****, BD, you're a fishwife! What the hell is your complaint? If you're not interested, why don't you **** off back to the pointless political behemoth?
Thanks for the thread Becca. I think the relevant points to anyone interested in SD and MA are:
1) The third guy came in from the back (not directly threatened himself - which means it could be argued to be not technically
self-defence) yet still got judged 'defence'.
2) He used a potentially lethal hold (esp if he
wasn't an MA) without trying anything else. Of course that was the right thing to do against someone with a knife, but for the courts to recognise that may be a step in the right direction.
3) This is not an 'instant' tech, like shooting him in the head would have been; it takes a few seconds to get on, which again has implications for the legal aspects.
You sure about that?
