[QUOTE="exskibum, post: 864045, member: 383"] Good stuff, John. Yours (with Kathy's urging) is the best policy with ass bags, but it's amazing how far advanced in age we have to get to start practicing it.* :unsure: * [SIZE=8px]The thing we too seldom think through is what happens if he reacts violently, including self defense issues. For example, having made the mistake of following him and starting an unnecessary confrontation, for most intents and purposes, one has all but given up his right to self defense, at least with deadly force (e.g., gun, knife, crowbar). Point being that even if his reaction would otherwise allow it, you're many times more likely to be charged for assault and battery, homicide or assault with a deadly weapon than have it treated as a justifiable act of self defense (not to mention the ramifications of legal defense costs and a potential civil action).
