Moron Theif Sues Store He Robbed

WXYX reports "A knife-wielding thief shot during a robbery wants reparations for his suffering. In 2007, Scott Thomas Zeilinski robbed a Michigan store at knifepoint. He threatened to kill several employees while holding the weapon to their throats, reported WXYZ, a Detroit ABC affiliate. As he was fleeing, an employee shot him in the arm and back. And now, Zeilinski, who is serving 8 to 22 years in jail for the crime, is suing that same store to pay him more than $125,000 for his pain, suffering and emotional distress. "What about the stress that was brought onto the 17-year-old who was involved? What about the stress to the family? What about the fear for their life that they were put in by this guy?" store owner Ed Tomaszewski "

Lesson: Make sure you put a few extra bullets in his back so he doesn`t live to sue.

There was a 17 year old involved in a liquor and tobacco store robbery? What were they doing in the store?

@Grothesk: probably selling liquor and tabacco.
Is it illegal for minors to work in liquor stores in the US?

I don`t agree with robbery of course, but I think shooting someone in the back as they are leaving, meaning the crime is over, sounds like revenge to me. Whoever shot him wasn`t trying to stop a crime, he was getting revenge for being scared.

I say you have a right to sue, but the judge also has a right to throw it out given the circumstances.

As a nation, USA is to quick to pull out weapons.

no as a nation USA is NOT quick to pull out their weapons, maybe some PEOPLE are. crimes worse then this happen every day in foreign countries they just don`t have the media resource output to get it to people. i hope you realize MANY MANY people in the USA dont even own guns... but you`re just like all the other internet radicals thinking because one person did they must ALL be like that :-\.

and minors are allowed to sell alcohol in many (not all) states New York being one of them

@ShinyG
Minors are not allowed to sell alcohol.
...or at least in California, it sometimes varies state to state.

In some states, it`s not possible to file lawsuits for injuries sustained during the commission of a crime, but not all.
I think they should counter-sue for the emotional distress he caused them, and nail the little prick for millions.
