Legally, he might be in some trouble Morally, I agree with what he did, though. You have a right to defend yourself and your loved ones.

A guy I knew in college was killed in Philadelphia He was killed by shots fired from a drive-by shooting. Here you have a college student-athlete killed outside of a party over summer break. No mention of the shooting/murder in the papers or on televised news.

Years ago my car was almost totalled, so to get around my girlfriend let me borrow her car. I drove it for three weeks, and before I gave it back to her I decided to vacuum it out. Right underneath the passenger seat was a bag of marijuana that she didn't even know was there. It turns out her...

I tell everyone I know to say this if a cops asks to search: "No, I don't consent to a search" If the officers asks why, then: "A lawyer told me to never consent to a search."

That video was absolutely DISGUSTING Sorry, it's not very "High Road" of me, but I agree with some of the other posters in that I wish I was there.

Ditto. I'm the guy that most people are probably worried about. What's interesting is that my "demeanor" simply consists of situational awareness combined combined with a "man up" attitude. When I see suspicious characters, I make sure that they are aware that I am aware of them. Goblins...

Zero_DgZ: Yeah, on the surface it's funny, but the reality is that this seems like a blatant (proposed) violation of the 1st amendment. And if this ban were to make it to law, then what's next? Maybe bans on certain attire, clothing, colors, etc. Ex: The .gov claims gang members...

:rolleyes: Y'all forgot this very emotionally-appealing sentence. My definition of "serious" is much more, well, serious. Can someone explain this sentence to me?

Savage3006: This law applies only to "happy slapping?" To me, it seems like a convenient way to limit access to negative information about France. Kinda like how some cities fudge crime statistics to make the city appear safer than it really is, so that the city remains an attractive...

Either that, or everyone will be required to wear government-issued shackles.

Wow, cross France off the list I will not consider living there. This seems like plain, old-fashioned government censorship to me. What about acting? If a French drama student films themselves in a "violent" scene and publishes it, what if the .fr.gov doesn't realize it's acting?

Wired ran an article about this some time ago: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.06/chemistry_pr.html

You could simply point out the fact that if a "psycho" with a gun were to corner them somewhere, they would be completely helpless to defend themselves, their wife/husband, their kids, etc.
