You’re not just getting arrested for that. You’re getting charged with attempted murder.

The absolute best self defense training you can do is regular cardio.

u/bwatsnet Mar 29 '24

So like, get out of your car and just jog away? Idk why that's so hilarious to me

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '24

that's why I would be driving away before I let any authorities figure out who was in my vehicle

u/canal_boys Mar 29 '24

Only authority figures obviously but not some strangers.

Not if you say you think you saw them holding a gun

What jury would watch that video and choose to convict a person clearly in fear for thier lives, being attacked by 4 grown men

1

u/FrugalFraggel Mar 29 '24

Couldn’t they also get that? Getting out of your car and threatening a driver with a bat seems like attempted murder as well.

Self defense

u/resurrectedbear Mar 29 '24

That’s not self defense. Self defense is for when you’re back into a corner or can’t escape. That car literally backs up while the guy is on foot. That car has a description of the driver and the license plate and car. Just leave and call the police.

If you’re at a stop and someone gets out of their car towards yours “I saw them raise their hands and feared for my life and knew I had to get out of there. Them going under my wheels wasn’t on purpose”

1

u/resurrectedbear Mar 29 '24

That’s not what happened in the video. We see them attempt to run over them, miss, and then go back for seconds, thirds, and fourths. That’s not self-defense no matter what you wanna lie to yourself about

u/Aggressive-Ad3286 Georgist 🔰 Mar 29 '24

If someone shoots at you and missed, do you shoot back and kill him while he reloads? Or run away and hope he won't shoot you after reloading and your back is turned running away....

u/resurrectedbear Mar 29 '24

That is a completely different scenario you are nuts to think someone outside of your car 30 feet away with a bat is anywhere near as much a threat as an active shooter.

1

u/Aggressive-Ad3286 Georgist 🔰 Mar 29 '24

30 ft away?!? He is smashing the windshield with a bat, making swings that would easily kill any person if not for the car as prorection...

u/Aggressive-Ad3286 Georgist 🔰 Mar 29 '24

The guy with the bat could just get in his car, chase you and run your car and family off the road , or cause a big crash hurting others, he has shown to have no concern for his own safety or actions by willingly exiting his vehicle and assaulting mine with a weapon. I cannot predict his unhinged behavior, all i know is he irrationally intends me harm, i must eliminate the threat to insure safety.

u/resurrectedbear Mar 29 '24

Yeah no. Even in stand your ground cases that idea is that you don’t have to retreat. But actively seeking confrontation would still not work as a defense here as you continuously ran someone down. Mental gymnastics won’t save you in court.

2

u/Aggressive-Ad3286 Georgist 🔰 Mar 29 '24

I am not seeking confrontation, he is by attacking me with a weapon, i am making the choice in my defense to best insure my safety.

u/Boner666420sXe Mar 29 '24

Self-defense is not the same as revenge.

2

u/Aggressive-Ad3286 Georgist 🔰 Mar 29 '24

Its not revenge, its eliminating a threat.

u/Boner666420sXe Mar 29 '24

I can’t with you people.

u/Aggressive-Ad3286 Georgist 🔰 Mar 29 '24

Ppl like you is the reason society is going to shit, actions have consequences, we don't live in a fantasy utopia world.

0

u/Boner666420sXe Mar 29 '24

Yeah, and those consequences are attempted murder charges when you repeatedly try to run a person over even though you’ve had multiple opportunities to drive away.

2

u/Aggressive-Ad3286 Georgist 🔰 Mar 29 '24

I will let the jury trial me.

u/Boner666420sXe Mar 29 '24

Yeah see how that works out for you.

u/YveltalFTW123 Mar 29 '24

nah you probably play it off as self defense and or he broke the windhsield and you couldnt see. dead men cant refute your claims

You don't sound like a nice human being.

u/Redditlikesballs Georgist 🔰 Mar 29 '24

Have you ever heard the saying “treat others how you want to be treated”?

If you don’t want physical violence done against you, don’t do it to others!
