Stand Your Ground is Bad: Immunity from Civil Suits.
We have heard something along these lines:
“Because, you know we are letting them gun nuts get away with everything, right? They should be sued by the families or the victim of their inconsiderate attacks!”
You might remember the story of 90-year-old Jay Leone who was shot in the face inside his house by a burglar and then turned tables on the attacker and shot him back. Well, Samuel Cutrufelli (A.K.A The guy who got shot by an old man) is now suing Mr. Leone for causing him “great bodily injury, and other financial damage, including loss of Mr. Cutrufelli’s home, and also the dissolution of Mr. Cutrufelli’s marriage.”
These are the things that make you think: “somebody should step up, slap some sense of shame on the idiot and send him to the homeless shelter.” Mr. Leone is planning on counter-suing and I figure there will me more than one lawyer willing to take the case pro-bono just to do some legal slapping on his/her own.
And Gun Control activists get all miffed when you tell them they are Pro Criminals after all. The truth hurts.
