It's time for donkey of the day i'm a democrat so being donkey of the day is a little bit of a mixed question but like a donkey

now i've been called a lot in my 23 years that donkey of the day is a new one donkey of the day for monday january 23rd goes to daniella lease uh she's 26 years old and she's a canadian woman who in 2019 was convicted of impaired driving that led to a massive explosion in london y'all might have forgot or never heard of daniella uh but it she pled guilty to four counts of impaired driving, and she was sentenced to three years in prison in 2021. Can I refresh your memory? Let's go to CTV News for the report, please. 22-year-old Daniela Lees faces a dozen charges connected to the blast that rocked the Old East Village mid-August. Lees faces charges including impaired operation over 80 milligrams causing bodily harm and four counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm. On August 14th, emergency crews responded to the

Woodman Avenue address for a collision. Once on scene, responders noticed the smell of gas and within minutes the house exploded. Police believe the vehicle hit a gas line when it collided with the home. Now, roughly 100 homes had to be evacuated and seven people were injured, including multiple first responders. Jesus Christ. Well, you know, we live in a world where nobody holds themselves accountable for nothing. OK, nothing is never the fault of the person. All right. Blame always has to go to someone else. So Daniela is blaming someone else for this. She's actually filing a lawsuit

against Ovations Ontario Food Services, alleging that the company shares some of the liability for civil lawsuits filed by the victims of the blast because they served her alcohol. Yeah, she's blaming it on the alcohol. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to CTV News for the report, please. The kitchener woman behind the wheel in an impaired driving crash that destroyed and damaged several homes in London

is suing the company that served her at Budweiser Gardens that night. Daniela Lees is facing a number of civil lawsuits in relation to the August 2019 crash and says Ovations Ontario Food Services should share liability. Now, CTV's Krista Simpson is joining us now with more on this story. Krista, before the crash, Lise was at a concert. Ricardo, the statement of claim says, among other things, the company served her alcohol, didn't monitor how much she was drinking, let her drink more than she should have, and ejected her from the venue without making sure she was not going to drive impaired. In October 2020, Lee's pleaded guilty to four counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm, ultimately being sentenced to three years in prison.

Lee's lawsuit against Ovations Ontario Food Services says the crash would not have happened if the company had not been negligent. You know, I came up in an era when drinking and driving was a choice. Okay, you can drink or you can drive. You can drive or you can drink, but you cannot do both.

Okay, we had so many reminders not to drink and drive. You know, South Carolina had the highways and the dieaways, commercials. I don't know if they were national. I think they might have been national. Virginia had to drive sober or get pulled over. Those might have been national, too. I don't remember.

But remember the buzz driving is drunk driving campaigns. I know Texas had the faces of drunk driving ads. I mean, don't drink and drive was literally drilled into our brains since day one. OK, not to mention this happened in 2019. All right. The ride share revolution has been happening for a long time. OK, the lifts, the Ubers of the world. There was somebody you could have called Daniela. Now, don't get me wrong. We know that some bars can be held liable when they know a person is intoxicated and they keep serving them. I don't know if this is one of those situations. OK, the lawsuit is saying that they knew she was intoxicated and did not train a supervised staff serving alcohol and put profit above safety.

I don't know if all that is true. I don't know if all that is proven. All I know is that in the drunk driving case, the primary defendant is the drunk driver. Okay. We live in a society where nobody wants to be held accountable for their actions. It's always somebody else's fault. She's better off saying the devil made me do it. Okay. If you're going to blame somebody, blame Satan, Lucifer, Beezlebub, Trump, whatever you call the devil, she might as well have put the blame on that evil entity because all that is more believable and makes more sense. But at the end of the day, we are all accountable for ourselves. Simple as that. Accountability breeds responsibility. So whenever you see someone doing something as irresponsible as Daniela did, it's because she's probably a human who has never been held accountable for

anything she's ever done in her life okay that three years in prison she's serving right now is the first time she's probably ever been held accountable for her actions and of course she doesn't want to take full responsibility well kids always remember 99% of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses. Safe to say Daniela falls under that 99%. Please let Remy Ma give Daniela Lease the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er.

You dumb. All right. Donkey of the Day is brought to you by the law office of Michael S. Lamisoff. Don't be a donkey. Dial pound 250 on your cell and say the bull if you've been hurt in a construction accident. That's pound 250 from your cell and say the bull. Had enough of this country?
