Who said anything about leaving? Just pointing out the hypocrisy of white Americans that want to keep others out of 'our' land. What's your point then other than making a blindingly brilliant statement of the obvious? If the illegal aliens take over the country and take my home, will I at least get to run a casino and sell firecrackers?

i can't wait to go home, mix a margerita and eat some yummy leftover grilled shrimp fajitas. my wife made the fajitas and I made the homemade guacamole. yum.

Um, the attack is over, right? GET OVER IT

no

Depends on what she looks like. Or in Trashie's case, "he"

I did a little google searching and apparently you can use deadly force if someone is in danger of being *maimed*. That's not like for like. Also, if there is a large discrepancy in force (like a 250 lb guy beating the crap out of an old lady), deadly force can be justified. but I ain't no lawyer (thank God).

Okay, so when I was in your situation and seeing a kid get stomped in the head, I remember also being very upset. It is troubling to see. Worse yet, the stomper was Tjayden, a skinhead who ruled the school in a reign of terror and was very hansome. My boyfriend at the time said we had to get out of there (it was at a party and we were doing some unsavory things, so we didn't want to be there when the cops came). I said no, we gotta get the guy. We argued about it a bit and then heard sirens. The skinhead troupe ran off, as did everyone else. I made my bf help me pick up the stompee and throw him in the back of the truck. His head was fucked up and swollen, and he'd been stabbed in the knee and was bleeding all over me. He was so disoriented he thought the blood was mine. I told my bf we'd bring him down the street to the Fire Dept and dump him off. And so we did. I never had to pull a gun on anyone. About a year later, by bf and I ran into the guy. He said thanks--and he looked good as new. And nobody got shot. Nobody forfeited their right to live (which, by the way, you don't get to decide b/c last time I checked, you weren't God). And nobody got shot. So get a grip already you Seattle pussy. If I thought the guy getting stomped was in actual danger of being maimed or killed, and I had a gone I'd shoot - but try to knock them off their feet, not kill.

Sounds like you did about as much as you could.

I assume you called the cops immediately (which I would have done). The other thing is to yell out your window and inform said attackers that you had called the cops. Afraid of a repraisal? Yell from somewhere ambiguous. I've done this before. I saw some teenage kids bullying a girl off the school bus that let off in front of my apartment building. They threatened to kick my ass, and I just yelled all the louder until they got scared and ran off.

I thought you saw these guys beat up your friend on the street, not find them in your living room.

Oh, I beg your pardon. Obviously I meant to say Anger Management Class.

FYI, they sometimes ban tent camping in the parks when the resident bears are out in force. Please stay off-topic. We are now discussing anaphylactic shock.

pretty please, stop stomping that guys head in. come on guys, be nice. can't we all just get along?

I don't do hardware.

Because the lawyers have made it this way.

Based on comments above and what I suspect is true, you'd have to convince a jury that your force was justified. If you can convince them that you believed the guy's life is in danger, based on the viciousness, severity and duration of the attack, and then whack them on the head with a baseball bat, and send them into a coma for life, then you will likely be OK. Unless there's a civil suit of course and your wages are garnished for life for the family in terms of "damages". :-P

I'd say no. you can certainly aim a gun at them, call the cops and hope they don't make any sudden movements. if they do, and you shoot, better hope they have a gun on them and aren't just reaching for their wallet.

do what you need to do and deal with the consequences later

now THIS is hilarious. if you don't see the irony in that! look at the log in your own eye, not the splinter in mine.

Remind me again, why I don't want the US to emulate this model.

Forget blaming your friends. It's all George Bush's fault. There's food missing out of my fridge, and I saw some funny looking Secret Service types this morning. That's part of the Patriot Act! Damn them!

There are only a few campgrounds that take reservations (the large crowded ones). I prefer smaller ones. Especially if they have no RVs/hookups/etc.
