We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I'll go further: using violence in self-defense against an aggressor, regardless of the identity of the aggressor, is a HUMAN right.
As long as you do not cross the line of "fighting words" or overt offer of violence, yes you are golden. And I again thank the high school kid at the back window of the school bus whose giving the finger to the cop behind the bus established that the right exists.
That incident was so long ago that I find it difficult to believe any cop would not know it was clearly established law. And as such that qualified immunity does not even circle as it goes down the drain.
stay safe.
Would suggesting that you try harder to stay on topic be regarded as aggressive? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies
