A man who pleaded guilty to robbing a Delaware pizza parlor is suing the establishment for its employees being too rough with him when they tackled him to keep the gunman from getting away. From The News Journal: “In his self-written complaint, [Nigel Sykes] admits, ‘I committed a robbery at Seasons Pizza’ on Maryland Ave. on Nov. 30, 2010, just before 8 p.m. He admits he ‘displayed’ a handgun and that an employee – a delivery driver and one of the named defendants – ‘handed me $140.’ He says he then started to make his way forward in the store when a different employee grabbed him from behind and other employees wrestled the gun from him, with at least one shot being fired during the struggle. ‘That is when the assault began,’ according to Sykes' suit. ‘All of the Season's Pizza employees participated in punching, kicking and pouring hot soup over my body. I was unarmed and defenseless and had to suffer a brutal beating by all of the employees of Seasons Pizza,’ he wrote, adding the beating knocked him unconscious.” Sykes is seeking more than $260,000 for his pain and suffering.

I was meditating on things today, and I've decided that the best policy is for the police to only arrest people willing to go to gaol. If the person says they aren't willing to go to gaol, the police need to get in their cars and leave.
If there is a trial and they are found guilty (in absentia, since they may not want to go to court, either) then if they are not willing to go to prison, the state or county can just fine them and send them a bill.
This would be a much better way of handling things for all involved. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

While we're at it, how about passing a law that turds can't profit thru the legal system for things that happened while they were breaking the law ??
Simple, no ??
If only Del was Emperor.
