Thread: Interesting read for people who CCW

I found this on another site and thought it was an extremely interesting read.

Nice find. Worth the read.

Long, but well worth reading. It presents a dose of reality that we should all think about.

That prosecutor and any detectives who ignored physical evidence in favor of statements from the attackers should be fired.

We're not talking about a hair with DNA that was missed here. We're talking about the attackers blatantly lying about where the events transpired, and physical evidence that was crystal clear in showing that.

IMO that's an absolute dereliction of duty and a complete waste of tax payer money.

Good read. Thank you for sharing.

A good reminder for folks to remember how quickly a simple neighborhood tiff can turn violent.

Why were the attackers not charged with anything?

Question for any members with legal expertise: how would this play in WA State?
A) In the Peoples' Republic of Seattle & Environs (North San Francisco/Santa Monica)?
and
B) In the part of the state located in Free America? (That part identifying socially and politically with rest of the Western USA)?
c.) If one is obviously physically inferior to the combined might of the assailants? e.g. age >60, orthopedic injuries, etc?
D.) How much does the law requiring the State to cover legal expenses in a finding of self-defense restrain the malicious prosecutions? I have seen people walk in situations that totally astounded me (assuming there was any resemblance between what the public is told and what happened) but I sure wouldn't depend on that phenomenon saving me. One example was the man who spent the night in a non-abode property he owned after a burglary or 2. When the thief returned the property owner pulled a pump shotgun and the burglar took off (accomplice outside). The property owner shot the thief in the gluteus as he fled and was stupid enough to say he shot to scare him. No charges were filed even after such a breathtaking paroxysm in astounding stupidity in (a.) shooting the fleeing goblin (b) admitting in shooting to scare, which is also admitting that he didn't feel like he was threatened with being killed or maimed. (Actually it would fly in TX where it's legal to shoot a thief on your property after dark.)
