Personal Responsibility Be D*mned!

When a guy is pleasant enough to bash his wife, you know whose fault it is? United Airlines'.

Yoichi Shimamoto has been charged after attacking his wife at San Francisco Airport's Customs, but claims he did this because UA gave him alcohol during his flight.

A spokesman for UA said, "We believe a lawsuit which suggests we are somehow responsible for the consequences of a passenger's physical assault on his own wife is without any merit whatsoever."

Personally, I find it to be very odd news. UA cannot be to blame. I'm waiting for this guy to lodge a lawsuit against San Francisco Airport. I mean, obviously it's their fault, because they allowed him to walk into Customs. Or, it might be the fault of the country he arrived from, for allowing him to bring souvenirs, which necessitated him waiting in line at Customs. The company who laid the carpet at Customs might be responsible for the attack, since this man walked on that carpet. Or possibly, it's the fault of the guy who was in the Customs line in front of him, for being in front of him.
