But, it removes unlawful from Rosenbaums’ act.
My point is that the law is ambiguous. Though not as absurd as the wording of SYG laws, It’s still completely ambiguous. Of course if you stay within the rigid legal terms of art you can wend your way through it but it is sentential nonsense. The law requires the attacker to be committing an unlawful act. The case of insanity excuses the attacker. Perhaps his body then becomes a machine without a driver.
BTW - what unlawful act was Rosenbaum committing? Littering?
