible" people. Most folk luckily get home (& some don't).

    Again;obviously the lady is in denial & raging @ her now existence. It's a natural state of mind.

    U put too much blind faith in the law makers if U blame her kind for insensible laws.

  • @farronx

    Im just glad the silly drunk idiot didnt kill anyone else in her process of drunken stupidity.

    It's all her fault.

  • @Domzdream

    Ad -hominem about her is like fist fighting an armless man @ this juncture. (despite how cool it makes you feel). No one else being hurt or killed is obviously always a good thing.

  • Oh great it's the McDonalds coffee burn suit all over again....

  • @TheCreeperhunter

    exactly! Was thinking the same thing.

  • @ncawadias You believe what you want, I'll believe what's true.

  • @mwhitten77 That was so lame. Normally true statements are backed up by true premises instead of a corny opinion. Peace.

  • @TZ3k They get paid more than that, and if they can't handle it, then don't be a bartender.

  • @mwhitten77 No, most of them do not get paid more than that..... I see you telling everybody to get their facts striaght. Follow your own advice. And drinkers should follow your advice and not drink if they can't handle the effects and consequences. Where does personal responsibility take effect? Is the state at fault for giving the person a drivers license? Is the car dealership responsible because they sold the person the car they used to get in the accident?

  • @ncawadias Trust me, I do just fine. And you're wrong, but whatever. It doesn't really matter anyway.

  • @mwhitten77 So when some one says impaired they are only referring to the specific effect on the judgement? You are a moron.

  • Probably doing it because she can't make any money anymore.

  • People tend to not take responsibility for there own actions, when I was 16 and drank on new years or other occasions I still had enough sense to not drive a motorized vehicle, no matter how fucked up I've been I can still make logical decisions.

  • Bartenders and servers actually have a whole slew of other duties that keep them occupied and busy above and beyond having to be state-mandated babysitters for irresponsible assholes. But at least they get paid minimum wage for taking on all thay responsibility.

  • @TZ3k then they oughtta unionize and demand better pay.

  • I agree ...botton line, it was her choice to drink and drive! I am just glad she did not hurt anyone else.

  • We must all resist the temptation to lash out when the shit hits the fan due to our own stupidity. Few seem capable of that, though.

  • Its her fault what a douche

  • @TheLivirus I agree, and would like to add: don't serve alcohol to drunk crazy people.

  • @ncawadias You don't know what you're talking about. There's really nothing more that I can say to you. "impairment" when applied to intoxication refers to impaired judgement.

  • @mwhitten77 No you idiot, it refers to the overall state of physical intoxication. It doesn't refer to one attribute. How can you be this stupid? Like how do you make it through the day?

  • @tctheunbeliever Oh, ain't nobody gonna punch me...trust me on that.

  • @ncawadias Um, no, it doesn't. Nice try though.

  • I don't feel bad for her in the least. She could have killed someone because she was stupid, drank too much and drove. HER fault. If I'm the judge I drop the lawsuit and tell the bailiff to drag her paralyzed ass to jail.

  • @trloatis You sir, need to be a member of the Supreme Court

  • @trloatis best comment eva

  • Comment removed

  • All legal shit aside, I think we need to start taking better care of each other in this country. When we see someone getting way too drunk at a bar, we should go up to them and say "hey, are you alright? Maybe it's time to take a cab home...you don't need to drink anymore tonight. Let's get you home safe. Especially bartenders should do this.

  • @mwhitten77 Sounds like a good way to get punched.

  • Even though she is paralyzed I would still like to suggest that she go fuck herself . Maybe someone who sympathizes with her can help.

  • @Smartazzism ya i agree, i have no sympathy at all for people who hurt them selves doing dumb shit like this, if she got hit by a drunk driver and got paralyzed then ya, i might feel a little sorry for her, but this is something she did to herself, she deserves it. if iv had more than 1 beer in the last 2 hours i dont drive, and i have a high tolerance for alcohol and a very fast metabolism so it wears off faster then most people i know

  • @justcallmeassinine Well, it's true. Alcohol/drugs impair your ability to make good decisions. It's a fact, whether you like it or not.

  • @mwhitten77 Yes, and that's why you need to drink responsibly. I hate how people go "let's get fcked up! fck yeah!" and act like total asses. Then the next day they go "...but i wuz drunk" as if all their actions should be overlooked because they were drunk. If you want to get fcked up, then deal with the consequences! Otherwise, drink responsibly or not at all!

