Going back to the accident my Aunt was in and is now being sued for ... this Soundoff was published in the Bakersfield Californian on Tuesday ...

Ridiculous lawsuit

Let me see if I understood the recent article concerning two parents suing over the death of their son.

Their son, a 20-year-old man, illegally purchased and drank alcohol. He then drove a Jeep like an idiot at 100 mph, lost control and overturned the vehicle, killing himself and a friend. His vehicle was struck by another vehicle causing injury to the lady driving the other vehicle.

Now, his parents and a despicable lawyer, decide to sue the lady who struck the overturned vehicle.

What do the young man's parents and this disgusting example of an attorney not understand about personal responsibility? The young man broke the law and as a direct result of his own actions died. The judge should throw this lawsuit out of court and penalize the parents and the lawyer for filing such a ridiculous and frivolous lawsuit.

-- JOHN BELENCROFT, Bakersfield

Can I get an AMEN?!  AMEN!  Mr. Belencroft, you have made my Aunt feel just that much better about this terrible situation ... she's relieved to see that people not even related to her or who know her see the ridiculousness of this situation.
