   Right about that last part

   IF it goes past the filing anyways. You can file for a lawsuit against bananas, but that's like applying for a loan. You can still get turned down.
   
   Unlike a loan, this tends to have worse consequences though what else they can do to him is unclear to me.

   Silly as it seems, especially to non-American countries, this kind of story gives me a spat of pride for our justice system which, despite inequities in some areas, is one of the most just in the history of the world. Even prisoners are allowed access to the court's time.

   Best argument for .....

   ....sentences "at hard labor". Give them plenty of real work to do so they have neither the time or energy for this kind of garbage.

   Historical perspective

   erik L and the AC obviously have a much clearer idea of the flaws (numerous and profound as they are) of our legal system than they do of what has constituted "justice" throughout human history.
   
   I know you're trying to be cynical, guys, but you're coming off naive.

    If only there were some way for him to avoid playing Grand Theft Auto in prison. The poor guy. I really feel for him!

    For a minute, I expected to read that he was suing because he thought the game used his likeness without his permission.
    
    Take Two's rebuttal: "hey, we just did what the cops do and relied on racial profiles."
