In a CSI episode, a guy filled his letter box with cement because his letter box was getting destroyed every night. He had 4 destroyed, had enough and decided to fill the next one with cement. What happened was two guys drove past with a bat, the guy swung to hit the letter box but because it went wrong they crashed and died. The owner buried the letter box, replaced it but of course the CSI team figured it out...and he was arrested. What was the crime he committed? I mean, he had to pay for the replacements so why is he being punished for trying to protect his property? He didn't mean the boys any harm, he was just trying to save his letterbox...
well let me play with this...csi is always interesting! but i believe once you put the mail box in the ground, does it not belong to the usps. so in today's law filled world i suppose that was the first mistake, the next is taking the law into his own hands, let's face it, what he did with the box in effect caused the deaths. again, we all know the law enforcement agencies don't want us to be judge and jury. then covering up what he did was probably the final kicker to all this. so it made for an interesting story line...too bad i missed that one, just some thoughts for you to think about!!!
Some CSI stories (like real life) don't make sense at all. At least they're not suing the cement maker. I wonder what would have happen if the boys had survived, and the letterbox man had actually caught them on video flinging their bats. That would be a happier ending for all.

The premise is, the cement mailbox was intended to cause harm to the guys with bats. His intent to cause harm to them, no matter how small, led to their death. Therefore, his actions ultimately led to their death, making it his fault. Its the real thing. Any action you take that is grossly negligent can land you in deep trouble, no matter what your true intentions were. Same premise, different scenario: How about a simple fight at school? You know, just a couple guys throwing a few punches. Well, one idiot catches a blow to the jaw and drops onto the ground, smashing his head and corner of something/anything. He dies from the head injury, that resulted from fall that resulted from the punch. The guy that simply punched him just ate a murder charge.
