French drink-drive hosts cleared – A French court clears a couple who failed to stop a drunk friend driving home and killing a family in a crash. [BBC News]
It has to be admitted that sometimes people (and I include myself in this) lack social responsibility. The case of a woman that lay bleeding by a roadside whilst atleast 12 drivers passed (some even having to swerve to avoid her then continuing on) is a very good example. There is however the other side of the coin where people have to take responsibility for their own actions. The idea of the couple actually being found guilty is quite scary. How about prosecuting gun-shop owners when shootings happen?
Admittedly not the best contrast in examples (the unconscious woman could hardly ‘take responsibility for herself’) but you get what I mean
