thats awsome. Love his name "The DOctor" Any pics of this badA$$. Its like something from a Jet Li, or Jackie Chan Flick
In europe they will convict him for that. A lot of europeans don't feel you should defend yourself if it means someone else comes to harm.

Not necessarily, if they found he acted in self-defence he would most probably get off. British law is similar to what is mentioned about Italian law in the link.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I have heard LEO's state that once the assailants have been fought off and have left the building, the 'right' to use leathal force is no longer there. The rationale being, that they are leaving, let them go and file a report so the Law can pursue them. If you, a normal citizen pursue them and then kill them, you may be judged to have crossed the line. They ran, you stay in your house and be safe. You were no longer looking to be safe, you were looking to settle a score.
I said what I said based on self-defense cases in the UK that I have read about. Too often, the victim winds up getting treated like a criminal.

Italy has some very weird concepts of law. I remember after the death of Formula One racecar driver Ayrton Senna that Italian prosecutors charged certain members of the Williams team including the chief designer of the car (Adrian Newey) with Senna's death. He crashed during the 1994 Italian Grand Prix at Imola and died of massive head injuries-it was determined that the steering shaft failed at a very high speed turn.
this is awesome. if this guy doesnt go free, italy needs to seriously reevaluate it's legal system.
something like this happened in the states last year. a carjacker tried to steal a minivan at a gas station. he told everyone to get out and had some sort of weapon. he didnt realize it was four judo instructors on the way to a demonstration. they ripped him a new one and were on every news report across the country. watching the police lead the guy to the cop car was sweet--he was in some intense pain.

i remember that
but my version is different. i remember an instructor with his female pupils coming back from a competition.whos testimony would they convict him on? the criminals? if so, thats fvcked up. the one in the alley bleeding to death probably ran out there after he had his a$$ handed to him, i doubt the guy chased him in the alley and cut him up. even if he did, good.
yea that's the rationale at least... it's retarded. you have no way of knowing whether they are running away or just going back out to call in more buddies or what. you should be able to do whatever the hell you want with people who try to harm you.
