quoted from another forum in which I participate. I'm not vouching for the verity of the account, just that this is what I read there (IOW, all hearsay rules apply.) still, interesting:
"Speak of the devil. Over the weekend an incident occurred with two acquaintences. At the train station the two of them had a knife pulled on them. A scuffle ensued, but one of the two had a telescopic baton. It took the attacker down immediately, however, it was at this point that witnesses began to take notice of what was happening and what it looked like was two white kids beating the hell out of a black guy with a metal rod...plus combined with the adrenaline of the moment, one of the guys didn't leave it at just one smack and the assailant was taken away to the hospital. Then again, as it was stated to me, they 'pulled a Rodney King on his ass'. Now both of the acquaintences are sitting in jail. There is that line between what is considered self-defense and what is considered excessive force. Personally, I think that knife-wielding muggers who get the stuffing beat out of them have received an instant karma. However, I'm switching to pepper spray."
