Being Stupid is Dangerous -- Dead Moron's Family Blames Others

From the SAEN:

"Robert Esquivel was a fun-loving guy who had a habit of staying up late and falling asleep in unusual places, especially after drinking, his family said."

Oh, where to begin. Robert Esquivel spent the night Saturday drinking heavily, after which he found his way onto an unlit county road in the early morning hours where he passed out in the middle of the road. (Unusual places, indeed.) It was foggy. He was wearing black. One driver passed him and called 911 and EMTs were dispatched. Hmm. "What could possibly go wrong?" you may be asking. Well, to start with the driver who reported the moron, Robert Esquivel, wasn't very specific about his location on the dark and winding road. In fact the caller was wrong, placing him half a mile further up the road. The caller also reported that he was on the "side of the road," rather than in the middle where he actually was. What happened is simple and not much of a surprise, really. The idiot got run over and killed. The next part isn't really much of a surprise either. His family is blaming everyone but the dearly departed dipshit. Getting blind-drunk and passing out in all kinds of stupid places was apparently a habit with Mr. Esquivel. This according to his mentally challenged sister, Maria Salas:

“He was always knocking on doors at 5, 6 in the morning and asking, 'What are y'all doing?'” Salas said. “He was just crazy. He would fall asleep anywhere — on top of my table, on my kitchen floor. I would find him sleeping outside. He was the crazy one.”

Well, "the crazy one" is dead and the sister is laying blame. But not with her brother. Oh, no. That would never do. Instead, she had decided the fault lies with the EMS workers who were out looking for his stupid ass and had the misfortune of finding him passed out in the middle of the road. Here's her flawless reasoning:

“He was always knocking on doors at 5, 6 in the morning and asking, 'What are y'all doing?'” Salas said. “He was just crazy. He would fall asleep anywhere — on top of my table, on my kitchen floor. I would find him sleeping outside. He was the crazy one.”

So, asshat is wearing black in pitch dark while passed out in the middle of a winding county road where anyone could have come along and run his useless ass over, but it's not his fault somehow. Right. Waiting for the lawsuit... Read more: http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local_news/article/Family-blaming-rescuers-in-man-s-death-4113716.php#ixzz2Exyx8ifR
