Ever read a story that was so incredible you just had to pass it on?
I humbly submit to you this story. It’s the saga of a burglar (31) who was shot by his victim (90) during a home invasion i
n the great state of California.
Here’s the short version with a healthy dose of Jarhead’s special style of reporting:
So this dumbass breaks into an old guy’s house and starts to rob him at gunpoint. Then the old guy asks if he can use the bathroom. The criminal says, “Sure!” And guess what? The old dude was a gunslinger and had a couple of guns hidden in the can. He comes out practicing good gun control and plugs the bad guy a couple of times. The bad guy shoots back and gets the old guy in the face. They wrestle and eventually the criminal runs away.
Apparently the burglar felt this was way too much violence and is suing the old guy for:
Now, Cutrufelli (aka The Dumbass), 31, is suing Leone for causing him “great bodily injury, and other financial damage, including loss of Mr. Cutrufelli’s home, and also the dissolution of Mr. Cutrufelli’s marriage,” according to SourceNewspapers.com.
Defies the imagination doesn’t it? I mean c’mon, you break into someone’s house and get what you got coming and now you’re gonna whine about it and start a lawsuit?
My only question is whether Mrs. Cutrufelli is divorcing him because he’s a thief or because he’s a pathetic loser and got his ass kicked by a 90 year old man. I guess it doesn’t matter either way.
Obviously there’s a lawyer out there looking to make a quick buck. (Are there any lawyers who read this blog? Let me know.) Here’s a quick lawyer joke for you: “Man, it was so cold last winter I saw a lawyer and he had his hands in his own pockets.”
Seriously, what’s your opinion on this, folks? Should we as a country give this moron the ability to go after Leone for damages for something that was blatantly the moron’s fault? Ultimately something like this is bound to waste taxpayer money and I’ll be damned if I give the thumbs for a lawsuit like this.
Sound off below!

If we lived in a world with more people like Mr. Leone, we wouldn’t really need SWAT teams, would we?
This lawsuit shouldn’t even be allowed to be filed, let alone actually move forward! If something happens to you in the commision of a crime, or due to a crime that you committed, I STRONGLY feel that you should just be SH*T OUT OF LUCK!!! Someone like the “dumbass” should be sent to a penal colony and left to his own devices, so long as he is NEVER seen in society again!
The very idea of this happening is so wrong to me it just MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL!!!
OK, I’ll get off my soapbox now. Sigh… sometimes I just don’t understand this country anymore!
Dead men tell no tales………and they dont SUE either:)
No kidding. The only thing 90 year-old Mr. Leone needed was a better pair of glasses.
A direct CNS impact would have ended that lawsuit before it started.
What he needed was a double barrel shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot. Afterwards, call the painter & install new carpet, then the old man should sue the next of kin for damages.
My very first thought was “the wife is divorcing him and has taken up with the lawyer!” True about this case even making it to the court system, what a waste of human effort and court time taken from legit cases. They would not want to pick me for that jury!!!!
The Lawyer that took this case should be disbarred.
I’m not a lawyer, nor do I portray myself as such on stage, screen, radio, television or internet.
I could never remember all the lies I’d have to tell, or to whom I’ve told them. If you’re going to tell lies, you’d better have a better memory than your Mother.
Seriously, what kind of “man” robs a 90-year old person. The same kind that files a law suit for the piece of sh*t. Did you hear what happened to the lawyer who took some viagra? He got taller.
Haha! Great joke, Ozarkana.
The only thing the courts should give him if we were not a weak mamsy pamsy nation is the choice between hanging or beheading .
No way, no how, he wins that case. Dumbass was convicted of the crimes he committed. I’m a CA resident who lives and works in the general area of where the case is happening. We are all laughing at that case here. A lot of people are pissed that it’s even going to trial as it’s a waste of resources but that’s the “beauty” of the American System. Anybody can sue anyone for anything. The reason it was allowed to go to trial was because one of the hits Dumbass took was in the back, the argument being that he was fleeing, the danger was over and it was that last shot that created all the problems for Dumbass. I’ll bet everything I own though that Dumbass gets nothing but a bill for court costs. Now, had he broken into the house, been discovered by Leone and was shot in the back by Leone outside the dwelling while fleeing; in CA, he would most likely have a case (and Leone would have probably been arrested and charged, a conviction would depend on the jury and the area).
its too bad the old guy is even subjected to this at all , he didnt ask to be robbed or shot by dumbass , then adding insult to injury , he has to put up with the stress of defending himself from the courts ……………………getting more and more ridiculous every year . Now I understand why Jefferson never read the news .
“The man who never looks into a newspaper
is better informed than he who reads them;
inasmuch as he who knows nothing is
nearer to the truth than he whose mind
is filled with falsehoods and errors.”
Not only that but Jefferson probably got sick of reading about all those church congregations calling him the anti-christ for championing seperation of church and state.
unfortunately anyone at anytime can file a lawsuit. THis one will go away and the lawyer will not get any money, but he will get to be on TVwithout paying for an ad to drum up future business.
