CNN posted:Walmart has responded to a lawsuit filed by Tracy Morgan over a deadly car crash that left the comedian in critical condition. The big box store blamed the injuries suffered by Morgan on his failure to wear a seat belt. tl;dr: Walmart claims it's Tracy Morgan's fault their driver killed his friend and almost killed him because they weren't wearing their seatbelts on the party bus. Nevermind the fact that their driver had been up for more than 24 hours and was going 20mph over the speed limit. Nope. No liability here. walmart posted:tracy morgan: it's your fault. gently caress you and your dead friend.

the both broke the law i'm assuming he broke seat belt laws. If you don;t wear a seat belt and get hurt worse because of it, it's your own fault and every court will agree'

I agree with Walmart's logic although it really depends on what medical examiners say.

being in a limo shouldnt shift more liability for your inevitable injury to the other driver since you're making a choice to travel in a vehicle without basic safety features that have to be in every other street legal vehicle for decades

Is it difficult as a hardline Democrat to reconcile Tracy Morgan being anti gay, yet also being in a lawsuit against their arch nemesis Walmart? The answer may surprise you.

I disagree with Wal-Mart on the specifics of this case, but completely agree with the sentiment of telling Tracy Morgan to go gently caress himself.

it's walmart's duty to its shareholders to keep costs down it would be unethical for them to just roll over

i think this is one of those "whoever loses, we win" scenarios. i don't know. i'm thinking if walmart did win this case it would turn into an even bigger shitstorm, because i know stuff like this happens on the reg and walmart normally wins, but now a celebrity is involved. hmmm
