In Texas, a woman dentist who found out that her dentist husband was cheating on her ran him over in a Hilton parking lot. We used to see clearly that it would be wrong in such a case to sue Hilton hotels for negligent training of employees – thus for making it too easy for wives to run over their cheating husbands. But that’s what happened.

The author significantly misrepresented WHY the Hilton Hotel was sued because of the actions of its employees.

If the employees had called the police when Mrs. Harris physically attacked her husband's lover in the Hotel Lobby, the evening would have ended quite differently. In fact, it was the hotel's employee who literally placed Mrs. Harris behind the wheel of her automobile -- when she was clearly too upset to be driving.

I see fault with how Hilton's employees handled this explosive situation. I believe the hotel's management was correct in admitting negligence in the training of their employees.

Hilton would have been sued if they had refused to let her drive.

I don't see fault on any part of the Hilton. It is not their business how "upset" the stupid woman is. They just want to get her off their property without creating a scene.
