Fight at Bulls Practice Leaves Mirotic Hospitalized

Unless you were there or have an accurate play by play without bias its impossible to say.

In general, if you don't want to get punched, you shouldn't charge at someone.

I'm not a lawyer but this is what I found on the internet regarding self defence:


Self-defense permits a person to use not more than the same force which confronts them. So for instance if a person used non-deadly force to confront you, you may use equal force to defend yourself. However, you may not use deadly force to defend yourself when confronted with non-deadly force.


So based on that, I think pushing back is appropriate, but punching in the face is questionable.

That must not be from the U.S.. In the U.S. if you feel threatened you can shoot someone dead.

Liberty and freedom.. liberty and freedom.

Not sure. But the quote did say if someone uses 'non-deadly force', it didn't talk about a life threatening situation.


Like as an example, if you enter into a shoving match at the bar and no punches were thrown, I don't think you're allowed to pull out a gun and kill the guy and say "I felt threatened". I mean that would be excessive, no?

Uh, if I feel threatened, I feel threatened and I'm gonna take out my gun and settle the situation.

Seriously, y'all Aussies all that wimpy?

I'm talking about a hypothetical situation whereby somebody uses a non-deadly force on you, i.e., a hard slap or a shove. I'm saying that shouldn't automatically enable you to pull out a gun and shoot the guy and be able to qualify that action with "I felt threatened".

See Trayvon Martin case.
 
Someone can kill me with their bare hands, potentially. So if I feel my life is threatened I can use whatever means necessary to stop the threat.
