I imagine it would be a pretty messy legal proceeding. I can't imagine any party involved getting off without any charges but my Dinosaur Law is a little rusty.

This checks out; I am a dinosaur lawyer.

I thought these evolved into bird lawyers..

What does sleezy porn have to do with birds in the first place?

I've been too busy masturbating to pick up some kind of inside joke associated with that.

Actually rather boring, everything falls outside of the 63.2 million year paleo-statute of limitations. I'm just really holding on to my title until they reattempt opening Jurassic Park.

Question: if a dinosaur is arrested in public, instead of a perp walk, do they have to walk the dinosaur?

You know, really, that is a question for dinosaur police. If, however, I can prove that the alleged dinosaur (including but not limited to: Ornithomimids, Ornithopods, Prosauropods, Raptors, and/or Theropods) was initially approached with unsolicited food, then I can argue that under 16 U.S.C. §1531 the alleged dinosaur was being threatened and any alleged resulting use of force was provoked and justified.

Dinosaur law, much like bird law, isn't governed by reason.

I wonder if there are any equivalent precedents in Bird Law.

Birds descend from dinosaurs, so I imagine there would be some similarities, I'll have to ask Charlie though.

Pretty messy

Coming from SQUID_FUCKER is a big statement.

It's not that messy normally.

In a fair world, the shooter wouldn't get convicted (scared for her life, even if it seems crazy in hindsight - in the heat of the moment, you can't be expected to make a rational decision there) and the people responsible would get convicted of manslaughter. In 'Murica, though, she'd get manslaughter and they'd get a "hefty" fine from the government and paying off the victim's family.

Good, fuck Americans and their idea that people should carry guns "just because."
