Sometimes, I read things that seem like jokes (like the Planned Parenthood working telling a 15 year-old about sex shops and fetishes) and it's difficult to grasp where the person that is being described is coming from. Despite the posts on this blog with the "Republican Tendencies", I consider myself open-minded. That said, if Nigel Sykes ends up winning $260,000 ... we have a real problem within America. I had never heard of Nigel Sykes until reading today's Fox News First email newsletter:
A man who pleaded guilty to robbing a Delaware pizza parlor is suing the establishment for its employees being too rough with him when they tackled him to keep the gunman from getting away. From The News Journal: “In his self-written complaint, [Nigel Sykes] admits, ‘I committed a robbery at Seasons Pizza’ on Maryland Ave. on Nov. 30, 2010, just before 8 p.m. He admits he ‘displayed’ a handgun and that an employee – a delivery driver and one of the named defendants – ‘handed me $140.’ He says he then started to make his way forward in the store when a different employee grabbed him from behind and other employees wrestled the gun from him, with at least one shot being fired during the struggle. ‘That is when the assault began,’ according to Sykes' suit. ‘All of the Season's Pizza employees participated in punching, kicking and pouring hot soup over my body. I was unarmed and defenseless and had to suffer a brutal beating by all of the employees of Seasons Pizza,’ he wrote, adding the beating knocked him unconscious.” Sykes is seeking more than $260,000 for his pain and suffering.
Again, wow.
