I don't care if he came back 3 weeks later and finished the job. I woudn't charge him if it were up to me.

Not really. You have the right to protect yourself and others... it's the point in which the threat is nullified and you keep on going which is in question. I don't know if he should be charged... not enough info... which is my point.
And that's why we're all glad you're not in a position of legal authority.

If it was about the law then all you would have to do is look at the legal writings that applied.
Either way, it would be hard to find a jury that would convict a father who protected his daughter.

It's a legal question... if it wasn't a legal question, the word 'charged' shouldn't have been included. It wasn't 'did he do the right thing?' or 'should we throw this guy a parade?' it was a legal question by definition. My opinion was provided based upon my rudimentary knowledge of the law. |
