Imagine the horror of having your home or business plundered by thieves. Not a good feeling, but even harder to fathom that the bad guys who did it could end up suing you in court.

State lawmakers say an existing legal loophole allows thieves to file civil lawsuits against home and business owners if they end up getting injured while intruding. But a bill working its way through the Alabama State Legislature would put an end to the practice.

Hard to imagine legislation that makes sense for once. I am guessing that they will apply this law to patriots they deem criminals when the state infringes upon their rights and is sued for it.

Don't worry Eric Holdout will be all over this, can't give victims rights!

Well, as sad as it obviously is, I wouldn't be surprised if he brought a suit against this.

Just add another suit to the list then. Holder already has his people all over Alabama trying to watch for a slip up on the immigration bill.

I am proud of the state legislature that we have had the last 2 years.
