I guess nobody wants to take responsibility for their own actions anymore. You may remember a couple of years ago a DEA agent was demonstrating gun safety in a classroom full of children, and accidentally shot himself. Apparently it was caught on tape, and has become a very popular video on the internet. The agent wasn't amused.

A DEA agent who accidentally shot himself in the foot while demonstrating gun safety to school children is suing the agency, saying video of the incident has made him the joke of the Internet.

Lee Paige was making a presentation to children at the Orlando Youth Minority Golf Association on April 9, 2004, when he shot himself. Moments before the shooting, the 14-year agency veteran was displaying his firearm and telling students he was the only one in the room professional enough to handle a gun.

He was suspended for five days without pay after the accident, and the video was turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration. The lawsuit filed April 7 in federal court in Washington alleges the agency leaked the video to the public.

Seems to me he should have let it go. Filing a lawsuit just brings it all to the surface again.
