Cry-Baby #1 - John Thompson
(via)
The incident: A man named John Thompson (pictured above) sexually assaulted a seven-year-old girl.The appropriate response: Going to prison for a while. Seriously re-evaluating the way he acts around children.The actual response: John is planning on suing his seven-year-old victim.John was found guilty of the attack back in July, and handed an eight-month suspended sentence. A condition of his not-going-to-jail was that he take part in a treatment course, to teach him how to not have sex with children. According to his probation worker, he failed to turn up to some meetings, and was "uncooperative and hostile" at others. As a result of this, he was called back to court.Seemingly annoyed that he is having to go to court AGAIN, he has announced that he plans to sue the girl, claiming that he only admitted he was guilty during the initial trial after accepting bad legal advice and that the little girl TOTALLY came on to him anyways. From The Daily Mail:"he insisted he was unable to fight off the young girl, claiming that she ‘flirted’ with him, pinned him to a bed and forced her tongue into his mouth"Ah OK, totes not his fault! Also, that must have been one strong horny-seven-year-old. Jeez.Cry-Baby #2 - Samuel Cutrufelli

The incident: A man broke into a house and was shot by the homeowner.The appropriate response: Not fucking breaking into people's houses any more.The actual response: The man who broke into the house is suing the homeowner that shot him.Samuel Cutrufelli (pictured above, inset) broke into the house of 91-year-old World War II veteran Jay Leone (the other guy pictured above). He threatened him with a gun, and tied him up while he searched the house for valuables. At some point, Jay asked if he could use the bathroom. Which is when he went to fetch his gun, a .357 revolver.When Samuel noticed that Jay had a gun, he fired a shot at his head, hitting him in the cheek. This is how Jay describes what happened next:"I looked him straight in the eye. He says, 'Don't kill me. Don't kill me… I've got a daughter!' I said, 'Fuck you … pow, pow, pow, pow!'"Samuel was hit by three of the shots, but was still able to wrestle Jay's gun out of his hands. He then tried to shoot Jay using his own weapon, but the gun was out of bullets.Obviously, when you break into someone's house, and then shoot them in the head, being shot back at seems like something you would reasonably expect to happen. But Samuel claims that his life has been like, TOTALLY RUINED by all of this. Having to pay for medical treatment caused him financial ruin and the loss of his home and, because he's now in jail facing charges of attempted murder, his wife left him! Poor guy. So now he is suing, claiming that he was shot "negligently". Fair 'nuff!Who is the bigger cry-baby? Please help us decide in the poll below. Maybe one day we'll get around to making some trophies and handing them out to all the winners or something.Who is the bigger cry-baby?Previously: Yoga haters vs. Denim-loving workout ladyWinner: The yoga haters!!Follow Jamie on Twitter: @JLCT
