He threw it you said

That is excessive

I didn't say throw

The other problem is people thinking they can whack away with bats as if it's the movies

That's a problem?

Doesn't matter if it was point blank or thrown anyway

Do you know what "an eye for an eye" means?

It's about punishment being fit to the crime

Imagine having to lock up your knives, so you have to run past the intruder, and then punch in your combo just to fight back

Killing someone for trying to steal your shit is excessive

Intentional or not

No it's not

^

if you break into my house you've forfeited your right to safety

What's excessive is keeping them alive and using them as slave labor @ShrektEffect

Oh so if someone pickpockets my wallet in the street I can shoot them?

@ShrektEffect I am legally allowed to shoot someone in the face if they carjack me

And I'm in a liberal state

"accidental" death during struggle is justifiable... just make sure you don't continue to stab the cunt for another 72 times after he's dead, that won't wash in court as self defence, hehehe.

self defence is one thing the US legal system usually gets right

Bedside bats. Are they legal?

sorry britcucks

@Fitzydog if they're like here, it's legal to have a bat in general, but having one on you for the purpose of self defence (with intent to use as a weapon) is illegal

so you have to be coincidentally cleaning your bat when the breakin happens

So self defense is illegal

yeah

our self defence laws are pretty cucked

that said..

we don't really have many niggers trying to burgle houses either

in UK, you can justifiably grab whatever is nearest you in self-defence... you make it clear in your statement that the bat was there by coincidence.

so it balances out i'd say

in UK if a criminal broke into my house, saw my Airsoft gun on my shelf and ran away thinking it was real, I could probably be prosecuted

What if the bat has "criminal beating stick" written on it?

lel

well, talking hard on social media would go against you in court of course

Lmao

It's not fucking illegal you idiot @Fitzydog

Did you even read the quote I tagged you with?

you can't go around telling everyone "I keep a bat next to my bed" then expect to be believed it was only there by coincidence when in court.
