I never noticed it.
I’ve jokingly speculated that the show is called “House” because the bill the patient gets for all those medical miracles results in losing their house.
Joe Frady in The Parallax View didn’t face any legal consequences for crashing a stolen car into a supermarket.
Burns’ competence was somewhat variable - sometimes he’s a decent surgeon who just doesn’t care as much as more dedicated doctors do, and sometimes he’s barely able to tie his shoes. A common dig against all surgeons is that they care a lot more about technical capabilities than about patients as people (“The operation was a success, but the patient died”); Burns, apparently not caring all that much about technical capabilities beyond the bare minimum would seem bizarrely incompetent to a stereotypical surgeon. (/MASH nitpicking complete).
Prescription fraud, assault, reckless endangerment, and habitual conspiracy to commit breaking and entering
Didn’t Gene Roddenberry outright say that it was?
And at the very least, Mr. Burns is going down for a ton of OSHA violations at the power plant… ok, he’d probably throw Smithers under the bus.
True, but iirc they maintained a minimum of plausible deniability (“who, us?”); and as the plaintiff in the case was the proprietor of an infamously shady roadhouse thought to have broken and skirted any number of laws, Porky didn’t have many friends in the legal system. That’s more or less shown when the chase comes to a grinding halt at the county line and the sheriff basically tells Porky “tough s***”.
I’ve always had the fan theory that the reason why Homer is safety inspector despite not having a college degree is because he was always supposed to be the fall guy. Anyone competent would have reported the horrible conditions at the planet ages ago, but not only is Homer blissfully unaware he’s also perfectly set in place to be the guy who Burns can blame for anything going wrong.
Also Homer literally assaulted the Japanese Emperor iirc in one episode that seems like a death penalty offense.
Porky had lots of friends in the legal system—in his own county. The teens lived in another county. That was one of the weirder scenes in the movie: the corrupt sheriff of one county versus the slightly-less-corrupt sheriff of another county.
Burns explicitly puts Homer in the patsy position in at least one episode (C.E. D'oh | Simpsons Wiki | Fandom)
And he mentioned the parents first off.
The Duke boys weren’t allowed to carry guns because they were on probation. But they always had easy access to bows and dynamite arrows.
Right, but Burns is an antagonist in that show, so he’s expected to be naughty.
Also, it allows Burns to check off the “safety inspector on the job” box without any pesky requirements to meet actual safety standards.
There’s a couple of Harold Lloyd movies in which he races across the city using any wheeled conveyance he can get his hands on, plus horses. Stealing a trolley, and then abandoning it to crash who knows where was one of his worst.
actually a license to kill usually says something like “as an agent of the state you have the right to defend yourself from any real or implied threat using whatever means at your disposal while carrying out said duties”
Although I’m told in real life there’s an unwritten agreement between most nations’ intelligence agencies that they don’t kill each other because they don’t want a secret assassination war to break out
Whoops! That’ll teach me not to read properly.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character, John Matrix, in Commando.
He burglarizes an Army surplus store, stealing numerous automatic weapons, grenades, claymores and a rocket launcher, escapes police custody with the help of said-rocket launcher after he gets caught, and then steals an airplane to reach Arius’ lair. He also dropped a guy off a cliff after promising to kill him last.
He lied. 
But that is a very good one.
This talk of Porky’s disturbs me. I don’t remember anything about the roadhouse being destroyed or the police chase.
Of course, i hated that movie, and got drug to it by my so-called fiends, and then the theater was so crowded I had to sit by myself, so I had no one to grumble to. Yeah, that part I remember. And Mike Hunt.
This is, of course, the premise which kicks off the first Incredibles movie.
Right.
Any Superhero that could would decoy the Villain into open ground, not a city. But it is very cinematic to throw a super bad guy thru a skyscraper or two. However, of course the bad guys dont attack cornfields… usually.
This is why, when In the MCU film, Civil War, when they were castigating the Avengers for damage done, such as in when Loki invaded NYC- why didn’t the Avengers defend themselves? I mean sure NYC took quite a lot of damage from the Avengers, but it would have been leveled, and everyone dead without the Avengers. Even when Wanda moves the bomb in Lagos- if it had gone off where it was planted, the damage and death toll would have been worse.
When the Fire Dept destroys doors and walls to save victims, no one bitches about that.
