“The driver asked the man if he was the person who placed the order, and when the man said yes, the driver turned back to the car to get the pizza...At that point, the driver was attacked from behind with a baseball bat”
It’s easy to play armchair general (i.e. “well, I would have done such and such”), and I’m certainly not going to blame the victim for the actions of the thugs who beat him. That said, this case *is* a stark reminder of just how important situational awareness is.
“Dominos will stop delivery to the immediate area around the site of the attack for now...Due to the violent nature of the incident, we wont be delivering to the area for the time being, Murret said.
Sadly, that’s likely to be challenged with a lawsuit sooner rather than later. Remember the stink about 10 years ago over pizza delivery places not delivering to bad neighborhoods?
You're right. And Dominoes will lose. Some judge will rule that it's a "right" to get a pizza at 2 AM.
