sorry to sound really mean and insensitive, but this makes me sick.
If these family members really wanted to "make a difference in the community" like they said they "owed" to their deceased family members, they wouldn't have taken a single cent from TGI. Fridays.
If they were really concerned with "making a difference in the community" they would have just settled for the things the restaurant owners said they would put in place.
("The company agreed to post signs at the restaurant noting its right to refuse alcohol to impaired people and offering free cab rides; to hold quarterly staff meetings on how to monitor customers' drinking; to put the names of bar patrons on order tickets whenever possible; and to modify its employee application form to inquire about alcohol-related convictions. The firm also agreed at its Lime Kiln Lane restaurant to remove anyone suspected of illegal gambling and to unsubscribe to a horse-racing television network.")
And the restaurant isn't the only person to blame.. in case the family members forgot, the guy who was drinking & driving (and actually killed the 16-yr-olds)was the one who chose to drink in the first place. That guy's family probably wasn't even touched in the lawsuit because they probably didn't have anything close to 21 million
