indian tribe to sue beer companies

[juiceweezl]

Sue the casino for lurring you in and taking your money.

This is exactly what should happen. Someone should start suing every Indian casino in the nation. They are taking money in excess of what should be allowed and are taking advantage of us.

We should not allow liquor stores within 100 miles of indian reservations to help them out. I wonder how many of em would still be backing that lawsuit?

[GhostTX]

Guess they are true Americans now. When all else fails, blame someone then sue: the American way!

This is what I'm thinking as well.

But...can they sue? I thought reservations were independent nations? Can a country sue a company?

reminds me of the lady who sued mcdonalds for getting fat.

I miss those McDonalds Fries

Ah, I remember the good ol' days when I used to drink Crazy Horse 40s.

So they've just admitted that all the stereotypes about Indians and alcohol are 100% true.

I am going to sue the Indians for passing along to me the genetic traits of not being able to control my alcoholic tendencies.

That's one stereotype that was never debated much.

Indians are lazier than mexicans are hardworking

Everybody's a victim.

Lawsuit riches - the new American Dream.

I think you may have missed a little bit of punctuation in there somewhere.

If they win this case i expect that's exactly what will happen by default. No store owner will want the risk of another money grubbing lawsuit being filed against them. The stores will relocate to an area where others stores are located.

I think that their alcohol problem is tied into their economic situation, and no amount of restricting alcohol is going to make the problem any better. This lawsuit will ultimately just make it harder for the residents to get alcohol, and people will fire up stills and make their own, or will turn to crystal meth.
