(17,502 posts)69. that is not how the law works
I doubt it works that way in Italy. Then again, if their civil system is anything like their criminal system
The truth is, Italians have long since recognized the unreliability and compromised nature of their courts. At the moment, the Italian public's trust in the justice system is at an all-time low. According to a November poll by Euromedia research group, only 16 percent of Italians fully trust it; just two years ago, the figure was 28 percent. And Italian civil rights groups are intense in their criticism of what they view as kangaroo courts.
Wow and I thought our trial by media is bad. But then, you are talking about a legal system that was created by a bunch of lead poisoned imperialistic savages who forced slaves to kill each other for fun and profit.

So if some guy buys or rents a car and drives it off a cliff to do himself in, is Hertz responsible? Is the guy at Wal Mart or Ace responsible if he or she sells the rope to someone who uses that means, which is the most common in Europe? See where this goes?

At the range where I shoot, you don't rent a firearm unless you come in with one.
