National restaurant chains like TGI Friday's have excellent training programs regarding the serving of alcohol. The families are not sending the restaurant industry a message. The topic is one that restaurant trade magazines study in depth. No one wants to be the bartender that served a killer.

We need to hold people responsible for their behaviors and quit trying to place blame.

The man drank too much at Friday's, went to another bar drank some more, refused a ride home. Then he killed two people. He did it.

The restaurants train their people and some servers have to undergo state certification as well. (Texas has the TABC certification to serve). They are doing all they can, but sometimes it isn't enough to stop someone from leaving. I think we all know someone who can drink & drink, and still come across sober. The people who drink & drive need to be punished. We can't bring this guy back to punish him. But the next person who lives through the experience needs to be punished severely.

**now jumping down from my soapbox, thanks!**
