Let's say they deserved to be punished for thier trespassing. Was such punishment administered?Never mind the suit for the money or the 24 clams. The law does not say that one should recieve such a great reward when injured during the course of trespassing or other crime.That is why I say they got what they deserved. If a home invader brekas into my house at night and goes after family and I shoot this person dead... well he or she got what they deserved. One or more of us will not live to see sunrise because a crime of home invasion is being committed. Hopefully it's the perp.If I dont get him square in the sights, most certainly the courts will. If the perp says to the court that I ought to be made to pay him a reward of 24 clams for being injured due to my bad markmanship why I should be thinking how broken our justice system would be.If they dont remember the punishment for trespassing, then they will be reminded by thier own injuries and the memories. That will be a great deterrent against future violation of the trespassing rule.If they still trespass in the future and climb onto another railcar to get a view of the mountain of money they recieved and fried... well hopefully such dimwits will be removed from our breeding pool.No. What is done, is done. Let the Courts sort it out. That is why we have them in our great Nation.
