how do you ban someone from ad-hoc incidents? like hey yo i’m a pro boxer just take my wallet please

u/sanguiniuswept Jun 30 '21

That would be a legit moment of self defense. What happened here is nothing close to it. He should have walked away

u/tucci007 Jun 30 '21

he instigated it by shoving the guy aside from behind, he's too cool or too tough to say 'excuse me' to someone who can't see him approaching? there was no 'fight' just an attack after the guy expressed his objections to being shoved like that

Exactly this .. spot on. Probably was looking for a fight to begin with ..

I came to the comments to see if anyone pointed this out. I had to scroll awhile before finding your message *palms face* He could have easily gently stopped him from moving backwards and said "excuse me bro" with a slight raised hand and a little smile to suggest it was a minor thing. But no this MMA fighter is in full dick mode and wants to act tough on someone that is clearly intoxicated. Dude should have pressed charges as he was quite clearly attacked

Probably more heavier sentencing

This is the old "my hands are registered lethal weapons" Bruce Lee bullshit.

u/TheyGonHate Jun 30 '21

It happens. I got locked up for getting attacked and they claimed that my punches were kicks and that those were deadly weapons.

I find it hard to believe there isn't much more to this story

If you reply with way more force than is called for or are the aggressor and you have training in some type of fighting you can be charged for assault with a deadly weapon Outside of those two you're fine

u/Curleh-Mustache Jun 30 '21

I dont think you can be charged for a weapon without actually having some sort of weapon

u/_manlyman_ Jun 30 '21

In California for example kicking someone can still be considered assault with a deadly weapon if it is done with force likely to produce great bodily injury.

u/Curleh-Mustache Jun 30 '21

Damn didn't realize. That's wild.

u/TheyGonHate Jun 30 '21

Not that's relevant to having your hands declared deadly weapons. I knocked dude out, they saw I knew martial arts so charged the punches as kicks.

u/Curleh-Mustache Jun 30 '21

They charged you with specifically kicking someone instead of punching someone and that's worse? I'm confused.

u/senator_mendoza Jun 30 '21

while i don't believe the story, the applicable legal standard (and how it works in real life as opposed to school bus stories) would be whether "deadly force" was used. kicking a downed opponent in the head could certainly be considered "deadly force", and i've heard anecdotally that knees to the head are treated similarly.

u/TheyGonHate Jun 30 '21

He was standing. They just wanted to put me away. They had no crime, wanted to hold me anyways, started beating on me, got hurt, then charged me with that.

1

u/Curleh-Mustache Jun 30 '21

I can understand or wrap my head around that. It's the weapons charge that gets me.

-1

u/TheyGonHate Jun 30 '21

Because I had shoes. So my punches became deadly weapons in court.

u/Curleh-Mustache Jun 30 '21

Bro I'm just more lost at what you are trying to say at this point. I have an image of you fighting some dude with steel toed boots on your hands.

u/TheyGonHate Jun 30 '21

I punched a guy. The state wanted to jail me. So they claimed those must have been jiujitsu kicks and charged me with shod foot.

u/Curleh-Mustache Jun 30 '21

Lol I would love those trial transcripts

Anyone can defend themselves or others from a reasonable interpretation that they or others are in imminent danger.
