how can someone sue you for shooting them in self defense when their intentions were to cause you bodily harm/death? makes no sense???
How does someone win a law suit for 2.7 MILLION dollars because they spilled a cup of McDonalds Coffe in their own lap while trying to take the lid off to put in creamer?
Regardless of how screwed up or legal system can be, it's far better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
