Tribe To Sue Beer Companies For Alcohol Problems
http://www.keloland.com/NewsDetail6162.cfm?id=127503
Tribe To Sue Beer Companies For Alcohol Problems Published: February 9, 2012, 11:56 AM LINCOLN, NE - An American Indian tribe says it will sue some of the world's largest beer makers for knowingly contributing to alcohol-related problems on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. The Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota announced Thursday it will demand $500 million from five international beer manufacturers for the cost of health care, social services and child rehabilitation caused by chronic alcoholism on the reservation. The lawsuit also targets four off-site beer stores in Whiteclay, Nebraska, a town with a population of about a dozen people on the South Dakota border that sells nearly 5 million cans of beer annually. The Connecticut-sized reservation has struggled with alcoholism and poverty for generations, despite an alcohol ban since 1832. Pine Ridge legalized alcohol in 1970, but restored the ban two months later. This thread isn't intended to be racist so get that shit outta here you ****ers. I just find it ridiculous that someone is willing to sue beer companies because they drink too much beer. |

Maybe we should take their land and send them off to some place really remote.

And maybe they should be provided blankets to keep them warm on their journey.

Not all that shocking. There is a town just south of here with 50 people, one bar and 2 liquor stores. It's the only town in Cass County that is wet, and adjacent Bowie County is totally dry. On Sundays, it's the only place in the entire MSA you can buy package beer.

This will never make it to court. Budweiser will agree to sign a treaty and wind up settling for some beads.

Not sure the Indian Tribes should be opening up this door. If they can sue the beer companies, can't all of the gamblers at their Indian Casinos turn around and sue them on similar grounds. This is just a stupid lawsuit, people need to take responsibility for their actions.

You'd think they'd get even enough robbing through the casinos.

I just thought of something. I've never been to an Indian casino. They sell liquor in those, right?
