Are you really saying the only way you could deal with this was to get in a fist fight? How would you have dealt with it if this guy was not such an easy guy to beat up? I realize I don't have the frontline combat experience of you and some of the other right-wingers here, so perhaps I should've waited for the guy to really beat the crap out of that woman. I was not intending to trade punches with the fellow. I simply walked over to where they were and asked him to stop. He responded by taking a swing at me and he missed. My reflexes took over and I hit him as hard as i could. End of fight. I don't know whether he was easy to beat up or not... I landed a Lucky punch. My point and the same thing I said about Zimmerman is you should have never got close enough to him to allow him to take a swing at you. It is basic self defense 101. If you were going to try to talk this guy down, you can do it from 10 feet away, 20 is better. If your intent was to get in a fight from the beginning, then you should just go hit the guy. In the end you are not on much firmer ground is you just provoked the fight Perhaps you would've stood your ground and shot him. You seem trigger-happy. All I ever said about this is you could have been shot, other than to point out that if your "lucky punch" turned out to be fatal, you have as good a chance of going to jail as if you shot him. I know a guy who did 7 years in Maryland for a "lucky punch" in what most people would say was a more justifiable situation (attempting to remove an unwelcome person from his home) I hope you get better soon. Your depth of knowledge is beyond amazing Greg. Now you are an expert on the proper manner in which to come to the aid of a woman and child being physically abused by a guy. "Excuse me sir, (from 20 feet away) not to interrupt, but would you mind refraining from slapping them around? I have an iPhone here and I know how to use it." I have been involved with these things more times than I like to think about and I know a lot of cops. Women tend to stand by their man, no matter what a weasel he is. As for the self defense issue. I have taken the course several times and they all emphasize, distance is your friend. If you do not want to end up in a fist fight or a scramble on the ground, keep some distance. If you want to fight, just give them your best shot right away and be prepared to face the consequences. Just don't be surprised if the woman you "rescued" testifies against you. She is still going to go home and sleep with the weasel about 90% of the time. (just look at all of those football players and the women they beat the **** out of) This "Don Quixote" stuff is great in the movies but don't count on Dulcinea taking your side when it is all over. Yup. We've become a nation governed by political correctness and self concerns. Let the ones being battered fend for themselves.

Yup. We've become a nation governed by political correctness and self concerns. Let the ones being battered fend for themselves. Two of my cousins were cops. They hated domestic violence calls, as part of the time the assaulted one, would turn on the cops. One of their coworkers was killed responding to a domestic violence case. And these days, people like Harry go to jail for assault, as the wife refuses to testify. And may even be likely someone who likes to beat up the girlfriend, is armed. Call the cops and start filming. Only intervene if they are being killed. Maybe I am a wimp but I will be a live wimp and not in jail. |

Yup. We've become a nation governed by political correctness and self concerns. Let the ones being battered fend for themselves. No leave it to the police. Being a vigilante is not legal or wise these days. Ask Zimmerman. Blame it on the lawyers. Problem is the police are not always available at the moment of the assault. If I came upon an altercation with two seemingly equal opponents I'd likely mind my own business. But, as in the situation Harry came upon, it involves a guy beating up on a woman and/or child, or someone beating up on a defenseless elderly person, I'd would do my best to intervene. How about a situation when someone is being assaulted and crying out "Help"? |

How about a situation when someone is being assaulted and crying out "Help"? I would certainly take time to assess the situation unless it was a situation where the "use of force:" was clearly present. (imminent threat of grave bodily harm) If that is true, I would have the cops coming before I did anything. I am still going to be trying to talk this guy down, outside of "swing" distance. If this guy keeps pounding on his wife/GF while I am taking cell phone pictures and hollering at him to stop, I would feel better about trying to hurt him. If there was any question at all, Zimmerman cleared it up. The use of force is a high hurdle to leap. You never know when you jump in, where this is going to go. I am too damned old to just trade blows with someone like I did when I was young. I am going for a "stopper" and those can cause permanent injuries or death. It is the intent. When you watch your best friend go to prison for a fist fight gone bad, you become a lot more cautious. I trained with him. Harry is damned lucky the guy he knocked down, was not seriously hurt. If he calls a lawyer, his sweety is just as likely to be saying Harry was the aggressor as not, particularly if they have made up already. Promises of a big payday can make a troubled relationship stronger. Like I said, blame it on the lawyers. Yup, it's all about what you can prove. I know a mx kid who caught a guy stealing his mountain bike. He chased the thief down and really kicked the guys ass.. lot's of tissue and blood all over his work boots, and he posted a picture... I told the kid to take the pic right down cause although he might not be able to prove the guy tried to steal his bike, the guy could sure prove our friend kicked his ass good. All the guy has to do is say "I was walking by and the guy came out and kicked my ass"... and our bud would be ****ed... |

Are you really saying the only way you could deal with this was to get in a fist fight? How would you have dealt with it if this guy was not such an easy guy to beat up? I realize I don't have the frontline combat experience of you and some of the other right-wingers here, so perhaps I should've waited for the guy to really beat the crap out of that woman. I was not intending to trade punches with the fellow. I simply walked over to where they were and asked him to stop. He responded by taking a swing at me and he missed. My reflexes took over and I hit him as hard as i could. End of fight. I don't know whether he was easy to beat up or not... I landed a Lucky punch. My point and the same thing I said about Zimmerman is you should have never got close enough to him to allow him to take a swing at you. It is basic self defense 101. If you were going to try to talk this guy down, you can do it from 10 feet away, 20 is better. If your intent was to get in a fight from the beginning, then you should just go hit the guy. In the end you are not on much firmer ground is you just provoked the fight Perhaps you would've stood your ground and shot him. You seem trigger-happy. All I ever said about this is you could have been shot, other than to point out that if your "lucky punch" turned out to be fatal, you have as good a chance of going to jail as if you shot him. I know a guy who did 7 years in Maryland for a "lucky punch" in what most people would say was a more justifiable situation (attempting to remove an unwelcome person from his home) I hope you get better soon. Your depth of knowledge is beyond amazing Greg. Now you are an expert on the proper manner in which to come to the aid of a woman and child being physically abused by a guy. "Excuse me sir, (from 20 feet away) not to interrupt, but would you mind refraining from slapping them around? I have an iPhone here and I know how to use it." I have been involved with these things more times than I like to think about and I know a lot of cops. Women tend to stand by their man, no matter what a weasel he is. As for the self defense issue. I have taken the course several times and they all emphasize, distance is your friend. If you do not want to end up in a fist fight or a scramble on the ground, keep some distance. If you want to fight, just give them your best shot right away and be prepared to face the consequences. Just don't be surprised if the woman you "rescued" testifies against you. She is still going to go home and sleep with the weasel about 90% of the time. (just look at all of those football players and the women they beat the **** out of) This "Don Quixote" stuff is great in the movies but don't count on Dulcinea taking your side when it is all over. Yup. We've become a nation governed by political correctness and self concerns. Let the ones being battered fend for themselves. No leave it to the police. Being a vigilante is not legal or wise these days. Ask Zimmerman. Blame it on the lawyers. Wow. A right wing libertarian who says leave it to the police. I can envision you and your gun nutzi 2A buddies here standing on the sidewalk with your hands in your pockets watching some thug beat up a woman or a child. Brave men, all of you. You seem to be the gun nutz here! Bragging about all the guns you buy and sell, and build. A gun nutzi is someone who puts the 2A ahead of common sense. Nope! |
