Not a political question, but it is about something in the Legal Profession... (20)
online today!online today!rohaanCoos Bay, Oregon USA229 Threads 10,516 PostsHowdy--for a long time I have had an issue with a part of "law" dealing with what is commonly known as "attractive nuisance". For instance, if a smart aleck is mesmerized by a huge beautiful Harley motorcycle, and sits on it and it falls and injures him in the process, he can sue the owner, and usually the owner will lose because of this law. Same thing owning a swimming pool--some twenty-somethings jump your fence and get hurt (or worse) it can be the homeowners "fault"--(in California and Oregon, it almost always is, and furthermore, you MUST carry heavy insurance in order to have an in-ground swimming pool. I just think these laws are way unfair. Your thoughts?
If a guy in Cali or Oregon hit me in a bar and two of his fingers gets fractured
can he sue me for having a too hard jawline?

That is unfair, he got on somebody else motorcycle
on his own

Just shows how stupid some laws are.
Not as bad as having to have anti-idiot insurance as in Ro's examples though.
Stringy_Bob: Agreed. Might be different over there. Over here, you try to stop someone committing a crime and they come off worse, in most cases, you're the one going to Matalan to buy a cheap suit for your court appearance.
That’s crazy unfair.Coldheaven: Your rules are awfully unfair. That’s terrible.
Everyone says that, too. Still, I love America, and (knock wood...) so far I've stayed away from too much trouble. Too many people I love haven't been able to --but many of us love and defend The United States wholeheartedly, just the same. Life isn't ever going to be perfect. Pray for our country. There really are many, many kind and genuine citizens here. 
Coldheaven: That’s crazy unfair.
The perpetrator's are victims too, or some crap like that.Stringy_Bob: The perpetrator's are victims too, or some crap like that.
Yes, some crap like that--
Coldheaven: What do you get for your bonus then ?

We ve a ridiculous situation over here,..Garda (cop) doing his job is being taken to court for reckless endangerment because 3 scrotes out on their nights work commiting robberies decided to drive the wrong way down a motorway and ran head on into a lorry and were burned to a cinder. All the cop was doing was trying to warn traffic. So now every oxygen thief out there is driving down against traffic as they know they won't be followed.... totally not right ...once they re on the wrong side of the law whether walking running or driving to get away they should lose every right the rest of us law abiding citizens are entitled to

We did have a case near 20 years ago where a Mayo farmer shot a traveller...got done for manslaughter and was jailed but overturned on appeal as original trial judge didn't give the self defence option to the jury ...there is an element of self defence in our laws but has to be proportionalWhataboutromance: He shot....beat him and shot him again
Well then that’s excessive use of force so yeah he’s bound to get done for that.Coldheaven: Well then that’s excessive use of force so yeah he’s bound to get done for that.
Got done alright but overturned on appeal.....Whataboutromance: Got done alright but overturned on appeal.....
