MrRick77: If Illegals break into your home and physically hurt themselves they can sue you but you can't sue them !?!?!?!
There are so many things like this. The other day I was watching one of those reality court shows, and the judge wouldn't listen to anything a plaintiff had to say, citing she "had not come to court with clean hands"--(something about her behavior was not up to par with the law). However, in the next case, the same judge ruled against a driver who had clipped an illegally stopped car, even though that driver had NO INSURANCE. Since carrying insurance is a matter of law, wasn't that driver showing up to court without clean hands because she was breaking the law (the judges very own words) by not being insured? I remember when I took driver's education in high school the insurance agent telling our class if we were involved in an automobile wreck and had no insurance, it did not matter who was actually at fault; having no insurance made you automatically at fault in de facto. Has that law changed? Do we have a law that trips over itself in court?

I have a perfect solution to many of these types of problems, frequently known as "attractive nuisances", such as motorcycles, swimming pools, etc... i.e. some dang kid jumps your fence to get in the pool, or fools around with a motorcycle and it falls on him, etc..Likewise, and I know this will rattle some cages, but I am adamant that I am right about it--a kid running out into the middle of a busy street/road/highway and getting hit. Know what would solve a great deal of these problems? Hold the parents responsible, not the homeowner, car/cycle owner! We have a terrible trend of very quickly finding someone else to blame. Why, this would mean that minors (and some adults) could do just about whatever they pleased, and be completely wrong, but someone else would have to take the punishment. We need reform, and strict reform, at that. Hold the right people accountable. Yes, if you have a toddler and he or she wanders into the street it is YOUR fault, not the driver's. Sorry, but this is true. It is unfair to keep criminalizing unsuspecting people who are just going about their business, driving along the highway. Do you know what I mean?

That's weird. The only place I've seen this was on top of walls lining the street leading up to the mount of olives just outside the old city of Jerusalem.

A 90-year-old body-building, World War Two veteran who was shot in the face during a home invasion is being sued by the alleged burglar for firing back. Former Greenbrae deputy sheriff Jay Leone is accused of 'negligently shooting' 31-year-old Samuel Cutrufelli three times and causing him 'great bodily injury' as the older man defended his own home. Filing his claim yesterday in California, Cutrufelli, who is currently being tried for two counts of attempted murder against Leone, said that the injuries caused led to his financial ruin, the loss of his his home and the eventual dissolution of his marriage.

That is the thing - you can sue anyone anywhere in a court of law that doesn't mean it won't be thrown out and then you can be sued for filing a frivolous lawsuit.

Erosion of the decent citizen's rights, while propping up those of the criminal seems to be making headway in lots of countries suddenly. Our law has also changed to that effect; in any incident of violence or retaliation if the perpetrator is injured - he is taken to private medical facilities (paid for by the state) while the defendant has to fork out his own pocket. Justice?

Broken glasses on top of walls was common in Spain also.
More ecologic than electrified wires. Recycled bottles.

seen it a lot on top of adobe huts in new mexico, rural AZ too, many places in the desert, seen many with broken antique colored glass on roof. but if you did that in any US city it would be considered mantrap, probably a fine make you take it all down

LoL, he is going to have to show a negligence for that suit to even get off the ground. Seems pretty intentional to me and a shame the old deputy's bullets apparently didn't hit a vital organ.

Obviously he filed the law suit.... it's a crying shame that the veterans has to go through the whole hiring a lawyer to present him in court, take the time to go through the hassle. Hope he countersues.

MrRick77: If Illegals break into your home......
Any one that breaks into your home is breaking the law.
However, under collaterally getting into your home, you need to know your laws and act accordingly but if you or your family are at risks, you must have the right to protect your family and yourself.
Here, it is the same, you are in trouble if the “body” is in your property or outside your property. Therefore, some people have taken other options.

Agree, but "only in America" applies to these absurd rules. Elsewhere, the parents are on the hook and many, many parents have personal property insurance to cover such damages.

There are two types of justice. There's the type where you put up with that crap and hope they won't sue and then there's the other type that I can't write about because it's a public board.
