That was actually one of the last attempts at violent crime in NH, too...with a baseball bat. *** is with baseball bats?

Question, too, do baseball bats officially count as a deadly weapon, if a gang of suspicious sorts started to walk towards you with a couple of them? What's the cutoff point for you to be able to legally respond with at least a CCW draw of weapon, if you can't safely retreat? How they wield them?

Sad thing about the Clockwork Orange ref, though, is that I know people in the UK who say that that sort of thing is very common, now. People can't defend themselves, and there's groups of trash punks in a lot of the ex-industrial cities who just get stinking drunk and go out and beat the crap out of random people on the street, just because they can.
 
Reno NV bat attack thwarthed

Recently in Reno an elderly man was at the car wash and was about to get in his car when a gang-banger agressively approached him in an attempt to rob him while being flanked on the sides by two of his hoodlum accomplices. The elderly gent used his pistol to repel the thugs, shooting the one with the bat. The other two thugs then dragged the attacker to a waiting car. Cops came got info and aprehended the thugs at the hospital. The elder gent went on his way. Sure is nice to live in the United States "Nevada" where one can defend one's self, unlike places like the PSRK.

I'm no lawyer but my understanding has always been that you can use your weapon any time you feel a reasonable fear of death or serious injury. If I'm 5'1" and 140lb and some 6'5" 270lb guy tells me he's going to kill me with his bare hands, and I can't escape the situation, I think that could certainly qualify. If someone is coming at you with a bat and you feel threatened then I say you should defend yourself. Bats aren't guns but they can kill just the same. Hell, it's one of our (gun owners) arguments for not banning guns. That people would just switch to other methods of killing like bats or knives.

So yeah, dude with a weapon and apparent hostile intent? I'm taking defensive action with my own weapon. And he can learn to never bring a bat to a gun fight.
 
BTW, these evil SOBs deserve the same treatment. I very much hope they are caught and dealt with swiftly.

I wonder too, with the prevelance of such things these days, if there also wasn't someone who was filming it. Seems to be more of a thing with some of these crimes these days.
 
as orwell was describing much in his own time,burgess does also.but now it is more so.
 
These Scum Bags Should Receive The Same

It's a shame a CCW wasn't passing by, but at that hour what are the odds? I have a strong personal dislike of bullies.. in all their manifestations..and will deal with that type swiftly if I'm ever attacked again. It's why I took the class and have my Texas CHL.

"Get me once..shame on you..get me twice, shame on me." That will never happen...I'll go down blastin'!

Take Care

Bush catering to wealthy & business = homeless

Warmongering, legal guns and Conservatism = violent white youth

I'd think so, especially in Florida.

From http://www.leg.state.fl.us

766.301 - However, the person is justified in the use of deadly force only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. A person does not have a duty to retreat if the person is in a place where he or she has a right to be.

776.08 - Forcible felony.--"Forcible felony" means treason; murder; manslaughter; sexual battery; carjacking; home-invasion robbery; robbery; burglary; arson; kidnapping; aggravated assault; aggravated battery; aggravated stalking; aircraft piracy; unlawful throwing, placing, or discharging of a destructive device or bomb; and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual.

784.011 Assault.--
(1) An "assault" is an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.

784.021 Aggravated assault.--
(1) An "aggravated assault" is an assault:
(a) With a deadly weapon without intent to kill; or
(b) With an intent to commit a felony.
 
Just a shame that these punks don't know that you can use a baseball bat to actually PLAY BASEBALL with.:eek:
Just glad that where I live we generally don't have a lot of that type mess. going on. I'm too grouchy (and still on crutches) to fool with a bat, I'd just have to tell them that it was a shame that they brought a bat to a gun fight.:neener:
 
I love the way her....

sweater was tailored in A Clockwork Orange..........I guess if the punks used pickax handles, it would probably be called union violence, and the investigation would be dropped.......If I came under this situation, it would be one of those statements "you don't bring a baseball bat to a gunfight"......chris3
 
As of right now, they haven't caught these punks. When I discussed this incident with my wife, and I told her where these beatings took place, she said "Rich kids, out for some kicks."

I agree. Just another reason for CCW.

BTW, as much as I dislike Jeb's (and his older brother's) way of doing business, I'm puzzled... Just how did they get into this topic again?

In my book - an unqualified yes.
 
From Packing.org

Weapon:
"A thing designed or used as a means of inflicting bodily harm, such as a gun or bomb or stick, or a horn or claw."

Bat trumps stick...IMO

Here also we have had couple of incidents, more frequently lately, when some bored 15yo kids beat someone for fun. Couple of days ago one fellow went to his friend, slightly drunk, and was beaten up, clothes ripped and left on the river's ice under some bridge (and it is below zero centigrade, approx 20 F), so luckily he was found and warmed up. Some other fellow was beaten to death, month ago one elderly lady (80yo or so) was roughed up. And very digusting, years ago another elderly lady's home was broken into, about 50 bucks or so stolen, lady raped, sliced and beaten to death. Happily most of the F-ing kids were caught and convicted.

Some time ago some kids drove a car, drunk as usual, and as they wanted to make a prank closely drove by a bicycler, that was hit and killed, kids were too afraid and dragged the body for couple of miles (body over hood and partially below car) and the ditched the body to a trench. No serious conviction was made. Later some kids, again drunk, drove car and shot out of the car window, at night for fun, and hit a lady who was waiting a late bus, killing her. Guys got off clean due contacts in higher places.

Goddamnit, it makes me puke and ashamed to live here.

I'm around that area all the time. I generally walk by it on the way to the Las Olas area (there are a lot of great nightclubs around there). That area always smells of homeless people.

It's sad when things like this happen. What prompts a person to such senseless violence?
 
A) Thats really messed up. You shouldnt go aorund hitting people with bats, even if they rae homeless. I bet they ownt like it so much when one of the homeless men pulls out a weapon of his own...

B) We must ban bats NOW they are weapons of terror and mass murdering, capabale of semi-automatic beat-downs. :neener:

All Major League teams should have to play with wiffle balls and bats, too.
