I've been saying that since 9/11. Everyone was worried about airline security - which is important and all, but I don't think it's a feasible option for terrorists anymore. We need to be protecting ourselves against bigger threats that can cause more damage and deaths.

Well, bombing a plane midair is still a big worry. It's just hijacking and relying on compliant victims is no longer feasible.

I was going to mention bombing, but after they killed 3000 people and destroyed two symbols of American capitalism, I'm not so sure they'd be content with just killing a couple hundred people. It wouldn't have nearly the impact that 9/11 had.

Naw, not after 9/11. The passengers could torture a hijacker for hours and no jury in the US would find in the hijacker's favor.

as much as i want to believe you, people here sue and win when they are injured while breaking into someones house. if those people can win lawsuits, anything is possible.

While it is true that people sue like crazy at times, the cases you're thinking of were fake. They didn't exist.

ORLY?
Also search for "Bodine v. Enterprise High School".

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!"

The statement you responded to was: "people here sue and win when they are injured while breaking into someones house" A spring gun fits that description.

As for Bodine, he was stealing the light, not redirecting it.

psshhh, i would have gone with a takedown then go into half guard followed by a kimura lock.

Why would you let a guy like this even still breath? I'd RNC the bejesus out of him.

If this happened in the US what makes you think the hijacker would have left the plane alive?

You need to go to a better law school.

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.

You wanna know the funny thing? It could happen with them cheap Eurotrash pistols.

 

[noagname]
