Lmaooo “they escape...from prison. They cant escape from,, a 10 year old with paint cans on a string, but they escaped from prison”

I love how Justin either remembered this same discussion years later for Sawbones OR came to the same line of thought independently

[@winkie3331]

the best thing about justin is it could literally be either one

"it's the difference between stabbing a home invader, and running a burglar out of your house, chasing them into the street, then stabbing them"

[@theohaegele9011]

Katko v. Briney, 1971: The Court ruled that using deadly force, in the form of an unmanned spring gun, on intruders in an unoccupied property was not reasonable or justified. Briney would have been justified in defending himself with the shotgun if he had been home during the intrusion. The plaintiff's status as a trespasser is irrelevant when assessing liability in this case. The case stands for the proposition that, although a landowner has no duty to make his property safe for trespassers, he may not set deadly traps against them, holding that "the law has always placed a higher value upon human safety than upon mere rights in property." The court thus ruled for Katko, entering judgment for $20,000 in actual damages and $10,000 in punitive damages

But Kevin was in the house when the traps went off and most of them weren't automated. He could easily make the argument that he wasn't setting traps to protect property, he was doing it to protect himself. Especially since the bandits demonstrated intent to kill.

[@thomascampbell350]

@@ashsweet the argument still stands for the second movie it was not his property thus he had no right to defend it

[@AceAttorny]

ok but what if it was a paintcan on a string swung comically down the stairs at some bandits' testicles

[@AceAttorny]

@@ashsweet Objection, your honour, I believe it was only AFTER Kevin had already utilized MULTIPLE forms of potentially deadly force that Marv and/or the other one say "I'm gonna kill that kid!" Therefore it could be said the Wet and/or Sticky Bandits were under the impression they were trapped in some kind of sick "us or him" game of deadly cat and mouse.

[@ashsweet]

@@AceAttorny Something tells me the ol' "But he staaaaaarted it" defense isnt going to work in court when the bandits had no reason to be in the house and could have tried to leave at any time. Kevin may be a tiny sociopath but he did have every reason to believe they were trying to kill him from the start.❤

[@connorlynch3474]

Am I misremembering, or is this the second, independent time that the McElroys have invented, and gotten excited about, the prospect of a home alone team up, many episodes apart?

[@marveltard]

wasnt the other time something to do with tue president?

[@noisepuppet]

I like the trap in Home Alone where the hydrofluoric acid eats through the bathtub and the floor and it comes crashing through the ceiling full of dissolved corpse juice

[@kennedyburrell6404]

I've watched one episode of breaking bad, and I think I get the reference

[@JohnDoe-mj6cc]

Wow, can't believe noisepuppet watches mmmbimbam

Having never seen home alone, this is a wild ride.

“The People vs Kevin McAllister” has the same number of syllables as “The People vs Horton the Elephant”, and I find this very satisfying.

[@zacharywood9416]

Ahhh, elecatricity!

[@minanathans6005]

Look man, the Wet Bandits went into KEVIN'S territory. They did not have to do that. Once they did, they declared their safety forfeit. Whatever happens to em, happens.

Home Alone 3 is the last 45 minutes of Skyfall

Elderly interventions in the home alone movies are the modern interpretation of the Deus Ex Machina of ancient Greek theatre

[@The_Motley_Fool]

Y'all ever notice how the bird lady from Home Alone 2 looks almost exactly like Stephen Fry?

[@fisherjam5182]

Well thats my next fanfiction

[@joegrimes9232]

I would say more of a James May (Edit) looking at a picture to refresh my memory - Stephen Fry is spot on, but there is also shades of Randy Quaid

If I remember, from reading the novelization 18 years ago, they escaped police custody while in the police car. Somehow.
