A former Schererville bar is not legally liable for a patron being blinded in a parking lot fight after closing time because the attack was not foreseeable, according to a ruling last week by a divided Indiana Supreme Court.
Eric Porterfield, now 45, lost his sight on Dec. 10, 2006 outside Cavanaugh's Sports Bar and Eatery, 1013 W. U.S. 30, when he was attacked for unclear reasons by several other customers sometime after 3 a.m., according to court records.
Porterfield sued the bar for negligence, claiming Cavanaugh's had a duty to protect him because the bar was "located in an area of criminal activity," frequented by individuals "with a propensity to engage in criminal conduct," and had "experienced criminal conduct" for years prior to the attack on Porterfield.
Man blinded in Schererville bar parking lot fight not entitled to sue, Supreme Court rules
Read that puppy all the way to the end. That is this guy:
Porterfield, a born-again Baptist missionary who is blind, told the Charleston Gazette-Mail Friday that LGBTQ people are a “modern-day version of the Ku Klux Klan” and reportedly used the world “fa***t” in a committee meeting Wednesday.
Porterfield later defended his comments and joked to a news station that he would drown his children if they were gay.
