  1. Just in case anybody was wondering, the AP article gets it right:

    …lawsuit filed Monday alleges his father, Dana Hutchings, was not made aware of the risks and danger…

    JustTheNews dropped that all-important “not”.

  2. “Marshall Hutchings filed the suit Monday alleging father Dana Hutchings was warned about the risks involved in such contests”

    And yet he still chose to enter and participate. Sounds like you’re admitting you don’t actually have a case, then.

    ..yep, Cincinnati has the most corrupt concil anywhere. We had the Gang of Five conspiring in violation of sunshine laws to strategies about screwing up the firing of a horrible city manager and other things, but skated on criminal charges and made the taxpayers pay their lawyers and civil fines. One of them was actually convicted and removed on unrelated wire fraud charges, and another mayoral candidate is ALSO facing wire fraud and corruption charges while another…

    You get the idea. Heres just a small taste.

    …it’s pretty messed up. They also ruined my second-ring suburb comuity with illegal project removal and gentrification, and arrested homeless people who dared camp near the downtown parts of the city where the neckbeards pay top dollar to live in riverfront condos in green-zoned walking neighborhoods.

    The hypocrisy is as off the charts as the corruption.

    …that’s why I moved out to the country. I don’t even drive through there any more than I have to, the whole place is too corrupt and too woke for me, from the kneeling police chief to the County Commissioner who replaced a dead Democrat slumlord who once threatened to have City firemen beat up a reporter who did a story she didn’t like, it’s quite a cast of characters only they are ALL bad guys…

  5. Why would one have to be “made aware” of the risks of shoving as many tacos into one’s mouth as time allows?
    Unless Mr. Hutchins was retarded, impaired, or a mindless Demonrat, there’s no reason to suspect he didn’t weigh the danger against the “reward” and proceed at his own risk.
    By shoving tacos into his maw, he implied knowledge and consent.
