You are shtiging the goal posts. You wrote "Another is that Abelseth managed to convince a bartender that she was 21. Old enough to buy."
How am I shifting the goalposts?
Abelseth was drinking in an establishment with a minimum age of 21 to drink.
Barnes assumed she was at least 18.
I'm not shifting goalposts. I'm keeping them the same for everyone. She shouldn't have pretended to be of age. He should have been more careful picking up women in a bar. They shouldn't have made a baby.
The list of scumbag behavior here is kinda long. And that's all before the custody battle. Then it gets worse.
