There was all kinds of charges pressed on that guy.

But that does not answer my question. It has lingered in my mind and I long to know the answer.

Dread: I've sent you a pm but for the others, a lot is summed up in the movie The Power of One, the book Book of Five Rings, and the 6th UFC video. I'm willing to put the answer here if others ask.

Bubba: as far as I know, that particular charge is a myth. I believe New York state has something along those lines but it's not that. Certainly, the skill factor can be brought up in court. The police can use it to lay a charge of aggravated assault rather than assault or assault with the defence of self-defence.

We are off-topic here in the music thread but (to the mods) I think there is a value in discussing these issues. It seems most of us in kilts have an active conscience and it's good to ask questions before the crisis. I've heard more than one person say they think a place is safer when there is a man in a kilt there. Weird, but true. (any input from the mods on how this is progressing?)
