Nash, one has nothing to do with the other.
A: Chicken George didn't accost anyone with deadly force and thus receive like force in return. Chicken George was murdered.
B: The bum that I was involved with was guilty of assaulting me, and I was legally entitled to defend myself. I suppose I could have stopped and asked him if he would release his grip on my arm. What if he had a knife in his other hand? A gun?
I was with my wife. When I am assaulted like that, I do not have to ask questions. Law enforcement on the scene fully agreed that I was within my legal right to take the action I did.
By the way, a search of his person revealed a long, folding knife and although he didn't have it out at the time...you never know.
For either of you to draw comparisons between my incident and the illegal use of deadly force used on George is assinine, especially from a former member of law enforcement, shame on you for that.
