Ugh.
And, look, I want to be clear that my disdain for Lawsuit, Inc. isn’t a blanket sentiment - even for that class of lawyers. I’m sure many, if not most, claims have a rational or at least reasonable basis.
My problem is that I hear about so many of them that clearly (to me, anyway) just don’t. And it befuddles me how these get anywhere with a judge, assuming they get that far.
And it starts to sometimes look like something pretty distinct from justice.
In the case I referenced, he sues the bar instead of the two guys who actually did it. And he says it’s about making sure it never happens again, blah blah blah. It’s total bullshit and anybody with half a brain knows it.
The lawyer bringing it is the guy in the middle. I’ve met him, and he seems like exactly the person you’d think he is by this photo…and his benevolent and altruistic approach to law. He’s doing it to protect all of us regular people from the ravages of diabolical, violent bar owners, doncha know?
