Eeehh, when you hear lawyers in the USA say that you better shoot to kill if your going to defend yourself from a home invasion robber, other wise case law will allow that robber to successfully sue you for personal injury and disability, I think something like that would actually work.
A guy in northwest Florida got his arm blown off in a mishap while stealing copper from a transformer. He successfully sued Gulf Power. The situation is analogous except for the fact that Mr. Bao's pockets are not as deep, and that's really the main thing a plaintiff's attorney is going to consider in a case like this.
