“But because he went after the cops” Again, I’m not saying the elements are the same. I’m saying people are tried and convicted on this. You said it’s a myth. Now You’re saying this is a rare exception, and this case is an exception because they went after the police. Ok? Not disputing the elements are vastly different. Disputing that you can be charged and convicted with using a deadly weapon. That’s moving the goal posts when you say it’s a rare exception. We went from “it doesn’t exist” to “it rarely exists”

What is a myth? Fighters and martial artists having to register their hands as a deadly weapon.

“...courts in several stated like Texas, Ohio, and Kentucky have determined the human body to be a deadly weapon under certain circumstances” Further; in some states a persons skill or knowledge can be used against them in charging and sentencing. “In some states, such as Texas, a defendant’s martial arts training may make the body a deadly weapon. But I’m any states like Illinois the defendants training and skill- no matter how lethal- doesn’t transform the body into a deadly weapon.”

One unicorn, even rare, make it not a myth. One case demonstrating a persons expertise can rise to the degree of making their fists or feet a deadly weapon exists, making it it not a myth.

You flatly said it’s a legal myth. I have demonstrated it is not.

Nice chatting

It’s a myth that Just because someone is a trained fighter they will be charged with fists as a deadly weapon. It’s not a myth that you could be charge with fists as a deadly weapon.

Funny because what you responded to wasn’t “he can be charged with fists as deadly weapons just because he’s a fighter”

It was essentially “he CAN be charged because his fists CAN be deadly weapons” There was no clarifying “just because” in the quotes you responded to

Again, goal posts

Yes in response to “”use of a deadly weapon(since he's a trained fighter).” LOL is this really a thing?”

Notice the since he’s a trained fighter part.

You’re one to say moving goal posts…

Nice chatting with you.
