njdionysus Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I was just watching the channel 5, Fox News... the former owners of Twilo are being sued for $120 by the family of someone who died there over 2 years ago. One of the former employees was aquitted on charges of taking 3 overdosed partiers into a back room instead of calling an ambulance. Anyone hear more about this?

preludeboy Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 twilo was at fault! from what i hear, the kid had only taken 1 pill... instead of trying to avoid neg publicity, they should have called the ambulance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club owners didn't force the drugs down that kid's throat, ain't no way they're responsible for his overdosing. That's bullshit. As if any amount of money is gonna buy the kid's life back or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, following that line of reasoning, the parents would have to sue EVERY single patron there that night that also didn't call an ambulance.

o-jay® Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Both sides are responsible. The jury can decide that Twilo was 60% responsible and the kid 40% responsible etc., and then Twilo would pay 60% of whatever judgment the jury gives the plaintiffs. You can allocate blame in New York, it's not an all or nothing proposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preludeboy Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 you people are telling me if someone is on the floor, and looks as if he or she is dead you would stick them in a room in hopes of them comming out of it??? are you guys crazy? i know the staff at twilo aren't doctors but give me a break... if someone is in that state, don't you think it would be wise to call the ambulance???

nycmuzik Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 You know what...Fuck Twilo....I really hope they do lose. Maybe some of the other club owners in the city will look at this and start to enforce a no drug policy. Getting searched at the door is bullshit. They dont care if you bring drugs into the club as long as they dont catch you with it. I see way too many people now that are too mangled to even know where they are. You might not agree with me but thats the truth. Get rid of all the drugs and maybe some new clubs will open up that could bring in some top talent. Its not like city doesnt want these clubs opening because they hate the music we listen to. Its cause they attract a large group of people who's first priority is to pop some pills and then hopefully the music will enhance the roll.....

cintron Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 club music ain't made for the drugs. The drugs were made for the music. and as for that kid... I think there should be some apportioning of blame on both the kid and on Twilo, but i don't think twilo should come out of it as if it killed the kid all by itself.It's a shame that someone can screw up that badly and get themselves killed, but if they die on YOUR doorstep then it's your fault. Fucking lame in my opinon. If you didn't do drugs or were EDUCATED and CAUTIOUS about what you did, then maybe that kind of shit wouldn't happen.This makes my balls itch. Idiots like that kid are the people who give clubland such a horrible image and the people who chucked him in a room at Twilo just show that this is the REAL WORLD and you're ON YOUR OWN. If you can't handle it alone, then don't stick your neck out that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
