    Re: Hancock's father is suing...

    This is pathetic on the father's part.

    Close all the bars and stop all the drinks Scott because there aren't too many people who walk out of bars after two or three beers who probably won't blow an .08, or there abouts. That's legally drunk.

    Either we close all the bars or make drunk driving a felony. And that ain't never gonna happen.

      I agree close all the bars and outlaw drinking. Sounds great! What I will say is him dying is his own fault. And the dad is just trying to clear his son name, mostly because he is a pro player, so I don't blame the dad for trying some way to say it wasn't all his son's fault. I agree Jim they should make Drunk Driving a bigger crime, but I don't that will stop them, when you are drunk you don't think right.

        Sue himself for not being there for his son when he was being depressed. Sorry but this shouldn't even make it.

          This is true to an extent hell, my father drives home drunk almost all the time during the weekends but there's a difference between being somewhat buzzed and being completely out of it to the point that you can't even drive. A lot of what Josh Hancock did was his own fault.

          I also agree with richierich the father seems to be doing this to absolve himself of not being there for his son when he needed it the most.

              I love my son with all my heart and I will try to be there as much as I can, but damn sometimes you can't. Kids grow up it is about of life. Some times you have to just hope you raised them right and let it go from there.

                I've done it too in college, and while I shouldn't have, I always drove like there was a police car behind me.

                  this lawsuit is stupid. its hancock's fault, nobody forced him to drink. too many drunk drivers here in MO ruining innocent peoples lives. for him to even think of a lawsuit is dumb. i've known young innocent people that have had their lives taken away because of these senseless cowards.

                    doesnt surprise me... a neighbor down the block from me was hit several years ago by a drunk driver on the parkway (they are ok).. the drunk basically bounced off their car & went up the side of the underpass, when it flipped on it's roof (the drunk was killed)... a few weeks later my neighbors find a note saying they are being sued for a lot of cash by the drunk's family...

                    sorry, he did something stupid.. can't blame that on anyone..

                      Hancock was 29 years old, Daddy can't be there to hold his son's hand all the time.

                      With that said dad is a moron. Blaming the resturant for constantly serving Josh drinks is absurd. Who knows what kind of physical or mental state Josh was in when he left. I know people who drink a lot and you can't really tell, their behaviour is not much different from when they are sober and i know people who after a few drinks can't even sit upright.

                      There was pot found in Hancock's SUV, how come his dealer is not being called as a defendent?.

                        Yet another example of our society's inability to take responsibility for one's own actions. Is there anyone that isn't getting called as a defendant? Perhaps it's the media's fault too (oops, that's only in the football forum).

                          Correct. Personal responsibility.

                          If Hancock didn't have it in this regards, then that's tough. If Hancock was otherwise a nice guy, but did drugs and booze and drove, then that's his legacy that he's left. The father needs to mourn, and let this pass instead of making a show out of this.

                          All I can say is I'm glad he didn't take someone elses life. If he did how'd the father like them suing him for not being a good father.

                          This was all Hancocks fault, no one elses. Personal responsiblity for your actions, period.

                            This is true. I'm sure when I used to drink I would have been pulled over and blown a .20 easy sometimes. Thank God my idiocy in this regards didn't kill some innocent person. Gave it up in 95 and never looked back.

                            I understand Hancock was also on the cellphone? Another distraction. Drunk, drugs, cellphone, big heavy car? Just asking for it.

                              the Tow Truck driver and Resturant can now counter sue and probably easily win and take whatever money Hancock had

                                This is just sick to me, all this is going to do is pour some salt on the wound of Hancocks death. Are resturaunts required to stop serving someone...sure they are, but its not like they forced him to do what he did. He was a high profile customer who frequented the bar, the Cards are the biggest thing in St. Louis and I'm sure he got taken care of by the staff. Its a shame these things happen but its an even bigger shame that people can't wait to find some way to cash in on the death of a family member. You think Hancock would blame anyone but himself?
