Who they gonna sue?
  • The company that placed the guard rails to keep people off the road?
  • One of the officials keeping people off the road?
  • The rope manufacturer or post manufacturer placed to keep people off the road?


Wait; none of those were there?



Reverse the rolls:
dumb dumb gets hurt standing in the road with the sign and decides to sue.
Who does she sue?
Would she win?




So; who gets sued successfully?
Probably TDF for not keeping people off the road, and sued by the bicyclists.
It's an official event.
S'posed to be safe for participants and spectators.

The Frogs want to sue the woman holding the sign and also go after her with criminal charges. Basically, they want to put her in prison, bankrupt her, and turn her into an example.

No. I make sure I carry a piece of carboard for just such an occasion.
