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.

in the words of weird al yankovic: "if I sprain my ankle while I'm robbing your place if I hurt my knuckles when I punch you in the face I'll sue ya"

thats why you get a knife let him take the knife from you and then smash his head with a baseball bat gotta love the usa and there you break in to my motherf-ing house and threaten me with a weapon then i can kill you whill defending my mothf-ing house motherf-cker

Should of killed him. Can't sue if he's in a casket.

Shit like this makes me mad. The law says that you can use a non lethal wepon to subdue someone who breaks into your house so this should be laughed out of court. If not I have lost all hope in the American justice system.

there's no way that will stand up in court. all you have to do is find some trace of him in your house and your set

OP dont even get a laywer dont waste the money just go and show up for the court date the court will say some shit then put yourself on the standa nd be like uh yeah this mofo broke into my house its his own problem and the court will tell the other guy to gtfo and stop wasting there time

that's why in Texas we shoot em. they can't file charges if they're not alive :)

Don't even bother to get a lawyer! Refuse to pay a cent! Plead not guilty. Call the media, and ask them to be present in court. Represent yourself, stating that you didn't know whether he was armed, had accomplices, and he refused to co-operate, so you needed to restrain him to prevent his escape, while you searched him for weapons, looked for accomplices, and called the police, which you did without undue delay. Address the jury, and say: "What if it had happened to you? Do you think I acted unreasonably, in this situation, with at least one home invader of unknown mental state, and intentions?"
