frick this fricking clown world we live in. Article
quote:

An attorney for Enoch Tong's family alleged in a press conference Wednesday that the yacht crew did not warn the victim of the risk of jumping into the water


quote:

In the lawsuit, the family filed negligence claims against Impulsive Life LLC, Starward Yachts Inc, Jones Boat Yard Inc, multiple "acts and omissions" including: “failing to reasonably and properly train, instruct or supervise its employees, agents, contractors, masters, officers, crew members, or seamen”; “allowing unqualified and untrained employees, agents, contractors, masters, officers, crew members, or seamen to operate the Victoria”; failing to properly equip or use the available safety and lifesaving equipment aboard the Victoria”; “failing to implement reasonable and proper safety policies and procedures for its passengers (or failing to instruct its crew of the same)”; and "failing to warn its passengers of the risks of jumping in the water, especially during poor or deteriorating weather conditions."


And just like that, bad parenting and kids' tomfoolery results in someone wanting money to make things go away.

After a Democrat judge denies summary judgment in a year or two, the insurance company can expect to pay out seven figures for this guy’s stupidity.

Any judge not dismissing this kind of shite with the quickness is the problem.

Wait, the boat wasn’t even underway?

I didn’t realize it was docked when the kid jumped off.

Is this the same incident I’m thinking of that went viral awhile back with the Baton Rouge kid?

ETA: looks like a different incident than the one I was thinking. Teens jumping off boats and floating away to their death is OOC

Who knew jumping into the ocean could be risky?

The Tongs should sue Darwin.

I was thinking this was the kid from U-High last year, but he was 17 or 18, on his senior trip.

Why do these people always have to have "press conferences" every time they feel like suing someone?
