    im so glad that this picture exists, because this man will NEVER fucking live this down.

    Not only did he commit a heinous crime, but he’s also a fucking dumbass.

    Also, i’m shocked they didn’t immediately settle this case. You would think doing anything other than immediately settling this would be corporate suicide.

      It sounds like it’s their insurance company that is handling the thing and their first action was to fight instead of settle. If AA really wanted to send the right message to the public with this announced backtracking, they’d have announced that they’d just dropped their previous insurance company in favor of one that’s not completely insane.

        the ONLY reason i can assume the started fighting this, was because they didn’t know about the image.

        Big fucking mistake it turns out. The only reason i mention settlements is because they’re privately settled and often give people fuck tons of money. The dude would’ve be arrested anyway, so it’s only good PR at the end of the day, since now they likely would have an NDA, but apparently whoever is working for them is a little fucking stupid.
