Reply #166: And your analogy is precisely wrong [View All]

[alcibiades_mystery]

In each of your analogies, you premise the law-breaker causing damage to himself in the general commission of the crime - running into a door, or falling acidently, or, in the case where you attrribute some other agency, getting bit by an owners dog. These are all wrong. The rancher committed an act on these two guys. They didn't cause the act themselves, nor was it an accident, nor was it committed by a legally non-culpable agent (a dog).

The fact that you don't "like it" or that it "bugs you" is of no interest to me. Your argument is completely without basis in law, and is actually dangerous when we "think of it in terms of humanity" as you suggest.
