I really like Morgan and his comedy and it was very sad to hear someone died and others seriously injured. I wish them all well and hope for the best.

In the few interviews I've seen about it, Tina Fey basically hired him to play himself. Just juiced up a little.
She worked with his insanity for years I guess, realized how genuinely funny it is, and realized that no one will ever be as good at writing a character like Tracy Morgan as Tracy is atbeinga character like Tracy Morgan.

Good for them.
I see this being a huge shit storm, as it rightly should be. I realize Walmart is just trying to lower their own damages, but still. Someone is dead and 2 people were severely hurt as a direct consequence to an action their driver 100% caused.

Yeah, it's a huge fucking tragedy when friends die. But seriously, folks: Wear your goddamned seatbelts.
Morgan and company will argue they were stopped in traffic and seatbelts would not have mattered. They're probably right. But still...wear your goddamned seatbelts!

Airplane seat belts are probably 10 years old if we're being generous probably 20 years old, and still forceably buckle up with those, granted not by choice, but i'm pretty sure the last time i skimmed DMV manual back seat belt wearing is a must?
That sounds like legal maneuvering, throw in some possible deniability and then drag it out a few years and see how the other side reacts (like maybe they will take a lesser amount now as opposed to a greater three years later). Also they can see how the injured recover. If Morgan pops out of bed next month and continues working then the loss of possible earnings is greatly diminished which I hope happens because hes a funny dude. But its all a legal game at this point.

California all passengers must wear seatbelts at all times the engine is on. Even if you are parked.
