As all the gun guys say "better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6".

This quote sounds like a promo for a porno.

Yeah, and those guys have guaranteed never had to fight hostile litigation / prosecution and finance it.

You'd rather be dead than deal with fussy legal shit?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And where did I say that?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's just kinda the implied meaning of what you said? My comment can be rephrased as "it's better to be alive and in court than dead" to which you responded "guaranteed the people who say that haven't had to deal with the court". So if that's not what you meant then what did you mean?

What I posted, nothing more.

Alright.

Yeah, and those guys have guaranteed never had to fight hostile litigation / prosecution and finance it.

It's better to be alive and in court than dead

So, following what you said, people who would rather be alive and in court over dead haven't had to deal with hostile litigation. So the superior stance to have on this binary is that it's better to be dead. Because dealing with hostile litigation is so much trouble its preferable to just die. Am I missing something? Am I misinterpreting?

I have no idea what you're doing over there. Apparently taking words at face value is not one of your strong points. I'll enjoy your down vote. Have a lovely week.

Ok lol. Take it easy

financing that shit is free since in a criminal proceeding it would be appointed to you, i think the same might be true in a civil matter, but im not sure how that would even apply here.

You will always need your own separate legal representation in all cases always. My attorney charges $850/hr in six minute increments. Anything having to do with attorneys, judges or courts is never ever going to be free.
