I believe this was the article I read a while back:

These "what if" stories and "I'd do this" sound really good and might make you feel a little better about yourself, but they'll never happen that way.

There is a risk your taking when you go out of your way to help others.  Not just the action movie risk, but the legal risks after the action.  If you aren't willing to take those risks then you should just stay in the basement apartment with your mom.

I'm bothered by this because, I don't want to be paying a lawyer to explain why I felt it necessary to kill a guy who kicked my door in carrying a sword.

If somebody was banging and kicking at your front door (for what ever reason) would you answer it?

By not enforcing the law it's saying that it doesn't matter what others do to you, as long as they did it with good intentions.

I would have done the same thing he did (I don't have any swords, though. Would have grabbed something, my XD or whatever was handy) It would be the only right thing to do. By the time the cops get there the damage would be done.

Hey...I understand this point of view...as it is a VALID point of view.  Some of us WOULD accept that risk (of possibly recieving bodily harm and of the possible legal ramifications),  some of WOULDN'T accept that risk.   This guy accepted it.   Bravo!   I just hope there are people like this guy around if,  god forbid,  something bad were to happen to those who WOULDN'T accept the risk or their families.

Again...bravo!  And if he DOES get charged,  i'll be the first to donate $20 to his legal fund.

I agree. If you would let that happen to a woman, then I have doubts about your manhood. If that makes you angry, oh well.

Uh...not sure if anyone told you this or not...but...er...uh...and I really hate to break the news to you...but...uh...ummm...

SPIDERMAN IS A FRIGGIN' FICTIONAL CHARACTER!

 

[danny_galaga]

Charged with what? 

I have seen people driving by with porn on the little screens in their car. 

now that IS public, although i bet its argued its not. it reminds me of a couple in my home town some years ago that were feeling in the mood after moving into their house. they only had the curtains to put on the floor. so they took them down. for some unknown reason, an off duty policeman saw them at it (and would have had to be in their yard) and arrested them for lewd behaviour!

I meant the dude plays spiderman !

A part of me wishes that he had caught an actual rapist, cos think of how much better the news story would have been if he had chopped the guy's head off.

Also, Dartful is ridiculous.

[ChadTower]

Better story, yes, but he'd be in jail for first degree murder while the girl being raped would sue him for mental distress because she had to witness it.

In the movies, the girl would let him finish what the rapist started.

Yeah, I know it's in bad taste. So what.

[ChadTower]

In the movies that guy would have been Sean Connery, licensed Therapist.

[shardian]

Rape...swords...this reminds me of a certain movie...

[ChadTower]

[Dartful Dodger]

If the guy really was a rapist the ending of this story would be completely different.

A real criminal in his own home against a guy who lives in a basement apartment with his mom. It's ridiculous to believe this guy would have been able to stop a jaywalker, let alone a violent criminal.

[jbox]

Close, but no 'cigar'.

[shmokes]

No way.  This is my imagination.  He gets to do whatever he wants.  He cut the guy's head off.