Why dont shaks eat lawyers? Professional courtesy
sorry meant sharks….bad keyboard
Hope I’ve still got it when I’m 90. And I hope I can still own guns here in CA.
If not , you can move over to AZ ……………..we are gun friendly .
Hi Waterboy, If you don’t mind, here’s a couple of ideas to try to ensure 2A Rights in Cali.: Vote against any Politician that’s against your right to own a gun for protection. Join/Donate to a Cali 2A Organization. I’m a member of these 3– California Rifle Pistol Association , Gun Owners of California , Golden State Second Amendment Council . Get others to do the above. PS – Every State has a couple of 2A orgs. Google can help find them. Thanks for reading, UPDATE-Obama just won his 2nd Term-the Second Amendment is Doomed.
You mean the constitution is doomed.
I am a lawyer in New Orleans. We have liberal judges but even they would not put up with this suit. Only in California!
I refer perusers of this blog to Wm. Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Part II, Act IV, Scene II: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”.
a good idea but they are only 1/3 of the problem,there are still the idiots who bring suit and the crazy judges who will actually hear such cases
Judges are lawyers…. For the most part politicians are lawyers… So really, the lawyers are technically the major problem in this situation
Chefbear! Where the heck you been?
Been keepin’ a low-profile for a while now… Dealing with work-comp issues…. Do you have the same email? I’ll explain in private.

Let me know what’s happening, bro.
This case makes me sick. I hear ridiculous things all the time but this is worse then most.
Welcome to the declining America. Anyone can sue anyone for any reason. The old guy should counter sue EVERYONE associated with the pussy-scumbag who tried to rob him. Sue the scum bag, his lawyer, the scumbag’s soon-to-be ex-wife, the scumbag’s mamma, everyone…
The nerve of some people. Wish I could say I’m surprised, but I’m a middle school teach who has worked in an inner-city “at risk” school where the students’ families are on every form of government “assistance (dependance), feel entitled to EVERYTHING and whine about everything when they get caught being criminals. Ugh.
I enjoy you because of your own efforts on this web page. My niece really loves doing research and it is easy to understand why. Many of us know all relating to the powerful tactic you render very helpful tips through this web site and therefore foster contribution from the others on this matter plus my simple princess is really understanding a whole lot. Have fun with the rest of the new year. You have been performing a superb job.
Get that Jarhead – she wants you to buy Prada!
Hang the asshole and his lawyer side by side
When I took my Concealed Carry class (as required by my state), my instructor warned of this. He said that just because you can shoot someone without breaking the law, eg in the case of a home invasion, that doesn’t mean that there won’t be civil consequences. Anyone can sue for any reason. If you are defending yourself in your home from someone definitely intending you harm, expect his widow to sue you for wrongful death.
Crazy how far our legal system has drifted from common sense.
Joe
Hey Joe – yeah, it’s crazy alright. Writing this kind of post is just my way of rebelling at a system that no longer functions as it was meant to.
Well written Castle Doctrine Laws & Criminal Act Non-profitability laws can prevent this kind of crap. Of course liberal states almost never pass either one.
Actually, believe it or not, in CA you can shoot someone in your home but you have to prove there was reason to fear your life was in jeopardy. Shooting someone outside of your home is a completely different story (even if they are on your property). Even if going to trial, most juries wouldn’t convict you if it was truly defending your family/home.
Stuff like this really illustrates why we do need a national stand your ground law!
What’s the difference between a dead lawyer in the road and a dead skunk in the road?
There’s skid marks in front of the skunk.
Did you know that there are only two lawyer jokes?
The rest are true.
Nairb
Attorney at Law
Nairb,
I guess if you had any real skills you would do something else.
Just another lawyer joke for you …
Nairb – nice to see you have a sense of humor. Thanks for reading!
Do the crime – Do the time – ’nuff said!!
Joke for Jarhead:
There once was a town in the midwest that had only one lawyer & he was poor. Years later another lawyer moved into the same town & now they are both rich.
Ha! That’s not a joke!
What’s the differance twixt lawyer and liar? Liar’s ‘ow y’ sai it in ‘straiyan
This case should be thrown out of court, but won’t be. I keep expecting things to make sense, but they rarely do anymore. Knowing that our country has people who are sufficiently brain-dead to re-elect Obama is scarier than the fact he was voted back into office. Nothing makes sense anymore.
It’s sad that California is nothing but a litigious state. You can sue for anything but have to have burdon of proof to win or loose, sad.
The most likely reason may have been drugs, last night in my area a man broke into a home and was so spun on meth he walked right over the grandmother staying there watching her three grand kids while the parents were working. She was able to get the kids in one room, call LE and they got there in minutes to get the guy. One of te lucky stories.
I respect the old man and keep my bedroom door Locke for the reason if someone break in, it gives me extra seconds to a minute to grab my pistol.
Lesson learned: Shoot to kill, don’t shoot to wound. The intruder is in your home, armed. If there’s a survivor it’s one persons words over yours. Maake the odds in your favor – be the sole witness.
Argeed !
