It's Happening: Armed Robber Sues His Victims for... "Restraint of Trade"---??!

This just takes the cake.

In the last couple of days a story came across the news wires that a convicted felon failed to rob his intended victims by gunpoint, so is trying to collect from them through his attorney.

DUH!!

The story is that he walked into an Auto Zone, held up employees at gunpoint and demanded money. They instead chose to turn on him and beat him with a pipe, causing him to lose his gun and run for his useless life. He was captured within a week by police, was prosecuted and sentenced to a long term in prison.

Now he's suing them for emotional pain and suffering from behind bars. Hey, pal, live by the sword, die by the sword.

It could be argued that the Auto Zone employees were trying to effect a citizens arrest outside the store but he resisted them.

This case really needs to get thrown into the garbage can by the judge.
