Self Defense

[Zoom-boing]

What if you are fishing and someone is following you? What do you do? Honestly.

Get out of the situation or, if that's not possible, call 911.

Yeah call 911 while some guy is hitting or kicking you.

Do you realize that twice as many people were killed with fists and feet than were killed by rifles (including assault rifles) in 2011?

If some guy attacks you you defend yourself with whatever force is necessary to:

A) stop the current attack

AND

B) deter any future attack.

She didn't say "if someone was hitting or kicking you", she said "if someone was following you". I believe Luissa was referring to the Trayvon Martin calling a friend, rather than 911, when he was being following by Zimmerman. Had he called 911 maybe he'd still be alive.

Getting out of/away from the situation before it becomes a physical confrontation is the best course of action.

Scream for help, when someone shows up yell at them not to help you but to get the video rolling.

I've heard if you yell 'fire, fire' over and over and you'll likely get help faster. Don't know if that's just a tall tale or has some truth to it. To be sure? Yell "Help, fire!! Fire, help!!" over and over.

She was talking about Martin.

He could have called 911, but then he might have been scooped up for trespassing in the gated community where he was.

I'm aware that laws differ from state to state but what do you think is legitimate self defense ?
Let's say you are at a lake fishing and someone comes up and attacks you ? You're not in a position to worry about legal technicalities here. The person is beating the crap out of you. Is using force against your attacker a legitimate option ? If so, How much force are you allowed to use and are you allowed to use a weapon to defend yourself? How much injury do you have to suffer before you can resort to using a knife to defend yourself. A gun ? A big stick ?

Let's say you kill your attacker while defending yourself. There are no ear nor eyewitnesses. Do you go to prison because you are unable to prove you were not the aggressor ?

Going to prison because you manage to save your own life sorta sucks doesn't it ?

Is it Crystal Lake?

Falcon Lake.

What Martin should have done was call his Dad. "Dad, some creepy ass cracka (using correct spelling according to the dictionary of Rachel Jeantel) is following me. Can you come out here and find out what this rapist is up to?"

That's what most SANE CHILDREN would do.

If someone is following you, the first thing to do is determine whether they are following you or just happens to be going the same direction you're going.
