He used French in a badass fashion, possibly for the first time ever. That = :thumbsup:

You need to change law schools if you remotely think this applies. Mantrap is an unattended device. And this case was in an unattended property. You missed this part, "It stands for the proposition that, though a landowner has no duty to make his property safe for trespassers, he may not set deadly traps against them." And "Bodine v. Enterprise High School" is often misquoted as a burglar. Bodine was actually redirecting a light so they could play basketball. Again, fails the stink test.
As long as the case wasn't tried in California.
Kudos to the pilot, crew, and passengers. :wine:
:wine: I can just imagine the pilot droning on in sing-song fashion (to fool the highjacker) like they do when they are spouting off their final approach monologue, but actually saying "Upon final approach please throw hot drinks into the face of the assailant, kick him in the groin, then knock him to the floor and pummel him senseless. Thank you for flying Air Mauritania, and have a nice day!"
If this happened in the US what makes you think the hijacker would have left the plane alive?
"I'm sorry but his gun went of when I tried to take it way from him, killing him in the process"

Geez, people! The statement was: "people here sue and win when they are injured while breaking into someones house"
The response was: "the cases you're thinking of were fake. They didn't exist"
I pointed out a famous case where someone was breaking into a house (I guess an outhouse, actually), got hurt and successfully sued. I also pointed out a case where someone was breaking into a school, got hurt, sued and got a seven figure settlement.
The cases I cited may not be directly on point to the OP, but they are applicable to the statements quoted above.

I bolded the part that I based my response on.
The cases he is probably "thinking of" invariably involve someone slipping on the floor and falling, cutting themselves breaking your window for entry, tripping on a rug and breaking their leg, or some other equally ridiculous claim. Setting up a shotgun with the sole intention of maiming or possibly killing someone breaking into abandoned house that hasn't been occupied in years isn't quite in the same ballpark.
An exact analogy would be setting mines in your yard to kill or maim tresspassers. To hell with being sued, you would be lucky if you didn't go to prison.
Did he accelerate while the plane was on the ground and can somebody give some more info about this guy
