I’ve always had an issue with this. My personal opinion is that with self defence you have to go “too far”. I recently had a discussion with someone that’s spent basically his entire life going in and out of jail.

He mentioned a few things that re-enforced my belief. First, frequently when committing crimes people (he was referring to “career criminals”) are on drugs and their adrenaline is pumping so they really don’t feel much until the next day.

Secondly, if the person is a “career criminal”, they may really not want to go back to jail, so he/she will be fighting in a survival mode. Even if you subdue the person, as soon as that person has an opportunity to escape/fight back he will.

Third and most important, how do you know that this person is alone and not carrying a weapon.

Basically for me, self defence means the other person is unconscious. Fortunately I’ve never needed to use this and hopefully I never will.

I’m trying to put together a program to build the legendary “old man strength”

By definition going too far would quite literally be going too far.

Intentionally killing someone would be going ‘too far’. But doing what is nescessary for your own safety, or the safety of others is not going too far.

But I take your point. The last time I was involved in a fight, someone (who was clearly high) attacked my friend, he just came up to him and punched him in the face. I beat the guy up a bit and basically told him to fuck off or I would drink his blood, or something to that effect (I speak complete gibberish when I get pissed off).

The guy came back shortly after with a weapon. Fortunately for us he seemed to come to his senses a bit and back off. But I learnt that if someone attacks you or your friends, you should not leave them with the capacity to do further harm to you.

It could have easily gone bad that night and I or my friends could have been stabbed. I would not leave someone standing if I was involved in such a situation again. Not out of spite or a want to inflict injury on a person, but for my personal safety.

What is going on here, i live nearby where this happend. Theres a discussion of wether he should get in trouble by the law for assult ? are u serious. that man deserves some kind of medal and some cookies for what he did . An old timer whooping the shit out of a young punk ? whats better than that … thats the definition of justice.

While this guy isn’t an old man, he delivers some serious vigilante justice on a punk trying to rob his convenience store.

I definitely see a lawsuit in his future.

While I thoroughly enjoyed watching the asskicking, the soccer kicks and mini-powerslam while the guy was in the fetal position were probably a bit much.

This type of violence really irks me. He didnt have to beat that man half to death. Now we should all hug a tree and when u work out today make sure you do your curls in the squat rack…ok ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I’m glad he beat him down .
