    and you end up before a judge for assult with battery. the scumbags defense makes you out to be some sort of GI joe person because you did some martial arts training. you end up with a criminal record and all that comes with it.

    saying all that id still prob lend a hand or fist as the case warrented

    Firstly, there is no assault with battery here unless that is, you actually assault someone with a Duracell :)

    Secondly, people are entitled to use reasonable force, it's happens everyday of the week and they don't get locked up. Your really jumping the gun a bit. It's when the force becomes excessive and unreasonable that there is a problem.

    The facts are, that they were attending to someone and were attacked by a 3rd party (1 person) who was interfering with them for a while (and eventually turned violent.)

    I'm just wondering because most newspapers and websites are reporting that the individual they were attending to attacked them. Just curious.

    I guess the main thing is the person responsible was identified.

    When did someone last get charged for that scenario?

    Nope...I trust my 20 20 vision ahead of the newspapers any day! (in fairness, the real facts are in the public domain...some news outlets reported them correctly!)

    04:30 on a Tuesday morning the streets were hardly going to be packed.

    Probably enough bashing for the guys and girls who weren't even there
    And did nothing!