  • @ncawadias So, you think that when people refer to "impairment" they are referring to physical impairment? Again, genius. You don't know what you're talking about. Do some research, read a book, and fuck off.

  • @mwhitten77 You asked me a question dip shit. When people say "impairment" they could use it in many contexts. Why were you even asking me? Impair means hinder, or negatively impact. It doesn't mean that your decision making is gone. You are quite confident in your stupidity.

  • @mwhitten77 I would say in this case it refers to physical impairment. Your brain is a physical organ, so if your motor skills and decision making are affected than that is physical impairment. Are we done, douche bag?

  • If you are old enough to drive, you are old enough to drink, and if you are stupid enough to not know to separate the two, you are also old enough to get paralyzed. Sorry.

  • In cases where there is serious injury, courts will almost ALWAYS rule in favor of the injured party because they don't like to see an injured plaintiff walk away with nothing. This happens in all western nations, not just the US.

  • @nicholas9999 That's it...that's why the law exists.

  • Comment removed

  • GOOD THAT FUCKING BITCH IS PARALYSED GOOD HA HOPE THAT BITCH READS THIS

  • No personal responsability, blame everyone else!

    Bartender might as well counters sue for emotional distress to complete the picture.

  • @TheBkr388 Oooookay...what law is that, if you don't mind me asking? Whatever you do, don't do any research.

  • It's the bars legal durty to not sevre minors or those drunk.

    This'll make them think of safety first before making a quick buck!

  • She should sue her parents for giving birth to her, then she wouldn't have got drunk and crashed.

  • @Surells i think you are on to something there!

  • look on the bright side, now the dumb cunt will spend the rest of its life rotting away in a bed. Happy new year bitch!

  • Who's harming who here? Not only should this insane woman not be awarded any money whatsoever, but she should actually be ordered to pay the bartender for what she is doing to him. People like this make me sick.

  • i thought they passed a law sayn you couldnt sue bars?

  • Ana paralyzes me.

  • Learn some responsibility, stop trying to blame other people. This is the same stuff that let Stella sue McDonald's for spilling hot coffee on herself. Did they hold a gun to her head and say "GET IN THE CAR!!! or PUT THE COFFEE BETWEEN YOUR LEGS!!!"? This crap enrages me. Learn some responsibility and deal with the consequences.

  • @arbiter1 If the only thing the bar is guilty of is serving someone under age, that's a very big thing, and she should be compensated for her injuries. But for the fact the bar served alcohol to a minor, she wouldn't have been in the car accident.

  • @Felizdakat "Minor" is just a term meaning "not old enough to do something," in this case, it refers to the drinking age. Yes, 21 seems arbitrary, yet it's still the law.

  • I want to sue TYT for having Ana on set.

  • "she got extremely drunk, got behind the wheel and got in a crash and became paralyzed' Thats just called justice, its unfair that i have to share the road with these fucking idiots drinking and texting, they can burn for all i care.

  • I got two words for the bitch suing the bar. Dumb Cunt.

  • Maybe the bartender should be penalized, but in no way should this woman benefit from her own irresponsibility.

  • @johnedwards1968 this is 100% the dumb bitches fault.

    Being a stupid, useless cunt isnt anyone elses fault. She deserved everything she got.

  • Comment removed

  • question is, how busy was the bar that night. if it was a friday night say and it was packed its kinda hard for him to check every single ID when he has ppl to get drinks to. she is an idiot and it was her own fault about only thing bar is guilty of is serving alcohol it someone under age.

  • @arbiter1 They need bouncers to make sure no one getting in is underage. It makes it easier for bartenders & waiters (who don't have time to scan for fake IDs, much less visually check, and keep impatient customers happy) on super busy nights.

  • @GrandBreaker Blackmail? Are you serious? But you're missing the point entirely. The fact is, she didn't HAVE to use any of those other methods, because they served her without checking her ID.

  • @GrandBreaker You don't know what you're talking about. And if they get pissed for getting carded at a bar, then you DEFINITELY cut them off. I've never seen anyone get pissed for getting carded...it's their job to fucking card you.

