• 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.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Regardless of the local laws, the idea of being prosecuted under those conditions is pretty staggering. Imagine if he had actually put down his attackers under that system...he would have spent his remaining days in prison. I've read of cases where people defending themselves against burglary are charged but having your house fire-bombed seems to leave little ambiguity in intention.

“People need to know that this is what can happen to you and which side of the victim line do you want to stand on? Lying down dead or in court? That’s the way it seems it has to go.”

That's pretty much the way it is in Kalifornia too. And on top of criminal charges it's a safe bet that the thug(s) you defend yourself from, or his family, will sue you and win.
