[QUOTE="Jackson Ellis, post: 1008126, member: 70795"] I think it's funny how people want to dress up like thugs, get gangsta tats, and act out a thug-life, until they're hurt and then it's "why are you judging/profiling/treating me like a thug? I haven't watched the video at all, so I can't comment on who was right/wrong in this particular case; but every situation is different. I wouldn't do anything to instigate trouble with a gang that big, but if pushed to self-defense (myself or especially my family), then every tool in the truck becomes a weapon; and that includes the truck and any actual weapons on board. I wouldn't treat them all like bowling pins; that sounds like an act of anger, but I'd definitely get my family to safety, whatever it takes. Hopefully, all of that can be avoided, but if not, it hopefully can be done without hurting someone unnecessarily. Panic can easily trump rash thinking..., and shouldn't be punished like an act of anger or aggression. It's interesting though, at least in SC, you can't use the "self defense" plea if you instigate the confrontation. My concealed weapons instructor put it like this, if you decide to go toe-to-toe with someone, and then the fight gets dirty and you have to use deadly force. Then there's a chance you'll pay for it with a long prison term. [/QUOTE]