  • @mwhitten77 Did you actually go read the statement? On all the websites posting it? There is a lot more than what the TYT hint at. Also, SPOILER ALERT: both of her cases in court FAILED. Any idea why they would do that? Simple: The bartender did not serve her alcohol. She used deceptive means to get the booze, probably had friends who are 21 buy it for her. And because she tried to sue the highway for not maintaining the road, which is just insanely stupid.

  • she should be checked in a mental ward.

  • Actually bars can be sued if one of their drunk patrons gets into an accident, so she is just stretching it a bit

  • Perhaps she will get physic powers and become Mrs. Professor X...

  • FUCK DAT BITCH

  • She is an idiot. She is the only one who is responsible for her own stupidity.

    I don't even feel bad for her being paralyzed. Not that she deserves it. But she caused it. She needs to live with the consequences of her actions. Surely she is old enough to know better.

  • The woman in this case was not wearing a seat belt, I know she was drunk but it is fair to say she took no responsibility for herself that night.

  • @Avoidnow Sue the seatbelt for not automatically buckling her in

  • I really wish it was constitutional to counter-sue for stupidity. Our legal system is a joke. "OH DAMN, I STUBBED MY TOE ON MY DESK. I BETTER SUE THE DESK MANUFACTURER FOR NOT MAKING IT OUT MARSHMALLOWS."

  • I oppose the idea of suing bars and bartenders for drinking and driving is absurd. She got drunk and drove... she's responsible. Paralyzed? Sad, but her fault.

  • 20 years old not 12. she is old enough to know the consequences . she was probable so excited she got served and decided to make the most of the opportunity. she was served alcohol but wasnt forced to get drunk. but she was very unfortunate and i am sorry she never got the chance to learn from that mistake.

  • How hard is to call a sober friend, relative, or a goddamn cab?

  • @jschultzVII

    I drive a cab. You'd be surprised of the amount of people who get behind the wheel of a car when they had a hard time WALKING to their car. It's a funny world we live in.

  • If you make it into the bar or club it should no longer be the responsibility of anyone to check your age because you've already made it through the front door

  • Yo Turks!In the military you can drink at 18 on base in the E-Club.Well that's how it was when I was in back in the 90s.Semper fucking Fi!

  • it's her fault; fuck off annoying redneck woman.

  • Responsibility no longer applies in America. Blame everyone but yourself.

  • @Inebriatd Well you can try to blame everyone else,but usually it does not work,so learn and give it up.

  • Funny since TYT and Cenk thinks this is stupid, but suing a firearms manufacture who makes a gun is responsible when some criminal asshole steals a gun and uses it on someone else. Because its the guns fault right? HYPOCRITICAL FUCKS

  • @DaytonaRoadster When did they say a person who makes a gun is responsible? If you can find me the video that would be awesome. Otherwise I think they claim relaxed laws when it comes to guns is partly responsible.

  • @DaytonaRoadster I'll give you the opportunity to give me the link to a video where Cenk or anyone from TYT advocated for filing a lawsuit against a weapons manufacturer for making a weapon that a criminal used. Go ahead, I'll wait.

  • i feel sorry for her. imagine being in that position. she's wrong to sue the bartender, but still i don't blame her.

  • @omgomg5475 You dont blame her? She decided to get drunk and drive. She then decided to sue someone for her being a dumbass. Fuck her

  • This is the reason why the rest of the world can't take America seriously. We sue for the stupidest reasons, and so when there are lawsuits for legitimate reasons, they have to wait for some of these frivolous lawsuits to get evaluated and go through. It just clogs the system and makes the rest of us look like greedy idiots who don't believe in personal responsibility. Amercan's love their freedom, but can't stand when they pay personal prices for them. Go figure.

  • Why does any court accept this stupidity?... there is something wrong with the USA legal system permitting so many law suits as idiotic as this one.

    This is not freedom or rule of law, is just a waste of money and resources.

  • @fitobcnfito Bro, let me explain the simple situation to your even simpler mind: She found one of many, many ways around getting alcohol WITHOUT an ID. Maybe her friends bought it for her, maybe she has a fake ID, maybe thats her way of getting picked up by guys. She was 20 AT THE TIME of the accident. She was one of the idiots who goes out and gets hammered right before they turn 21. She succeeded in violating the laws A- under 21 don't drink B- Dont Drive drunk.

