Pay up

By ShouldHaveLetHimTakeTheTV - 07/11/2009 17:01 - United States

Today, I got a letter in the mail saying I'm being sued by the guy that broke into my house last week. When I walked in and saw him, I tackled him, punched him in the face a time or two, and restrained him with zip ties. I now have to pay for his broken nose and face charges of assault. FML

That's gonna get thrown out of court rather quickly. Also, sue him bactoor the emotional trauma you suffered of walking in on a robbery :P

Nobody said our justice system was perfect, but it still sucks super bad for you.

NC you have to warn intruders before using any force against them. The warning intruders get here.. the wracking of a slide as I chamber a round. Dead men don't sue.

as someone who just went through that exact same thing the only thing(s) you can do is: nothing or make sure there's only one side to tell. *shrug* it is what it is.

all those that say he souldnt have punched him blah blah blah. what the hell are you gona do? ask him to please nicely leave. you ******* pansies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! id go for the nearest kitchen knife and chase after that ****** till i get him in the back (yes apparently if you attack with his back turned the law sees it as he was not advancing toward you so you attacked), after that i'd flip him over and stab him in the chest to say he charged at me.

this is why when someone breaks into your house, you kill them. dead men tell no tales. and they can't sue.

Sigh. No you don't have to pay for that shit. I assume since you wrote that that you got the letter today, that you haven't gone to court yet. He THINKS he's going to win the suit, but he's not. He broke into YOUR property, and you had no other choice but to defend yourself, as well as make a citizen's arrest. You will win your case. I've seen this happen many times, where the bad guy thinks he can get out of whatever he did by turning it around, it very very rarely works.

+1. It doesn't take much to get a civil suit into court in this country, but it takes a lot to win one. He's got no shot and you're going to get to see the judge yell at him a bit

Except it may not have happened today. If you look at other FML's, you'll notice that they ALL start with 'Today'. The rule for submitting an FML is that is has to start with 'Today", meaning that this could have happened a week ago, or a month ago.

Like I said before, you should of killed him. He can't sue if he's laying in a casket.

So? Counter-sue him for breaking into your house. He's got no case, and you'll get a civil judgment against him in addition to his criminal charges.

That's what I hate about the 'justice' system. It's so ****** up that it's mainly protecting the crooks. I mean you get charges for breaking into a house? How about charges of burglary first?
