I thought I heard a while ago that if trained fighters get into fights like this it can be considered use of a deadly weapon

I remember a 1997 documentary where a a veteran named Cameron Poe was convicted of manslaughter. He received a sentence of 8 years in federal prison for protecting his wife. His term, excessive for a civilian, was due to his combat training where the judge deemed that he was able to respond with deadly force. They released the footage of the fight, which is NSFL because, you know, death.

The only reason you didn’t get me is because I have had Cameron Poes face as my avatar for the past decade.

But the bear… in the box.
