Say my 17 year old son did something stupid and tried to steal a few CD's from a record store and then he got caught in the act and got scared and tried to flee. The security guard and store manager caught up with him and beat the hell out of him.
Sue? You're damn right I'd sue! I'd sue the store, the manager, and the guard for every penny I could. Sure... what my son did (now this is hypothetical) was wrong and he will be punished by the courts... but what the manager and the guard did was even more wrong and they too will be punished by the courts (hopefully) and they will also be punished by me!
