@mark_a_phelps There are several good reasons /r/IAmA is popular; one of them is that the best questions rise to the top.

@khperkins That’s not how the law works. Following someone at a distance in public is not a crime, nor is it considered “starting a fight.”

@drewpotential I only put learning first because unlearning has a dependency upon learning.

via web in reply to drewpotential

@khperkins @johnjoseph @mollycrabapple You must not know much about the law or about fighting if you think a fist fight can’t turn deadly.

via web in reply to khperkins

@johnjoseph @mollycrabapple Ah, OK. I just want people to realize that lethal force can be achieved without weapons. Hands & feet can kill.

via web in reply to johnjoseph

@johnjoseph @mollycrabapple You understand that Martin was the one who escalated the confrontation to the level of lethal force, right?

via web in reply to johnjoseph

I pose to you that the ability to unlearn is nearly as important as the ability to learn.

@mollycrabapple @johnjoseph Mace is a non-lethal weapon, thus using lethal force in response would make you a criminal aggressor.
