These policy arguments are now reduced to closing arguments. So do you think you can sell this in the face of evidence that the guy was falling down drunk and he could have been stopped by a call to the police?
This is a classic for the old saying "hard facts make bad law"

I think that is one of the reasons why the court here ruled that negligence was a possibility.
This situation was akin to selling a loaded gun to a falling-down drunk. It's a pretty extreme case.
