We actually had this happen in our town. A guy shoot a man fleeing after robbing him, and he wound up being arrested himself. Laws suck, sometimes. If we reverted to the old days, alot of this pety theft would stop.Originally posted by Obsidian
Hmm, if you shoot someone for trespassing, do you get arrested and sued? Or just arrested?
>snip>
EDIT- if the robber drown in YOUR jacuzzi, then thier family would sue you for negligence(SP).

They always say to use less force then that intended to be used against you from a would-be home invader. I personally keep a baseball bat in my room ( I play baseball
), but I wouldn't hesitate to "scare" off the poor chap.
Living close to the beach, we often hear of people suing the local councils, one case being because of some moron who dived off the pier into the water unaware that tides tend to make the water shallower at times. I guess he thought the no diving signs was just the council's way of ruining everybodies fun. Hence the proposal to place parking metres on our beloved cafe strip adjacent the beach to cover any future acts of stupidity.

Re: Just to add a little..
EDIT - Oh, and Tammy, in the US the law is that if an intruder steps over the threshold of your home, you are allowed to shoot them. Don't know what this says about mothers-in-law...
Where's that "I love America" thread again...? I too am highly amused by this, except for the bit where innocent people have to pay for being burgled. I think "despair" is the correct word for how I feel about this...Originally posted by Weasel
I keep my dog in a fence..inside of another fence to keep from being sued.![]()
I asked my wife not to wax the floors anymore, scared a criminal might break in and in the process of lifting my tv, slip down, hurting his back.![]()
I'm thinking of taking the wheel locks off of my rims, I believe it might cause someong undue mental anguish in the process of stealing them.![]()
