That's One Bitter Gimp

Just Kill Yourself Already


When life deals you a shitty hand, do you fold? Do you just lay it down and accept the cards you were passed? No fucking way...you sue the hell outta somebody and fuck if it actually hurts way more people than you. That must be the mindset of this quadraplegic guy who went to see his nephew's birthday party at a local basketball gym and left suing them for holding the party on the 2nd floor which he couldn't access without just being carried up.

(CBS13) RANCHO CORDOVA Amid tears and fond memories, Basketball Town in Rancho Cordova has officially closed after moving out last night.

The company says it can no longer operate because of the high cost of fighting a costly lawsuit brought against the court.

Owners say their financial troubles started when a man claiming to be disabled was at the court to attend his nephew's birthday party being held is an area on the second floor with extra seating. He was reportedly unable to access the area. The employees offered to take him up the stairs or bring the party downstairs. The party was eventually held downstairs at the pizza parlor, but the man decided to sue the court for damages.

The cost of fighting the lawsuit is $100,000.

The company hopes to continue its program at community centers and schools.

I guess it is tough to give a hand-out to someone who can't lift theirs but come on, this is not the way to make up for your many shortcomings. Think of the kids, man!!
