Proportional response miscalculation

Today, I got served. I'm being sued by a porch pirate, whom my brother claims to have taken care of, to never steal from me ever again. What did he do? He caught her in the act and stopped her, by loading and pointing a shotgun on her face. Oh? The package in question, a kiddie eraser set priced roughly $10. FML

If you didn’t point the shotgun, you are not at fault.

She can sue but she won't win. Counter-sue for your attorney costs.

Mildly amusing, but sounds fake. First she can't sue you for something your brother did. Second, I don't see what the basis for a lawsuit would be as a trespasser and a thief. If he had shot her, yes. If she had had a heart attack, I guess, but threatening a thief doesn't sound like basis for a lawsuit. NAL
