I don't know about you but I'd rather get a beatdown than get tossed in jail for murder even though I didn't start the fight.
Self defense is murder now?
In this case, there is no clear intent that the guy was going to murder the victim. If a person pulled out a knife and tried to kill someone every time a fight was being lost, I would think the victim even if he didn't instigate the fight would be arrested for murder. If the attacker had a knife or weapon himself, then I think pulling a knife would be justified. You also have to take into account that you can be arrested for carrying a concealed weapon like a knife in a lot of places. Again I'd rather get the beatdown than spend 90 days in jail or whatever for carrying a concealed weapon for something I didn't start.

That's ridiculous. If someone is attacking you like this, you have every right to stab/shoot/beat them, whatever is necessary, especially if the guy outweighs you 2 to 1. You do not have the luxury of asking the animal, "Do you intend to kill me" while he is pummeling you about the face with his giant gorilla fists.

Pulling out a knife and stabbing someone in a fight is absolutely ridiculous IMO. Think about it. Fists are one thing but stabbing someone will almost always end up worse. What if you are in a fight and kicking the crap out of somebody. Would it be justified for him to pull out a knife and stab you in self defense?
I'm not siding with the black dude. He definitely should be locked up but allowing people to pull out knives in fights in self defense opens up a huge can of worms legally.

you have got to be out of your fvcking mind to even think that. assuming it is purely self defense (which from the vidclip it is), and i am getting pummelled, i do not see anything wrong with pulling a knife and stabbing the fvcker in the heart.

Honestly, I don't know what I would have done in that situation. Lotta variables. Heat of the moment, etc?
My gut tells me I'd be dialing 911 and not getting in the mix. Who knows what else that a-hole has on him, if he has gang friends outside, a gun, etc. It's probably not worth it.
Hard to say though. I know that definitely I'd WANT to help, I just don't know if I'd do it. I'm fairly confident that there's not much I could do in that situation by myself. I know I'm not a fighter, am not trained (in any form), etc. Odds are if I did join in, I'd end up being a punching bag too.

Realistically, it'd be hard to say what i would or wouldn't do... who knows if he has a buddy or two outside, and who knows if they're packing (assuming the US of course).
Sucks to be that dude.. but he really shouldn't have run his mouth off.. whatever happened to just ignoring those types of people.. I mean it's pizza for chrissakes

That guy could have killed him. I don't think you realize--real life isn't like the movies. You can't take thousands of hits and not break a sweat.
It was unprovocted and not even a "fight"... it was a mauling by an animal. Most courts (despite the sarcasm and cynical outlook of the legal system) would find you not guilty of manslaughter if you put a few .45 rounds in him to stop it.
There would be nothing "morally" wrong if someone had shot him and it resulted in death. With that guy it would have been like putting down a dog (there isn't anything redeemingly "human" about him).

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! There's far too much logic there. This is the LAW we're talking about, and logic doesn't apply.Originally posted by: Triumph

A "fight" is mutual. If I'm at the bar and call some guy's woman a slvt, then we take it outside for a brawl thats one thing.
This video shows something on the other end of the spectrum. The large guy was attempting to inflict serious damage. He didn't look like he was going to stop until the guy hit the ground (and even then he still kept going). And the guy had nothing on him--no way to defend himself in way of size or strength.
If he had of used a gun or a knife I'm sure that the courts would have sided with him. What else could he have done? Take it? Thats absolute stupidity.
