Self Defense

[dilloduck]

I'm aware that laws differ from state to state but what do you think is legitimate self defense ?
Let's say you are at a lake fishing and someone comes up and attacks you ? You're not in a position to worry about legal technicalities here. The person is beating the crap out of you. Is using force against your attacker a legitimate option ? If so, How much force are you allowed to use and are you allowed to use a weapon to defend yourself? How much injury do you have to suffer before you can resort to using a knife to defend yourself. A gun ? A big stick ?

Let's say you kill your attacker while defending yourself. There are no ear nor eyewitnesses. Do you go to prison because you are unable to prove you were not the aggressor ?

Going to prison because you manage to save your own life sorta sucks doesn't it ?

Hey, I'd push the attacker in the lake. If he can't swim, that wouldn't be my problem.

I cant partake in this argument. I'd get off on self defense every time.

What if you are fishing and someone is following you? What do you do? Honestly.

If they are close enough I will always greet them with a wave or a hello. Get a feel for the situation.

Zimmerman was NOT doing the equivalent of innocently fishing at a lake.

Right. That's what Martin tried to do and he was killed. And now his killer has been exonerated.

What this whole thing has taught me is that if someone messes with you, you need to kill them and kill them quickly. Just like my karate instructor once told me to do. And then you get the hell out of there.

Happens all the time. It's called "Pot Licking".

Get out of the situation or, if that's not possible, call 911.

I highly recommend whatever it was they used on Hoffa cuz if they find the bod, your ass is going to prison. Why ? Because you commited the crime of improperly saving your own life.

I'm being facetious because I can't argue this point. I'm a 118 pound girl. I'm hyper aware of my surroundings, I look everyone in the eye that's in my vicinity. I'm a terrible victim target on purpose. If I ever was in a situation where I had to defend myself, I'd shoot them, hit them with a rock or run and be gone before they ever touched me. It would never happen that I would be questioned about was it self defense. Maybe it's a gender thing. You guys are always getting a bad rap for self defense.
