juddling Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - A man is suing an auto-parts store for assault and battery after he attempted to hold up the business and employees responded by beating him with a metal pipe. Dana Buckman, 46, walked into an auto shop brandishing a semiautomatic pistol July 5, 2005, only to have it turned on him by employees Eli Crespo and Jerry Vega, police said. The men beat Buckman with a metal pipe and held him with his own gun. Buckman escaped, only to be arrested a week later. He pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery and was sentenced to 18 years in prison as a repeat violent felon. Now Buckman has claimed the men chased him out of the store and continued to beat him. He is suing the auto shop and the two men for the injuries he suffered and for intentionally inflicted emotional distress. Crespo and Vega could not be reached for comment. emotional distress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy should be taken in the alley and beaten again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 If they beat him outside of the store he might actually have a case..... not saying he should but he could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldmember Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 exactly how badly beaten can you be from a tailpipe? that seems just slightly worse than say getting beat with a wiffle ball bat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minors Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 This sounds like a case a while back where a burglar fell through a skylight while trying to break into a house and cut himself on a kitchen knife that was on the counter and sued the homeowner and because it was in the liberal state of California he won.

LosMediasBlancas Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hmmm, so he pulled a gun on two NY Latin guys who had access to tools. Yep, that's a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of a story I heard out of Michigan. A man owned a small general store or something, and kept getting robbed as thieves would enter through the same window each time. One thing this guy sold was spring loaded traps and .... well you can figure out what happened. He got sued by the theif and iirc, lost.

Maybe he should have had OSHA come in and check the place's safety out for theives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an urban legend. Did that actually happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
