Marin County: Suspected burglar sues 90-year-old man who shot him - Inside Bay Area

I told you you'd be angry
I especially loved the part where the POS's lawyer says that this was a drug deal gone bad. Yea, lots of 90 year old meth dealer running around these days.

This occured in CA BTW.

My understanding is that a very high number of self defense justifiable shootings result in civil cases initiated by the person shot or their family. Even when they're patently ridiculous, it still costs money to defend yourself against them...and with some of the juries out there they might just get an award, after all if they never worked they would stop doing it. Since there are a lot of scumbag attorneys out there who will do it on contingency, there's zero down side to trying for the scumbags family.

I never get angry about stuff that happens in California. I'm no longer even surprised. It's not like it's happening in the U.S.A. ya' know!

And realistically, there is no good reason for ANY state to NOT have this carved in stone. Anything other than this might as well be a **** hole third world country.

Great reason to avoid cali... but i think you could have that problem anywhere..

 

[rugertoter]

Read about this on another forum...all I can say is what I said there. Its Kalifornia, what do you expect.

Not here in Indiana. per the IC linked above "if the person reasonably believes that that force is necessary to prevent serious bodily injury to the person or a third person or the commission of a forcible felony. No person in this state shall be placed in legal jeopardy of any kind whatsoever for protecting the person or a third person by reasonable means necessary."

My lib buddy wanted me to get upset when some cops/guards were whipping wholesale @ss on some Occupy group at Berkeley...

"Wait, you think I should be upset when some California-liberal-university-anti-gun-coexist hippies get their First Amendment rights trampled on?"

I read this today. Even the mainstream media thinks its a joke. I think the civil suit will be thrown out. Or, like a victim said, he'll counter sue.
