It's going to be both hilarious and depressing to hear about the first guy with such an insurance plan who finds out that even after making annual payments for five years, he's still stuck relying upon whatever public defender the court sticks him with.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576119355320114962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309663644247115378.post-66016614988788128672012-06-15T11:07:36.896-07:002012-06-15T11:07:36.896-07:00I'd also add that the real victors in this kin...I'd also add that the real victors in this kind of scheme are the lawyers. <br /><br />The NRA encourages a gun culture, which encourages people to shoot other people. This, of course, leads to law suits and criminal prosecutions (good for lawyers). Then we add an insurance scam on top of it all to make sure the attorneys get paid.Agishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074828202399142807noreply@blogger.com
