The argument seems to be "It isn't prohibited" But without any basis for it in the law there is no legal grounds for it to be an actual thing. If it's not a prohibited activity (and if it wasn't to the death, it probably wouldn't be), it would actually be legally defensible as a form of arbitration as long as both sides agreed to it. It would be kind of stupid, but not as implausible as you're suggesting. That being said, courts generally can't impose arbitration terms where none previously existed, and certainly none as outlandish as this, so I'm amazed the judge didn't just quash the motion outright as soon as it was filed. Also, how did this story not manage to come from Florida? --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:932945272] in Man reques... [t:78329901]...</cite> <quote>BlackScythe0 posted... </cite> <quote>It's not.
