Here's one thing wrong with our legal system:
A convict in Fla is suing, for half a million bucks, the guy whose van he had burglarized. The scumbag, also caught with cocaine, stole a bike from the van and the owner apprehended him with the help of a couple buddies. Apparently the three roughed up the burglar, putting a knee in his back so it really hurt! The scumbag is suing for pain and distress. Let's see, if he hadn't broken into the van in the first place, none of this would have happened. Upon conviction, under my government, the guy would be breaking rocks in the hot sun, picking up papers along the highway with his hands, etc. Then he'd have to wear a sign, "I am a convicted burglar" upon release. I know, I know...he's basically a nice guy or he had a rough childhood or some other garbage. Baloney/Bologna! Make it so he never wants to steal again.
And, yet, our legal system, instead of punishing the guy as above, lets him waste others' time and money (including taxpayers') in the form of a lawsuit. What gov't official accepted this? Why wasn't the guy thrown out on his ear?
And the law-abiding folks, once again, get the ficky-doo.

About Me
- Ron Marinucci
- I have been married to Karen for 47 of my 73 years. I have two sons, Mike and Matt, both adults (at least in chronological age), and three grandchildren. I am retired, I suppose. I continue to teach college history, part-time; I still enjoy it, although the increasing amount of silly paperwork is grating and will likely be what drives me to fully retire. I have a BA in history from Amherst College and three graduate degrees. I do a little writing, too, some of which actually brings in some money.
