If my kid was in this situation I would expect him to take whatever steps necessary to assure he came home of his own accord and in one piece.Faustus said:I've been thrashed before.

Do you think getting hit in the head with a skate board a second or third time is conducive to good health and a long life?Faustus said:Got real for all concerned.aTm2004 said:Life got real for sk8ter boi.aggiehawg said:
Kid shot someone to death wielding a skate board.
None of that was conducive to my health. But I've never wished that I had been armed so that I could legally kill my assailant. Nor would I wish to shoot someone trying to brain me with a skateboard.
That's clearly not what happened here, as the kid was justifiably fearful for his life. However this quote is a problem that's infecting society. Or maybe not. I've seen the site swing both ways on when it's appropriate to shoot someone before suffering an altercation, so I suspect it's more political. I doubt you'd have your kid shoot someone who hit him with a skateboard. Again this is just in reference to the quoted response and not our situation at bar.
I agree whole heartedly. Brought my boys up to treat folks twice as nice as the person is treating them.
But is a thug inserts themself into your orbit, and you didn't do anything to warrant their anger.......then you have a choice. Are you going to kill or be a victim?
We do not have a victim mentality. If a mob attacks us while driving. We will do what we can not to hurt folks with the car......but a flash of a gun or glass breaking....there will be human speed bumps.
You catch us out in the open and mob us. People will die. I will not be beaten to a pulp with a skateboard or a group of thugs with making the day an equally bad day for the other.
The recommendation is to stay away from my family and I. If you insert yourself and threaten my family. If you allow me to warn you I will but if you don't, do not be shocked if I kill you.
