This is why you should own a gun.

Honestly, it probably would not have done any good in this situation unless he had de-holstered it before the first shot.

If you take a shot like that, you can barely walk, let alone discharge a firearm.

true, but if you open carry the dude would never fvck with you in the first place.

Actually I love that video.

dumb fvck wrote a check he couldn't cash and got his ass beat.

So you would've been all for the guy getting assaulted taking a baseball bat to the kid before getting knocked out, just so he could "write a check his ass could cash"?

Technically he used excessive force. What exactly is defensive about hitting someone who is on the ground in the head with a skateboard, or kicking him while he's down?

you don't get into too many fights do you?

The goal is to knock them sensless so they can't get up.

run your mouth and get served, that's just the way it is.

making sure that he didn't get assaulted again

That's a bunch of crap. The guy was clearly in no position to retaliate after the first shot to the head. If you've ever been cold-clocked before, or have someone throw a cheap shot at you in a bar, you know the feeling. And this is with a skateboard no less.

Show that video to any jury and you easily have a conviction for assault and battery. Hell, you might even have a case for attempted murder.

and yet it could all have been avoided if douchebag didn't run his mouth.

There's a difference between what people do, and what is legally allowed.

The few fights I've been in have always been just plain old throwing down. Not taking a fvcking weapon to a guys head. There's a huge difference between the damage fists can do, and a fvcking skateboard.

yep. talk sh!t and you better be able to back it up. More people get beat down because of their mouth than anything.

He deserved it.