  • @fitobcnfito She then got into a car accident, because driving drunk has far too many bad points to name them all in the 500 character limit on this post, but ill name one DEATH. She tried to sue the bar, who probably proved that she had friends buy her alcohol, since that happens ALL THE TIME. When that didn't work, she tried to sue the government itself for "Not maintaining the road properly" that she wrecked on. So obviously driving drunk and wrecking the car is not her fault.

  • @GrandBreaker Point of all this is that she DIDN'T get the law suits off. People are making a big deal out of because shes making a big deal out of it. Both her cases were denied, they didn't even make it to the court rooms. She did, however, file the law suits since that's how it all starts, and people unfortunately find out when the law suit is filed. Our court system actually works, quite well. Don't knock it because of what you see on the media.

  • this is why people get arrested for being drunk in a bar.

  • This is like suing ford because a guy driving a ford car crashed into you.

  • No.

    Bad, very bad.

    You chose to drink, fuck you. The bar tender should be done as the law requires (though stupid) normally.

  • I guess there is no personal responsibility anymore......

  • @prodprod I think you make a very strong argument. I think the point will certainly be made in court that essentially, the woman is asking to be compensated for her own illegal behavior.

  • If people were a wee bit more intelligent, they wouldn't drink rotgut/alcohol in the first place. And what was she doing with the car keys in her pocket in the first place? If you know there's a possibility of you getting drunk, don't bring your car with you.

  • @windexfighter77 No, not true. If the bar can prove she was drunk when she got there, that's actually a good defense.

  • @jasondesante No, but the bar doesn't have to making any conscious decisions to be negligent. Actually, the fact that the bar DIDN'T make the conscious decision to check ID and to cut her off before she became too intoxicated makes them negligent.

  • @mwhitten77 You do realize that there are plenty of ways around the whole ID thing. Right off the top of my head: Fake ID, having friends purchase it for her, using it as a way to meet men (I've seen this myself) blackmail, steal it. These are also the most common. There is literally a 95% chance that she never even came within 20 feet of the bartender because she had someone else purchase her booze. And unfortunately seeing someone who MIGHT not be 21 doesn't give you the right

  • @mwhitten77 To ask them if they are 21 unless they are asking to purchase alcohol unless there is a posted policy that you cannot enter the business without being 21. Believe it or not, people get PISSED if you walk up to them and ask "Hey I work here, and you don't look 21 can I see your ID please" and then there is threat to the bartender, unless you want to tell me that people are just as intelligent and calm drunk as they are sober.

  • Even if you accept that the bartender acted negligently, he's still not liable as far as I can see because both parties in this case have "dirty hands" -- she went in knowing that it was illegal to buy alcohol at her age, he knew that he was supposed to check her ID and not serve alcohol to an inebriated patron -- in essence they acted in concert to produce the end result of her illegal intoxication.

    It would be like buying dope from someone and then suing them because the dope was bad.

  • What about the bitch who is suing the family of the dead kid who was hit by a train because his body parts flew up and hit her? That's some sick shit.

  • And this is why, here, we allow young people to drink at an earlier age than we allow them to drive.

  • @1stCainite 2 Questions:

    1 - Where exactly is "Here"

    2 - Can I buy some of whatever your smoking cause its obviously some really good shit.

  • @GrandBreaker Here is Denmark, where legal age to buy drinks is 16 and legal age to drive is 18.

    And no it's all mine.

  • @1stCainite DAM YOOOOOOOOOOU!

  • In English Law: Ex turpi causa non oritur actio.

  • She crashed because she was a woman, not because she was drunk.

  • @trackleft1 -__- not funny seriously she learned how to drive from an old person now that would be comical. ;-P

  • @MistressArte ha ha ha jokes.

  • @trackleft1 Always. ;-)

  • she is now officially a retard

  • So. . . . this 20 year old BITCH. . is too stupid to tell the bartender. . " Hey i'm under age i can't drink " that. . .but instead she got happy she was able to get a little liquor. . and acted like a 6 year old getting free candy. . and took too much. . . and wants to blame somebody else for her problems that happen afterwards.The dumb bitch could of died in the crash and it would just help the world just .000001% better. . because aleast that's one childish adult the world doesnt need anymore

  • @pimpinnevaslipin Newp. Shes intelligent enough to work around the system of justice and various fail safes whose sole purpose is to prevent her from consuming alcohol, which does actually take some thinking, and stupid enough to think she can use that to make a buck.

