It's her fault that she died, so this lawsuit is ridiculous. It's also ridiculous that a major newspaper would refer to a 23 year old woman as a "girl."

From the headline you’d think the deceased was six years old.

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime: the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

I agree with your post. She was an attractive woman, and it is too bad she died, but it was her fault.
Her parents should be ashamed of themselves. At worst, they didn’t raise her with any more commonsense than she displayed, and at best, they are abdicating their responsibility and blaming others.
I am sick to death of this.

When I read the headline, I assumed she was a child of 3.

Duskey, 23, was an elementary school teacher
There is a lesson there. See: Darwin, Charles. Of course it’s ridiculous. Which means, they’ll probably award it.

23 year old gets drunk and kills herself with an act of stupidity and her parents sue. This is exactly what’s wrong with our society

Thanks grundle.
Megan Duskey fell four floors to her death after she tried to slide down a railing... Duskey, 23, was an elementary school teacher at Orville T. Bright Elementary School on the far South Side. She was dressed as comic book superhero the Silver Spectre when she died, authorities said at the time.
The bright side is, at least one stupid drunk is no longer teaching at OTBES.

The parents are understandably distraught and want it to be someone's fault, some reason, something to blame. They cannot, in their pain, blame their daughter, who in fact is at fault, because their pain is too raw.
Money will not fill the hole that has been ripped in their lives and win or lose they will come to know that.
If there are any judges left with any sense the suit should be thrown out.

Stupid is as Stupid does.
Who told her it was okay to slide her fat ass down the railing four flights up? Oh, I forgot. She's part of the teacher's union. They believe they have an exclusive right to immortality.

Classic darwinism in action. Remember, it is not the survival of the individual, rather the survival of the species. So, just feed more alcohol to these morons and the gene pool will eventually improve.

Death by stupidity ...... Correct. Almost dumb enough for a Darwin Award nomination. Personal responsibility......it's a novel concept that has been forgotten somewhere along the way to our current nanny state, blame everyone, pity me society. The sooner the stupid die, the better off the rest of us are. Slide away morons...............
