For the lulz

Was reading about unusual case names on Boing Boing and came across this gem:

$ 1,998,000,000 U.S. dollars to "hire and provide himself a military that he may enter. A Private Military."

o.O!!?

If nothing else, this must surely prove the poor guy was totally off his rocker. It did seem unfair to me that he got sent to jail at all (this is assuming he did!). Although I suppose they had to put him somewhere for his, and others, safety while they organised for him to get psychiatric care.

I'm sure he did have some kind of encounter with the police...I doubt he fabricated the thing out of whole cloth. But remember we haven't seen the police version of things, which the court hints is significantly different. The court in this case was ruling on whether the case should be summarily dismissed without going to trial at all, and for that purpose they have to assume that the plaintiff is right about all the disputed facts. Since they didn't reach the actual merits of the case, the police version wasn't relevant

Wow...

And is it bad of me that my first thought here was "Wow...he's flexible!"??:

Plaintiff continued to chant and pounded his head on the door and walls and on his own feet.

LOL, I was rather astonished at that part myself!
