Lawsuit of the Day: When Robots Attack!

I know that I am not alone in having a fear of robots. Trust me now or believe me later, but when we are all slaves to the terminators we create, I’ll be the old guy hiding out on a secluded farm future heroes will seek out.
Given my (some would call it “irrational”) wisdom, I am all for using the courts to prevent the future subjugation of the human race. So I’m pretty happy with this lawsuit I read about on Mass Lawyers Weekly. Here is the full complaint:

Statement of the Issues Presented
The main issue presented. We as people have a serious issue in the Commonwealth and United States. Involved with crimes of spray chemicals dust and using powerful chemicals liquid form or chemical gases. To seriously inure citizen of America. Plus most serious crime America has ever had to face. Use of Mini Robots and other acts with robots. To climb in American Bodies and Poison, Operate on there property “THEIR BODY”. Or to use these robots to climb in tree or in vent of our public building to spray chemicals on Americans to seriously injure Americans.

Oh, you don’t think this kind of thing happens? Open your eyes! Robots are venting on you right now!
The appellant, pro se litigant Jay Mellen, is suing the former Massachusetts Attorney General Thomas Reilly. But it’s a shame that Mellen is going this alone. I’m sure Sam Waterston would have been willing to take his case:
