Bob Hooker wants us to be more understanding of these outrageous jury awards
so victims can pay for the medical expenses--due to their own stupidity.
But when will people take responsibility for their stupid actions instead of
filing a lawsuit? Stupid is as stupid does. If companies are held liable for
every dolt without common sense, we'd all be out of a job.
Nope, sounds like this guy in the Winnebago (if it in fact is true) should
have received the Darwin Honorable Mention Award--and the jury alongside
him.
