Drunk Motorcyclist Who Hit Wild Boars Awarded $8.6 Million

2009-04-02T18:29:00.001-07:00

(stolen from loweringthebar.net) (w/o permission)

I can't remember how many times I have tried to warn people that bad things were going to happen if we didn't tame our state's boars and train them to be alert for drunk drivers when crossing the street. Why don't people listen?

Tame the boars, people!

Last Friday, a jury in Monterey, California, ruled that the state would have to pay Adam Rogers $8.6 million for injuries that he suffered in a 2003 traffic accident. Rogers, who had indeed been drinking, was riding his motorcycle on state Highway 1 just south of Carmel when he hit six wild boars that were crossing the road. (He probably didn't hit all six, but that's what the article says.) Rogers suffered very serious injuries in the crash.

He then sued the state Department of Transportation, arguing that it was responsible for the accident because officials allegedly knew the pigs were regularly crossing the road, not just to get to the other side but to feed on vegetation that the state was tortiously encouraging to grow as part of an environmental restoration project. Yet the state did nothing to deal with this, said Rogers' attorney, Larry Biegel. "This was a situation that they, the state, created," he said, "and then once they created it and saw what was happening they did nothing to stop it." (He meant the pigs-crossing-the-road situation, not the giving-my-client-a-driver's-license-and-allowing-him-to-buy-beer situation.)

Wildboar How would one deal with such a situation, were one inclined to do so? (Short of the mass pig taming I have been calling for, that is.) Biegel pointed to the fact that, after the accident, the state put up a "Pig Crossing" sign and used hunters to keep the pig population down. I'd think those would have been inadmissible "subsequent remedial measures," and in fact it's not clear from the report whether this evidence was admitted or not. And it's even less clear to me how either of those measures would have prevented this accident. Pigs don't read, and drunk drivers don't read very well; and unless you kill every pig in the state, which would probably be almost as hard as taming them all, there is still a chance that one of them is going to dart out and throw himself under a motorcyclist. But the jury apparently disagreed with this analysis.

It also seems to have discounted the fact that Rogers was legally drunk at the time of the accident, with a blood-alcohol level of at least .10. According to the report, the jury concluded that alcohol "wasn't a major factor in the crash." Maybe it was a major factor in the verdict, although sympathy probably explains that equally well.

I feel mixed up right now.
I feel hopeful.
I feel miserable.
I feel as though I've been stabbed in the heart by people who claim to care.
I feel angry at the people who exploited their children on street corners and used them to make people think they're protecting them by voting yes.
I feel enraged at the father who said to his kids... "stand here for an hour and feel true hatred" while they hold Yes on 8 signs, not sure of the reasons for which they hold them.
I feel scared.
I feel tears.
I feel proud of this Country.
I feel ashamed of this State.
I feel cold.
I feel hopeful that Yes We Can.

I feel sore in my shoulders and lower back from standing for two days holding signs.
I feel like i shouldn't visit www.palinaspresident.us anymore.
I feel amazed that we have a black president elect.
I feel like the little asian girl who came with her mom to hold a sign for No on 8 will run for president one day
I feel wet.
I feel loved by so many friends
I feel hated by so many "friends"
I feel that change will come, but I want to know when.
I feel discriminated against.
I feel my breath hot.
I feel thankful for my friends who came and stood with me all day yesterday, despite the cold weather and being hungry.
I feel thankful for the lady who brought us bags of snacks yesterday to say thank you for being visible for standing up for equality.
I feel thankful for the man who gave us Peets gift cards to say thank you.
I feel thankful for all the hundreds or rather thousands of people driving by and honking in support.
I feel thankful for the bro-vote
I feel thankful for the little homey smoking his cigarillo who looked like he would mad dog me, but gave me a thumbs up.
I feel thankful for the little old couple who drove past with big smiles of gratitude.
I feel more tears.
I feel proud and awed by the people who would flash thier wedding bands at us.
I feel love for those that have supporded us with every No vote.
I feel sad for those who thought they were supporting us with a yes vote, I know they meant no harm.
I feel alone.
I feel Silvio's love
I feel the support of my family, and I never thought that would happen.
I feel proud of my father for voting for the first time in his life.
I feel proud of my mother who would have voted for Obama (if she had registered in time)
I feel like I've smoked too many cigarettes today.
I feel hopeless.
I feel that I want change.
I feel like this is getting too long.

um! tattoos are AMAZING SOMETIMES

2008-08-30T15:18:00.000-07:00

hi. Here are a few tattoos that I have decided to get on my body. In the same exact places as those who have gotten them before me.

SAME EXACT PLACES.

I want to cover up that other "thing" on my arm and replace it with this beauty! She's a really hottie.

Then I want to get this beautiful piece of art

work. I think Sonja or Cynthia first showed me this. Sent it to me... Something. The original that is... not the sweet tattoo. I think this will totally win me some points with a judge one day

AND THEN FINALLY. AND THIS ONE WILL REQUIRE A LITTLE MORE WORK THAN JUST SITTING IN THE TATTOO PARLOR AND CHATTING IT UP.... it may involve some surgery... and well..... other possible issues.

BUT

TOTALLY

WORTH

IT!!!

So... here

This is Jeffrey

2008-07-07T17:10:00.000-07:00

He likes long walks, romantic movies, feeding the geese (mainly canadian), bike riding, eating too much and then complaining about being a fatty, listening to music, watching terrible TV that has absolutely no relevance or importance to his life besides to fill his brain that should be filled with other stuff with a bunch of crap.

If anyone knows someone who may be interested in him, tell them to give him a ring. His best friend is a 4-eyed raccoon, and a fat toad, and an armadillo who is a total socialite.

(I posted this for Jeffrey, he's shy sometimes, but he's slowly getting over it)

Well it is another night of ADA and it is fucking amazing! Only one more night to go. Thank god (mine doesn't sign his name w/ a Capital G). I just downloaded the new NIN album just for shits and giggles. We'll see how it goes/if I ever listen to it.

"I'm disabled and thats why I molested little Johnny" - NO GO!!!!

What else... Hmmmm this weekend is B&E's wedding. PARTY TIME. My speakers have been borrowed, my tent has been borrowed, my sweet pushing play on the Ipod skillz have been borrowed, my laptop will have been borrowed for a sweet slideshow, and my videographerizing skillz will be soon to be borrowed (that means you too cynthia).

OK. I'm done blogging. I've been watching VH1's i love the new millenium... and it is fucking awesome!

Aa & the ADA class

2008-06-19T20:15:00.000-07:00

So the only reason that a blog was created by me was because I am sitting in my ADA class... screaming in my head... picking at my scabs... begging for 9pm to come... and wasting massive amounts of time surfing the internet.

So congrats. I suppose I should start being clever and putting shit up and pictures and stuff. But let's be honest, thats not really me.

Here is a really sweet picture from Aa's website. www.sleeep.com. If you can figure out what picture on the website I will soon be adding to my body, I'll give you chocolate. (Its not this one... though I really like it)
