I suspect that he was either advised by his lawyer to say that, or he was smart enough to say it after the fact. He didn’t actually get chatty during a fight for his life.
It’s part of the legal dance you have to do in Britain after defending yourself. “And then I said, ‘Sir, you should not hold your knife pointed at my face, because that could be interpreted as a hostile act’”. Utter b.s., but then again, so are their self-defense laws.
Fortunately, in much of the US, you can rely on Tuco’s rule.
“When you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.”
‘Utter b.s., but then again, so are their self-defense laws.’
No, they arent. The ignorant crap I have to read on these pages about UK laws and rights IS, however.
