"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Not familiar with Heinlein's solution....but Shakespeare is a good starting point...


If it's the one I'm thinking about, the Heinlein approach involves a literal application of "make the punishment fit the crime."

Run over someone's leg, causing them to lose the limb?  Punishment = run over leg and amputate.

Not sure if that comes from Number of the Beast.

This wouldn't take THAT big of a leap. A simple law (possibly federal), stating that you can not sue someone for injuries you sustain while committing a crime...

It would be easy to get around that; let's say Li'l Darlin' is robbing a liquor store and is shot by the clerk and killed.  Dear Mother sues the store for wrongful death -- Darlin' was never even charged, much less convicted of a crime, he just stopped for a bag of ice on his home from choir practice.  ;/

Bob: in theory, there would be witnesses or vid of the occurance, that would nullify any such claim

Sorry, I was conflating "convicted" and "committed".

ETA: I am disappoint that nobody called my example racist.

Does that solution involve 'accidents' involving air locks or pressure suits?

I was thinking of a (Friday? Stranger In A Strange Land?) story in which a character was delayed for a meeting when one person shot another for cutting in line.  The delay came from an on-the-spot citizens' court in which the shooter was found justified and everyone, except the line jumper, left satisfied. (Who knows?  The line jumper may well have been satisfied, too. ;))

Peter Piper pizza in either El Paso, TX,  or Las Cruces, NM  holds a special place in my heart.

Peter Piper in any other part of TX tastes like recycled diaper.
