| 28. "Bastardi" family? Really? What an unfortunate last name... |
|
Tragic that all these people died as a result of one person's drunken stupidity, but these "Bastardi" people are a bunch of bastards for inflicting further pain and suffering on undeserving parties. Are they going to throw in suing wherever she bought her alcohol, or the manufacturer of it? How about suing the state for not ensuring 100% that drunks can't drive the wrong way on a highway too?
