My 2 cents on Kiefer Sutherland!

First I want to say that NO I do not condone drinking and driving!!! Do not think the following post is trying to condone what Kiefer did.

At 1:10am on Tues. morning actor Kiefer Sutherland was pulled over after making a u-turn at which time he failed a sobriety test.
Sadly this is not the first DUI arrest for the actor, and he is facing yet another charge and possible jail time.

My question is this? If they are going to charge Kiefer why are they NOT pursuing charges against the club that allowed him to walk out and get into his car knowing full well he had been drinking at the event that evening???

Kiefer attended Fox's Fall Eco-Casino Party, so I believe FOX should also be held responsible for allowing him to drink and drive!
When hosting an event where alcohol will be served a liquor licence must be obtained, and in that licence it clearly states that the host of said event is "responsible" for the welfare of the guests and their actions.

Paparazzi sat out front waiting as the celebrities left, and they have it on video that Kiefer was clearly in NO state to be driving, but they wanted their money shots so not one of them asked how he was getting home, or told him he was in no position to be driving.

This whole event could have been avoided if the people in charge of this event had done their jobs correctly!
I admit Kiefer is stupid, but when a person is drunk they don't realize just how much they can effect the people around them, they think they are just fine and they are OK.
It was up to someone else to say "No your not OK and you need a cab".

If bars are held responsible for people who drink and drive why are these publicly hosted events not being held responsible as well?

To all those "entertainment" shows that chose to run this story and put his public display of intoxication on view for all, they should feel ashamed of themselves.
Report what should have really happened as well as what did happen.
Kiefer is not the only one at fault here, every person who saw him that night and did nothing but stand by and watch as he got in his car are just as guilty!
If he had killed someone that night, blood would have been on all your hands!!!
