Commentary, sarcasm and snide remarks from a Florida resident of over thirty years. Being a glutton for punishment is a requirement for residency here. Who am I? I've been called a moonbat by Michelle Malkin, a Right Wing Nut by Daily Kos, and middle of the road by Florida blog State of Sunshine. Tell me what you think.

Burning Rum

Another idiotic lawsuit.

MIAMI - A woman who was allegedly severely burned by flaming rum during a Bacardi promotion sued the wine and spirits producer, claiming the product is defective and dangerous.

Danielle Alleyne, of Miami, suffered horrific burns after she was hit by the flaming rum at a Miami night club in August 2002, according to the lawsuit filed yesterday in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court.

The lawsuit said the burning rum stuck to her skin and continued to burn as she fell to the floor and tried to put herself out. Alleyne suffered second and third degree burns and is permanently disabled and disfigured.

A bartender, who was not identified in the lawsuit, was pouring shots when a customer lit a menu on fire and placed it in the stream of alcohol. A bottle of Bacardi 151 that was being used to pour the shots turned into a flame thrower and sent flaming rum all over Alleyne.
Just another example of a suit brought because of someone with deep pockets. What about the bartender? Is he being sued. For Ms. Alleyene and her lawyer's information, alcohol is flammable.

Whomever the lawyer is who brought this suit is another crook masquerading as a lawyer. The greed here is that apparent.
