I mean come on - this is just ridiculous. The barman cannot be held responsible for everyones actions in his establishment. That's insane. Do school principals go to jail because on of their students commits a crime during school hours?
Thank the govt that made alcohol legal to begin with.. its so fucked up.

google "dram shop law" and see what it has to say. I remember when I bartended/waitressed in Austin 18 years ago..I had to take a test and get certified and I could be held responsible for serving someone if they left the bar drunk and got into an accident resulting in injury to another.
