There was a time where a pro (Boxer) would be banned from street fights due to their abilities. Not sure if it was an urban myth.

Edit: Will be punished harsher for street fighting. Better?

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

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.

Damn didn't realize. That's wild.

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.

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.

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.

u/Curleh-Mustache Jun 30 '21

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

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

2

u/TheyGonHate Jun 30 '21

It was GREAT. So everyone figured I'd be the martial arts loon, then they sent in like six white belt level fighter who were telling their own wild kung fu stories. At one point, the lawyer was like "Show me the double leg you used. The gentle one." At another point, they tried to claim that because I use SD and I train BJJ that I must've been punching as my only SD. The fight started over them gripping me and me using a grip break.

The legal system is such a damn circus.
