two quick thoughts. 1. "..it will be awesome on youtube defense.." I cannot imagine what it feels like to be woken up with a kick to the gonads. Wow. Good morning? However, after last Tuesday's election results, i can somewhat empathize. 2. "all parties successfully avoid charges of maturity" I see your point, but we need to make allowances in our legal system to let the man who has his decorations destroyed by youth, the man who opens the front door and has snowballs thrown at his head, the man who answers his doorbell to find that a carpet roll has been set up on his front porch so that he can't get through the front door and other misc. things like this (ahhh..memories) ..anyway, that guy has a right to chase the punks down the street and give them a swift kick in the ass if he can. He, and they, deserve it. Who, besides suburban bleeding heart liberals, could argue against this?
The victim is being charged? He should have waited for the police, instead he tried to detain the perp before the perp could disappear.
