Again, let's keep this logical. It is very unlikely that my toddler is going
to be trying to take someone's radio or hotwire someone's car at 2:00 a.m.
The problem we have in this country is that we are more concerned that the
criminal gets fair treatment that we tend to forget that they COMMITTED A
CRIME and need to be punished for it. Too many lawyers, instead of trying to
see justice done, try to get an obvious criminal off, and glory in that. We
need defense attorneys, but to have a criminal sue someone protecting his
property shows that we as a society have swung way too far the wrong way. In
my opinion, if you get some darning needles stuck in your butt while trying
to steal someone's car, you got what you deserved.

I'm not fond of lawyers and I love lawyer jokes, so when someone
suggests that we "kill all the lawyers" I'm all for it. But what
Shakespeare actually wrote was "FIRST let's kill all the lawyers."
Then we can kill all the judges who interpret the laws. And all the
jurors who apply the law to the facts and make those awards everyone
complains about. And all the legislators who pass the laws that the
lawyers argue about, the judges interpret and the jurors base their
decisions on.
And then when your toddler wanders into the neighbor's garden to
smell
the flowers and gets blown away by the shotgun rigged to deter
intruders
from stealing vegetables, then we can . . . uh . . . ahhh . . .
hmmm.
Maybe not.
