[quote user="rrnut282"] Yes, I have heard that, and I am scratching my head why I have to pay if someone uninvited and unwanted and warned gets hurt where I don't want them to be.  When did consequences for the actions of others become my problem?[/quote]It arises from the weighing of your right to not be subjected to trespass against the right of others to not get killed or injured by a hazard that you have created.  Suppose you have (for whatever reason) a hidden booby trap on your property that could kill a person, but you know about it, so you are safe.  Say you have your property clearly posted against trespass.  And say a child wanders onto your property (for whatever reason) and gets killed in your booby trap.  And say the child could not read nor understand the concept of trespass.  Just on a moral basis, do you think you would bear some of the responsibility for the child's death?
