Wait...what? This discussion was never about defending a wife or child. Let's stay on topic and point.

Man the what ifs and walking on water here. Coulda, shoulda, woulda, but actually did get assaulted by a bunch of "kids" who happen to be bigger than him. I love excuses for crappy behavior.

It's why I always tell women to not dress provocatively it only incites men, and that in turn is their fault for dressing provocatively.

"We haven't had anybody come forward to file a report on it," Kyle Teems, chief of police in Emerson, Georgia, told ESPN. "Obviously, there is something that happened there. No one has come forward yet."

Possibly an error in judgement by these officials to not file a report???

Or perhaps, maybe if they did take it to the police, their own behinds might be in trouble.....

Hopefully someone with legal knowledge can answer....at what point in this incident does the "acting in self-defense" privilege end?

I would think this would be based on the location of the incident. Because I know there are different rules in some states like Florida for Stand your Ground laws that would not apply in other states. I guess it would depend on many factors.

Not a legal answer but Jeff's point is certainly valid....it probably depends on the jurisdiction.

However, many cases I've observed turn from self-defense once the other party is going away from you and you seek re-engagement.

This incident in this video stopped being self-defense about 30 seconds into the video when the referee pushed through someone standing in his way to go after someone.

I am not sure what stopped or did not stop, words were said and if you say certain things that are considered threatening, you might still be able to defend yourself at that point. But again, there were no charges filed at the official, so someone is not thinking they should have stopped what they were doing. It does not matter what we say at this point, this would be up to the State's Attorney in that jurisdiction to decide what laws were violated.

Peace

We just this week had a court case where a homeowner got jail time b/c he continued to shoot at intruders after they had retreated to their vehicle and were leaving the premises.

I was just reading about how the same conduct in different jurisdictions can yield very different legal results. A man was sentenced in one state for standing up for himself. He struck second and effectively ended the encounter with that one blow, but the jury determined that he had the opportunity to leave the area after he was struck first and chose not to. The same behavior in a so-called "stand your ground" state would have been defendable.

I'm not a lawyer, but I've watched countless episodes of Law & Order.

It was said basically there was no reason to get into with a 16-year-old in any case. I showed this to my wife and she had a visceral position and even suggested that she would likely do something if faced with this situation. So yes there are situations were not alone or without people that might also take a position on what is going on. I also do not know the relationship of all the officials in this case either. There might have been some family members involved. If there is no reason to react as a human, then own it for all situations when you take that position.

I was at a tournament yesterday with 70 courts where some people had family members working as officials or working with family members. I would doubt there is just a "walk away" attitude if certain things go down in certain places. This is the topic. When you suggest there is nothing that we should do because we have the magical stripped shirt on, you are not taking into all the accounts of what could happen. Just because it is not what you imagined in your mind, does not mean making these points are not apart of the conversation. Many of us have life experience in these situations you might not have.

Peace
