Denver, CO - I took my Girlfriend to a BBQ at my cousins house for the first time since we moved here. There was a lot of family at the party but as it got later there were fewer and fewer of us. It turned into a game of beer pong between My GF Steffanie, Jason (My cousin). Jason's wife Alexa was on the side lines and so was my other cousin Nikki and Jason&Nikki's mother my aunt Kola. So Jason and Alexa are getting riled up because they want the beer cups full for a total of 100oz of beer per side. there was a lot of **** talking about it because Steffanie didn't want to drink that much beer after already drinking all night. Eventually I see Alexa starting to change. She is standing up and being very aggressive in her body language. At one point Kola tells her to sit down. Then out of no where her eyes dilate and she gets this amazing sinister, evil smile that I will never forget. She takes her arm and swipes all 7 beer cups into Steffanie and Steff steps back and holds her arms out and says "Wow, Really? Are you really going here?". Then Alexa grabs another beer cup and slowly pours it on her (with the same evil smile glued to her face), as if to say "Yes, I am going here". Then Alexa demanded for her to leave and without hesitation she grabs steffanie and wrestles her by the hair to the ground. From there I break it up and then we end up being chased into the street by Jason and Alexa and then nikki comes and tackles her from behind as I'm trying to get us out of there. Kola is frantically trying to control her children who are un responsive. Steff ends up with a broken arm.
We are waiting to see if charges will stick down at the DA's office (there is a dispute among sides and witnesses as to who attacked who after the beer). My question is, Since Jason and Alexa are the homeowners, Are they responsible for things such as, out of control parties with excessive drinking, fights, brawls, that sort of thing? I would call it negligent behaviour that resulted in an injury. That's even if they weren't involved. Here they were at least proved to be involved and in the eyes of a lot She caused the whole thing. If it comes down to he said she said, Who is on higher ground here?
Thoughts, feedback is greatly appreciated!
