Damn lawyers

ST. LOUIS - The state Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control is renewing its investigation into whether restaurant workers knew Josh Hancock was drunk but continued to serve alcohol to the Cardinals pitcher before his fatal crash....
Hancock's father, Dean Hancock of Tupelo, Miss., filed suit last month against Shannon's, Van Matre, the tow truck company and operator, and the man whose car was stalled on the highway.
I can understand suing the restaurant that served Josh the alcohol, but suing some random guy who was stalled on the highway, and the tow truck driver who was there to help him? These guys aren't responsible for Hancock's death, they're just innocent victims of a drunk driver.

If Josh's father has standing to sue on behalf of his dead son, shouldn't he also be held responsible for his son's actions? It seems only fair. So what if his son is dead? He started this. I would sue his ass right back.
