Slip & fall lawyers win either way

From Hot Air:

A Pizza Hut deliverer fired shots at an armed robber who threatened his life, wounding him and leading to the criminal’s capture by police. What kind of reward did James Spiers get for his self-defense? Unemployment:

A Des Moines pizza driver who was suspended from his job after he shot an armed robber said today he has been overwhelmed by support from people who cheered what happened.

“But no one had contacted me directly about a job offer,” said James William Spiers III, 38, who was sent home by Pizza Hut managers after he fired multiple shots at a man who put a gun to his head Thursday and demanded money …

Spiers, who has a valid handgun permit, said he’s been “pretty much in the dark” about his job since the incident. Vonnie Walbert, vice president of human resources at Pizza Hut’s corporate offices in Dallas, said last week that employees are not allowed to carry guns “because we believe that that is the safest for everybody.”

“I just know that, given what happened, it’s not likely I’ll have a job anyway,” Spiers said. “Right now, I’m just taking some time off, trying to cool things down.

Ok - Ok - calm down -- I know what you're thinking -- but it isn't Pizza Hut's fault. It's YOUR OWN damn fault for electing liberals who keep writing laws in favor of slip & fall lawyers -- and also filibustered almost every conservative judge for the last 8 years.

Look -- when you're an "EVIL CORPORATION" you are free and fair game for the slip & fall lawyers. If a corporation says it's ok for it's employees to carry guns and then, God forbid, an accident happens, the slip and falls will blame the company instead of the person. You know -- the same as blaming the homeowner if someone slips and falls on the sidewalk in front of the home owner's house. They know they EVIL INSURANCE COMPANY would rather pay than litigate -- very simple. And THAT is the reason EVIL CORPORATIONS make so many seemingly idiotic policies. Capisce?

If we ever get tort reform through and a sort of "loser pays" type of system, all of a sudden the EVIL INSURANCE COMPANIES will find it more desirable to defend themselves from this sort of bullshit suit, our insurance rates will come down, and slip & fall lawyers will dry up and go to hell.

Hey -- maybe the dead pizza guy's family will now be able to sue Pizza Hut for not allowing drivers to carry guns -- and this contributed to his death. Perfect for slip & falls -- they win both ways -- genius, huh?

If you vote for liberals, I hope this affects you VERY SOON.
