Yeah…way to draw out the family’s agony and grief, assholes.
Plenty of solid flags indicating suicide. And saying “but suicide doesn’t make sense” is no rebuttal at all: suicide is very often not a rational decision. You could come up with all kinds of reason why the deceased shouldn’t have done so….but those reasons weren’t enough. It doesn’t make sense. Shit, it’s why the word “senseless” exists.

Sounds like mom and Buzbee are giving up on the murder charges and now going after the two tailgates that served her: the UT Latin Economics and Business Association and the Austin Blacks Rugby Club.

Those of y'all that hosts these tailgates need to start carding and making sure people are consuming responsibly!!!

Excuse me, I'd like to speak to the manager. Your bartender overserved me!!

Moralless lawyer and an angry mom looking to blame anyone but her own daughter for her daughter's suicide. Everyone loses.

"My daughter was the happiest girl in the world. For absolutely no reason at all, alcohol made her want to kill herself! They shouldn't have served her or make her drink all that alcohol to get herself stupid drunk!!!!!"

Also, no telling if she snuck booze into the tailgate or already had a few in her system (likely). It may take two drinks for a girl her size to be drunk.

Those seem like two groups that are unlikely to have deep pockets.

Either way, it's everyone else's responsibility but her daughter's.

TBH, I was thinking of those groups as small non-profits, vs targeting someone like Exxon.

I was a member of several non-profits associated with my kids' schools and they usually had four or five figures in the bank, sometimes low six if they had a kick ass fundraiser. A $1M settlement would wipe most of them out.

A former coworker played for the Austin Blacks. It was basically a mid-to-high level men's league team. I seriously doubt they have cash reserves amounting to anything. Some of the individuals will, though.

#8962

I read they're doing the lawsuit so they can subpoena people to continue the investigation. The livestream vod was technically borked but he did bring out a student who lived across the hall or nextdoor and heard everything through the thin walls (she emphasized this a lot, and having dated people who lived in nice-looking apartments built in Austin after 2005, I believe her). She mentioned that she has a dog that hates when people argue, who heard people arguing and reacted to it.

She says APD has never talked to her. So although I don't think we have any evidence of murder, I also would be pretty unsatisfied with the official investigation if I were in mom's position, and if there's more to be learned and a way to learn it, I don't blame her for taking those options, even if it means suing some student organizations.

That dog needs to take the stand. Buzbee is an aggy, so he talks dog.

I'm honestly shocked they allow dogs in these newfangled student apartments

Have you seen the UT admission requirements? Who else would rent them?

Oh, wait...

The mom and Buzbee need to take a field trip to 21Rio and re-enact the dive the girl took. Holding hands.

This is the exact kind of lawsuit that while it looks to have no real merit other than a grieving mother being manipulated by a greedy lawyer just praying to find a deep pocket individual somehow linked to the tailgates that he can turn into his tortfeasor

that in the end... ends up killing ALL the tailgaiting for the rest of us, even the legal ones.

all to line the pockets of an asshole lawyer who's convinced his client-who just cant fathom her baby girl was actively contemplating suidcide in both written and declarative statements for at least the previous 6 weeks- to keep the lawsuit going to find the case somewhere

the same baby girl whose friends tried to calm her ass down, and then her boyfriend, who was probably on the phone hearing an almost incoheriently drunk girl screaming at him and he assumed (like 99.999999% of us would) that he could just talk to her after she sobered up, probably telling her something that she took to be the end of the relationship, and almost immediately afterwards jumping.

We need to get Loewy on the counter, ASAP. Aggy trying to fuck up the tailgating scene and put blame on everyone but the person(s) who deserves it.

11 fewer aggy than aggy killed with their bonfire. The rugby guys need to step up their game.

I do love this era's rock-solid script:

"I'm not racist! But....[says/endorses totally racist shit]." Like fucking clockwork.

"I'm not racist! I just think all the dirty spics should get outta America!"

It's fantastic.

Yeah, they, especially the rugby club, might have an insurance policy that covers something like this, but claiming against it probably wouldn't require litigation until limitations was close.

Buzbee is just doing this for notoriety. And that includes ratcheting up Mom and continuing her misery, as previously noted.

Well there is a procedure to file a proceeding for the purpose of taking depositions before filing an actual lawsuit, for the purpose of investigating a claim. https://stcl.edu/lib/TexasRulesProject/TRCP200-215/rule2021999.htm

So, that's kind of bullshit.

Arguably, though, it's easier to just file a regular suit.

I have no doubt he was going to file a lawsuit anyway, so no sense delaying the inevitable.

Congratulations! You stumped the internet.

lol. I can't recall what the context was, but:

anti = against

esquire = lawyer

antiesquirism = opposition to lawyers

I was very much thinking about the "antidentite" joke from Seinfeld while coining that term, which is now bound to catch on like lightning, I'm sure. :)
