ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) -- A man is suing an auto-parts store for assault and battery after he attempted to hold up the business and employees responded by beating him with a metal pipe.
Dana Buckman, 46, walked into an auto shop brandishing a semiautomatic pistol last summer, only to have it turned on him by two AutoZone employees, police said. The men beat Buckman with a metal pipe and held him with his own gun.
Buckman escaped and was arrested a week later. He pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery and was sentenced to 18 years in prison as a repeat violent felon.
Buckman claims the men chased him out of the store and continued to beat him. He is suing the auto shop and the men for the injuries he suffered and for emotional distress.
"In some respects, you wonder if a case like this even needs a defense. It speaks for itself," said lawyer Patrick B. Naylon, who represents AutoZone and the employees.
But lawyer Phillip R. Hurwitz, who represents Buckman, said the employees crossed the line by pursuing Buckman and attacking him.
"The danger was past," Hurwitz said. "These two employees took it upon themselves to go after Mr. Buckman after he left the store."
Wisconsin has an un-written, but ALWAYS enforced by the court, retreat requirement as well.

Yup, sound like another scumbag lawyer opportunist lawuit. Let's give our support to the convicted felon, instead of hardworking people adding benefit to society. Man, I thought the Brady Bill would keep handguns out of the hands of convicted felons.

They ought to turn that pipe on the lawyer...
FWIW, the legal system is equivelant to organized crime. THEY(Lawyers) write the Laws in Congress(mandating the opportunity for excess & abuse)....THEY decide who can/can't practice said Law, even tho you CAN represent yourself in court(a foolish move)...THEY determine quilt based on what the Law says(which is not always compatible with honesty & fairness). Lets' face it... we're a country where Laws are the 2nd most important factor in our exsistence..... money being the 1st...but those two run hand-in-hand in the final analysis.....
