Tiresome or just you made yourself look like an ass?
I wonder.
You cannot be serious. If someone kicked my ass I'd kick their ass right back, no police would be called, no papers would be filed and that would be the end of it.
Only pussies don't think justice = blood.
Nope, I don't think I made an ass of myself. Of course people are gonna disagree with me but that's a different thing - I don't think I argued my point badly. By the way here's the quote I was referring to from you earlier in this thread - sounds like a bit more than self-defence to me;
Uh yeah so I said if someone kicked my ass I'd kick it back. Why would someone be calling the police (i..e the other guy) when they started it, and why would I when I'd proved my point?
Can you understand the words coming out of my mouth?
Shit on a street where I grew up on the police actually advised DJB to sort the problem out himself because 'we can't prove anything'.
I think we are missing the fact that violence shouldn't be happening between kids, even inside school doors, for the reason of simply being unchangeably different than another. It shouldn't be a question if you use self defense or not. It shouldn't even get that far to have to make that choice.
You are excusing the use of violence and blaming the victim for not fighting back because someone has performed physical harm to someone who has a trait that is immutable. This is akin to lynching and should not be tolerated at any level by any one. Certainly not excused by school teachers or in the case of the male cheerleader with the broken arm, his own mother.
But sorting out the problem is not an invitation for retaliation with violence like you and others suggest.
You heathen
I try to avoid trouble in the first place, why do all your friends seem to have legal problems? Me thinks your hanging with the wrong element in the first place. Besides, phoenix is correct, cops and courts are the appropriate way to handle a problem in a civilized society. The ghetto culture is to tear shit down to get 'even'... And that's why trash stays trash.
lol maybe it's just your use of English then - "kicking ass" and wanting "blood as justice" seem to imply something a bit stronger than protecting yourself to me.
Once you find a way to make every kid mature enough to act like an adult, you will get this. But, this will never happen because they are kids.
Okay case 1:
My ex boyfriend walks past a pub at 9pm where there is a gang of young males outside. They beat the crap out of him and his two friends (one of which is female). This is reported and statements made. One hour after this call is made the gang of youths go inside this pub and shoot people, but the police haven't even arrived by now. My ex's eye has permanent damage from a punch to it in this assault. Did anything happen with regard to convictions? No.
Case 2:
A co-workers husband is at home with her and their 2yr old daughter. Three men (his ex wifes brother + 2 friends) come to his door and beat the crap out of him. It's his word against theirs and the police try and convict HIM of it because the three guys all say that they came to his door innocently and he reacted violently (despite him being beaten up and them having not a bruise on them and his wife's phone call to the police as the assault is happening etc). Nothing happens to the three blokes.
Tell me how the police help, I'd love to hear it.
Like I said, perhaps police in other areas are fanastic, but in my city, with my life experience calling the police causes more problems than it solves.
checking out of thread. dbzeag, you're on crack, buddy <3
