There should be a law that says if you get injured while committing a crime, too freakin’ bad, that’s part of the price you pay. Further, if you try to rob someone and they shoot you, the person that shoots you should get a $1,000 reward and the guy that gets shot should be put in a cell with a 300 lb psycho. Lastly, if you try to sue anyone for any reason because you got hurt committing a crime, you should be punched in the face 100 times real hard and then shot again.

The owner of Nick’s Party Stop on Cass Avenue in Clinton Township and several people connected to his store are being sued by a man who was shot while robbing the store.

The lawsuit, filed by Scott Thomas Zielinski from his cell in a Michigan prison …

Zielinski is seeking in excess of $125,000 for injuries sustained when he was shot escaping from the owners of the store. They went after him because he held two of the employees at knifepoint and threatened to kill them, police said.

“He comes into my store wearing a mask and armed with a knife, threatens to kill my employees and steals cigarettes and $793 in cash,” said Acho. “And he is suing us because we ruined his life and he is going through pain and suffering.”

Zielinski, 22, was convicted of the November 2007 robbery. In a plea bargain, he was sentenced May 20, 2008, to eight to 22 years in prison for unarmed, instead of armed, robbery.

A year earlier, he was sentenced to one year, seven months in prison for the robbery of Charter One Bank in Warren on Feb. 17, 2006.

“His attorney should go to jail for the accusations he made,” Acho said.

I agree with the last statement that the attorney should go to jail, and he should be punched in the face too.

Here are the court records

Case number: 2006-000942-FC (Bank Robbery w/ weapon)

Case number: 2007-005572-FC (Armed Robbery & Assault with Dangerous Weapon)

Case number: 2009-001738-NO (where he is suing people from the store that he tried to rob)

Next thing you know, he’ll kill someone and hurt his hand doing it, and then sue the next of kin of the murder victim.

Scott Thomas Zielinski definitely wins Jackass of the Month for September 2009 and his lawyer is runner up.
