Over the years, you begin to wonder how our laws became in effect, or more so, how law makers don't clean up some significant loopholes.  One particular and alarming loophole is the ability for anyone to sue for any cause.  Now, while I am not saying a person does not have the right to receive compensation for damages done against them in a normal situation, but this one takes the cake.

In numerous cases across the United States, burglars who have attempted to break into a home and received injuries as a result of their attempt, such as a laceration from entering a broken window (broken from the intruder) or injuries sustained from the homeowner who confronted the burglar attempting to defend their property or life, have successfully sued the homeowner.

As a society, and a community, how do we allow these loopholes to exist.  Home owners should not be liable for any damages that an intruder may receive as a result of their criminal activity.  As a law enforcement official, we tell people they have a right to defend their property or themselves in a reasonable manner.  People should not be fearful that their actions they take to defend themselves or their property could result in a successful lawsuit against them.

Those who engage in criminal activity, should be stripped of any and all of their rights to pursue class action suits against the victim, if the victim acted in a reasonable manner that would be normal under similar circumstances.   What are your thoughts?