  • i love ana... i'm always in par with her

  • i have been trained in RSA and YOU MUST CHECK ID because if you don't, YOU CAN BE SUED. If you serve someone who is drunk, YOU ARE RESONSIBLE FOR THEM AND CAN BE SUED. This is taken very seriously in Australia, however the drinking age is 18. Any older then 18 and you should be able to make these decisions.

  • @angelzpoo And you can also have your friends buy alcohol for you. You can use fake ID's. You can steal it. You can blackmail people into it. You can use "Buy me a drink" as a way of flirting. I salute Australia for not letting snoop dog get off the plane, but uh... When you say the RSA, do you mean security firm, the Rehabilitation Services Administration or the Royal School of Artillery? Because there aren't any alcohol control agencies with RSA as their abbreviation. At all. :)

  • @GrandBreaker Oh and the general "check ID training" Well thats mandatory everywhere. Even here in the states. So don't try to count that Responsible service of alcohol seminar a "Organization" or anything important with any real leverage.

  • australia drinking law is 18

  • I actually don't feel bad for her at all. If you wanna be an idiot, be an idiot, but don't think for a second that you can put the blame on someone else, let alone sue them for money.... That's absolutely ridiculous. She got what she deserves, period. She can thank God she didn't kill someone else, i would feel bad for those people, but not for her irresponsible ass.

  • lol she almost killed 2 people that night, herself and potentially someone else. thats enough to make her guilty. The bartender didn't consciously carry out a series of actions that almost results in 2 deaths.

  • This is bullshit, the woman deserves in for a being a dumb bitch.

  • Yeah, it's unfortunate. Businesses that serve alcohol are very aware that this could happen at anytime. Someone can show up to a bar or restaurant drunk from drinking in their own home, and if they get one drink served and crash after leaving your business, you are liable.

  • That's a damn shame. Only in America.

  • in canada it WOULD be the bartenders fault.. :(

  • I would have also sued the company that made her car, how dare they not put an on-board alcohol detector which starts the car if your under the limit. >:U

  • @2011blueman Well, unfortunately, it's not that simple. There is a theory of negligence that you can apply to the bar, because they are supposed to be aware that serving alcohol can impair people to the point that it becomes dangerous, and they have an obligation not to serve a person after a certain point. They were certainly negligent in serving that much to a 20 year old.

  • @ncawadias Uhhh, ok, genius, what the hell do you think "impaired" means, genius?

  • @mwhitten77 In what context? Physically? Legally? Physically it depends on your weight and many other factors. Legally it varies from place to place. In either case it does not excuse your personal responsibility. On a side note your repetition of the word "genius" made you look like a moron.

  • I'm going to sue myself for having to listen to this story

    Self, you have been served. I'll see you in court!

  • i think the chick should lose the case because she was the one who got behind the wheel of the car while DRUNK but the bartender should also be charged with the not checking ID. If the bartender had checked her ID and denied her she probably would have went somewhere else and got some booze and still drove drunk so trying to put it on the bartender is complete b.s.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, what a WTF story. It is somehow the fault of the bartender that she violated the law by both drinking underage and drunk driving?

  • @upabittoolate Don't get me wrong I agree with you, I'm just saying that there are laws in place where I live because people obviously can't drink responsible. I've worked in the service and bar industry for coming on 5 years, the words people have called me simply because I cut off them off (and doing my job properly for that matter) are better not repeated. Obviously this women should of known better but, what kind of bar just lets people leave and drive home? Most of them...Sad but true.

  • 1.She was an adult.

    2.She violated the law by drinking.

    3.She knew what she was doing was against the law.

    4.She did it anyway.

    The bartender should be cited for serving alcohol to someone under age, and that's IT!

    If someone else (not drunk) was involved in the accident, and hurt as a result, then the bartender could be culpable for their damages.

  • @TruthAndMoreTruth

    While I do agree with you, and think that's the way it should be, the law might disagree.

    Unfortunately depending on what statutes South Carolina has in place, the bartender could be guilty of Negligence per se (Legal term, google it if you don't know it).

    I don't know what their state statutes are, but if the bar tender had a duty to check her ID specifically to stop this sort of thing from happening, he could be held criminally liable.
