ESPN reports that  Josh Hancock’s father is suing a restaurant operator for serving his son booze while the man was intoxicated.  This is a chronic problem with our society: people are not expected to be responsible for their own behavior. This Hancock guy made the decision to get drunk.  He also apparently chose to operate his vehicle while drunk.

Authorities said the 29-year pitcher had a blood alcohol content of nearly twice the legal limit when he crashed into the back of the tow truck. He was also speeding and using a cell phone and wasn’t wearing a seat belt, police chief Joe Mokwa said after the accident. Marijuana was also found in the SUV.

Rather than blame other people for the death of a drunk, Hancock’s father should be thankful that his drunk, irresponsible son didn’t kill someone else.
