horst Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Found this story on another site [ QUOTE ] ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) -- A man is suing an auto-parts store for assault and battery after he attempted to hold up the business and employees responded by beating him with a metal pipe. Dana Buckman, 46, walked into an auto shop brandishing a semiautomatic pistol last summer, only to have it turned on him by two AutoZone employees, police said. The men beat Buckman with a metal pipe and held him with his own gun. Buckman escaped and was arrested a week later. He pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery and was sentenced to 18 years in prison as a repeat violent felon. Buckman claims the men chased him out of the store and continued to beat him. He is suing the auto shop and the men for the injuries he suffered and for emotional distress. "In some respects, you wonder if a case like this even needs a defense. It speaks for itself," said lawyer Patrick B. Naylon, who represents AutoZone and the employees. But lawyer Phillip R. Hurwitz, who represents Buckman, said the employees crossed the line by pursuing Buckman and attacking him. "The danger was past," Hurwitz said. "These two employees took it upon themselves to go after Mr. Buckman after he left the store."

LifeNRA Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: Whats wrong with this country Just like a few years ago here in Perry County, PA. This knitwit went to rob a house while the family was on vacation. Somehow he got stuck from the garage door closing down on him. for almost a week, he laid there eating dog food and drinking sprite. When the family came home, he was arrested. He then sued the family for $500,000, and WON!!! Something about a faulty garage door! UN-BELIEVIBLE!!!

It would be bad enough if I had to shoot someone in self defense, but to then have that person harrass me endlessly with frivolous lawsuits is just too much to consider.

ParrotHead Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: Whats wrong with this country Yeah - if they would have beat the man to death then it's all a one-sided story and everyone wins. The guys doing the beating win and society as a whole wins because one more thug is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: Whats wrong with this country Doesn't make since to me. Getting beat with a pipe, held at gun point and he escapes? Oh well, it's the great northeast where lawyers rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law will say that you had time to think about your actions then, which makes the act premeditated instead of reflex-action self-defence. Even though we all hate to see a low-life like this win in a case like this, he probably will, because a civilized society needs those boundaries between self-defence and a premeditated act. It really is for our own good, even though it's hard to understand or see it in cases like this. The employees, should all plead temporary insanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple. To answer the original question, depends on the state. In Ohio you could bring that suit too because "the danger had passed." Do I think it's right? Nope, but it is the law. I tell my law students (toungue in cheek, sort of) if you ever get burglarized, make sure you shoot the assailant in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Re: Whats wrong with this country Hope it never comes to it, but had heard if you have to shoot someone and they make it out the door, make sure and drag them back in. A true shame that we now live in a world where the liberal judges are awarding criminals judgements against their victims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Re: Whats wrong with this country If I shoot them and they make it out the door, Kudos to them cause I am trying to drop them in there tracks. Oh and there will be a blood trail going out the door. .40 cals tend to do a good job of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
