Just goes to show, if you've gotta defend yourself, don't shoot to wound! A double tap is better. If they're dead, they cant argue. I was taken to court by the mother of a kid who tried to mug me whilst living in Blacktown. The original charge was assualt 'cos she reckoned that I walked up to her son and his mate and punched him in the throat for no reason. It was irrevalant that I had my arms full of library books and he was carrying a "survival" (read Rambo) knife that he and his mate had stolen from the disposal store about 30 minutes before. The charge was amended to using excess force to defend myself. The magistrate dismissed it after the 4th witness told the court what they saw, but he still warned me about the possibility of doing time if anyone does use "excessive force". TTFN. Bob. ... I like kids, but I couldn't eat a whole one. --- PPoint 1.92* Origin: Avoid the rush - mutate NOW! (3:711/934.30) SEEN-BY: 711/934 @PATH: 711/934 |
