Why bother sue him? I don't think it is necessary. Here are the reasons:

1) If we sue him and we win, Shannon will be fined or sentenced. However, if he  
is fined, he already has not have money to pay the fine. So I think he will end  
up going to jail. I don't think sending him to jail is a good idea. This is  
simply because Shannon suffered more outside jail than inside. By sending him  
to jail means giving him chance to live peacefully. From humanitarian view, we  
should let people live as well as possible. However, I doubt Shannon has any  
human thing in his mind. So why bother save him?

2) If we sue him and he is taken away from us, we will lose our "Bozo" in this  
very net. I think nobody would like to lose their chance of entertainment.

3) In fact, I think if we sue him, we will lose. He will not be charged.  
Instead, he will be released and transfered into a mental hospital like the guy  
(Mr. Hinkley?) who shot President Reagan. Then it's the waste of the States'  
money to provided food and shelter for him while his family can still solve  
this problem themselves. If a mentally ill person is not violent, I don't think  
we need to send him to mental hospital. Just let him go.
