should he be charged?

Should he be charged, yes........But the court will find him temporarily insane anyway, and dismiss the charges......so who cares.

If you think your life is in danger.

Once it no longer is (like when the dude you're pummeling is obviously out for the count), then what?

And that's why we're all glad you're not in a position of legal authority.

If you're going by the letter of the law, there are vastly better resources the OP could have polled than TWF.

I think by "we're all glad" you may be speaking for a good number of people that agree with me.

Read Trip's answer. He was simply protecting others.

I think OSP was just reverting back to his Valley Girl days.

"So I'm all..."

"And she's all..."

"And we're all..."

Ok, so the guy busts in and sees his daughter being fondled... he grabs the guy and tosses him to the ground, punching him a couple of times and the dude dies... He protected his daughter. Now, let's say the guy does EXACTLY the same thing, except he hits the guy literally 100x in the face with a brick... he protected his daughter and committed manslaughter. Simple.

So the law should be biased toward people that are strong. Got it.

Don't care either way, statue + medal = win

Yeh dude what happened was shitty that the guy died, as a kiddie raper, he deserved to spend a few years in jail getting his ass pounded. But the guy did nothing wrong and deserves a handshake and some free counseling for any remorse he gets from killing the guy. He was defending a child and did not intend to kill the guy, oops, sorry, next story.

[tommymac]

shit, I would have pummeled him, took him to work so they could revive him just so I could do it again.

Not all things legally are cut and dry and have to be taken within the context of what happened. had thsi been a bar fight or soemthing yo uknow damn well a guy would get charged.

Some guy in NYC was just killed protecting a friend in a domestic dispute so it can go extreme in both ways. The guy in tx will probably walk and when they catch the guy in NYC hopefully they will nail him to the wall.

[nhgunnut]

There is both a legal and a moral question and by all accounts he needed killing
