Haha you bastard!

 

maybe his accomplice could sue for being traumatized having to watch his fellow criminal drown..

 

Each case has its own details and it's all about those details. If you set a trap for a burglar, you might be in for it. Kids have drowned in ponds on property that they weren't supposed to be on and the parents won too. The kids were dead, so they didn't win so much. [8D] You have to take precautions to protect child trespassers from certain hazards. I blame the Brits because all of this property law came from them. Notice what these cases have in common that the drunk asshat in Mustang doesn't have - someone got hurt.

The best cases are the spring loaded shotgun type stuff. A guy has his house broken into a bunch so he rigs up a shotgun on the door. Buglar breaks in door and Kaboom! This seems pretty fair on its face, but apparently some boring people decided that you can't defend your property(only your life) with deadly force. It's probably for the best. I can see some guy drawing down on someone for swiping his whopper w/cheese. So when you see that guy running out of your house with a diamond necklace - remember, as hard as it may be, to hold your fire.

Here's a quick breakdown of duties -

That site is funny, "attractive nuisances." Yeah, I've messed with those befor.

 

When you take the drunk chick home that insist on making out with you as soon as you meet - that's known as "coming to the nuisance". Whatever you get, you had it coming!

 

Some "facts" I remember from that particular case (don't ask me why, I just have the stupid memory thing where I retain about 80% of what I've ever read... Sometimes I can even reacll it, too)...

That particular McDonalds had had literally DOZENS and DOZENS of complaints about how much TOO HOT their coffe was. They'd even turned the temp down on teh warmer, and STILL had dozens of complaints, which they did not heed, apparently. They even had notices from Corporate to turn down th eburner, so to speak.

The Lady in question had even lodged 2-3 of teh complaints HERSELF, prior to the incident that provoked the lawsuit. In light of THAT revelation McD's lawyers argued that she did it ON PURPOSE, which is retarded for them to say that. But... If she KNEW, wht did she?

In teh end, the fact that that particular McD's HAD been warned, even by their OWN corporate HQ, and STILL heated their coffee to something like 100degrees HOTTER that the average temp of ALL teh other McD's in America... So they lost on stupidity.

Note to self: If HUNDREDS of people tell you something is TOO HOT, believe them...

 

If you yourself finds something to be to hot multiple times, then maybe you should drive the extra 30 down the road and get your coffee there

 

Or, AT LEAST not put it BETWEEN YOUR LEGS!!!

Nowadays she cudda sued GM, too (I think she drove a Buick), for not putting in cupholders, huh? Maybe piled a few more hundreds of thousands onto the pile.

 

So true. If you stop and think about all of the attempts at making stuff idiot proof it boggles the mind. And people still manage to injure themselves.

BTW, nice new avatar! You are raising the bar around here.

 

Thanks. I havent put one up cuz I was waiting for a good one. Saw ol G Dub and it just felt right
