"You're" as in, people like you.

You knew damn well what I meant by that.

[Ginzburgh]

Rofl calm down homo. It's only the internet.

P.S. Is that you in your avatar pic?

[Thon]

i'd like to meet the jury that would give him a cent

unless the case is decided by a judge, i forget exactly how it works, but i think the party being sued decides whether a jury is involved or not

The defendant get to choose the type of trial.

[Harrison]

Yes that is me in the picture, back in mid-March.

Yeah we get your point. But when you post things like "you guys wouldn't have done a goddamn thing".... then you take it to another level. They said they been in the Marines and the Army, I've seen my fair share of shit in the coke game. If we sat there idle ... well, it just wouldn't happen that way. Sorry

[Ginzburgh]

You look like a fun loving hippy. Lighten up.

[Agrajag]

I simply said that the way the laws currently stand, he has a case.

The question then is this: Do you believe it is just that a criminal should have the right to sue someone for beating him like a rented mule after trying to rob said person?

I do agree that in today's society the jackass does have a case. However, I feel that a judge should read the case facts and dismiss it on the premise that the accussed criminal is a dumbass and cannot even rob an auto parts store correctly.

Well, I guess I have been lucky enough to avoid physical altercations. I am not in the services nor have I ever been in the "coke game".

To answer your question, no. If you guys read between the lines that would have been evident. As I said earlier, in the country we live in, he has a case. But I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon and say something like "I would have pumped him full of lead with my 9" because I think it's ridiculous that anyone would risk their lives avenging an auto parts store. Apparently you guys took offense to that.

[Harrison]

I know I didn't take offense to that. I wouldn't do shit if someone robbed a store I don't own or lose money from if it's robbed.

I know I do agree. Why? You can't use a crime as an excuse to play cop for a day.

ou naturally assume that everyone that posts here is a spineless internet dork, Ginz. Ralph is an ex-marine. I have been in the Air Force for 15 years and I am sure that there are many other posters here with some form of military or civilian training. Not everyone that posts here is a complete geek incapable of defending themselves or disarming an assailant. So, quit the toughguy act. There's always someone bigger and badder than you.

Oh so you remember what branch of the miliary you were in? That's great. I'm glad you didn't forget which one like how you forgot which uber planar raiding guild you were in.

[Drem]

Yeah I'm not proud of it and I'm glad it's over now but some fucked up shit happens in that scene. It's too bad.

[Gaazy]

I just like to fight, we used too all the time just for fun even. Dont really do that anymore because everyone seems to carry guns and knives now, but its still fun

[Gaazy]

On the subject of ex-military people, I was drunk one time a while back at a bar and some guy was trying to pick a fight with people, and when he came to me I ended up hitting him...biiiiiig mistake, turns out he was some kind of ex military airborne something or other, he whipped my ass all around that godamnbar

[Minrott]

Sorry, it's called temporary insanity. These guys had a gun pulled on them, were threatened with their very lives and snapped. They weren't thinking rationally, they were trying to "get him back." They just lost it, and it was his actions that caused them to.

Temporary insanity is what caused that guy to burglarize AutoZone because he is poor and his livelyhood was threatened by a poor upbringing and he snapped. He just wasn't thinking rationally, he was trying to "get back at society." He just lost it, and it was everyone else's actions that caused him to.

[Markarado]

You're being sarcastic right? Sounds like more liberal bullshit.

[Thon]

did you suffer a closed head injury or what?

[Jay]

I was being sarcastic and trying to make a point by showing Minrott how silly it is to alleviate responsibility from someone by using the "someone made me do it" excuse.

[Minrott]

I meant, *weren't* trying to get him back. As in it wasn't revenge.

I didn't say someone made them do it. I said the criminals actions led to consequences. I'm all about personal responsibility. I'm the number one defacto supporter of personal responsibility. They took their own saftey into their own hands after someone threatened to keep them from ever seeing their children again. Forgive me for not shedding a tear he got messed up. The criminal's actions led to consequences and if he sues, he's alleviating his responsibility for what happened.

Boo fucking hoo, the world is now short one piece of shit.

This is the basis of arguments for many lawyers trying to get their clients off.

I was thinking more akin to a "crime of passion" regarding the rage and adrenaline involved due to having their lives threatened. It's usually used in adultery cases, but is applicable to this case as well I think.

[Markarado]

He tried to rob the store. They defended the store. It should be a clear cut case. With the way lawyers can manipulate shit I wouldn't be surprised if he won the case.

[kaharthemad]

As far as it goes..did the DA prosecute the two guys? ummm nope. then it should not go past that

[Ginzburgh]

He tried to rob the store. They defended the store.

Wrong. Where have you been the whole thread?

He DID rob the store and left. There was nothing left to "defend". They then ran after him down the street wielding metal pipes and AVENGED the store.

The situation was over, diffused, kaput. They took it upon themselves to embark on a vigilantly mission because he robbed their...auto parts store. And lets face it, guys that work at auto parts stores that beat the shit out of people with metal pipes are probably criminals themselves. The robbery wasn't the reason they did what they did, it was the excuse. They probably look for people to beat the shit out of all the time because they are punks.

They were stupid. Period. I hope the judge makes an example out of them.

No I don't want the robber to win his law suit. No I don't want more rights for criminals. But these two jackasses should be punished by the LAW.
