First of all, what happened to her was horrible, but when you are under-aged but legally an adult (19YO), drinking and partying, drink so much you lose control and pass out, have to sleep it off in a parked car, and you wake up to a personal attack, you cannot blame the HLSR. You especially can't blame this organization when this happens 2 months BEFORE rodeo season and the trailride's arrival into the sanctioned event in Memorial Park.
Can't sue the two attackers because they are criminals, although they have been prosecuted, tried, convicted, jailed, the served their time and already released...no money there.
Soooo...this lawsuit is purely a money grab...chasing after the money in the deep pockets.
This is NOT a matter of lack of safety and poor security. This is about lack of personal accountability and personal responsibility. How many times, over and over again, are girls and women warned about being alert, aware and in control? How can you act so out of control, then go a sue an unrelated volunteer organization? 4951
