They’re using UK law where injuring your attacker gets you prison time.

CT is an absolute sh*thole, bar none.
The cops are all corrupt a-holes.

You cannot carry a weapon in a vehicle - so you are made to be a target for carjacking or whatever. Of course, the cops are well-armed - but for you? Tough sh*t, peasant!

And when I write “weapon,” I do mean ANYTHING that may be construed by one of Ct’s robo-cops or their black-robed tyrants as such - including a Swiss army knife.

Something else to remember well too - Because CT is a relatively small coastal state, meaning “national border,” the 100 mile rule applies to search and seizures. So, for example, if you are involved in an auto accident in CT, you are automatically subject to a warrant-less search of your vehicle. The place is an absolute fkg pit of fascist despots, who take their orders from the elite blue-nose Long Island libtards who reside on the coast line.

Do yourselves a favor, and avoid like the plague that crap mound of state.

Isn’t self defense a human right?

Not in places like CT, NY, MD, MA, IL, etc.*

*Unless you're a cop, then you can kill whoever you want and say "I felt threatened." automatic GOOD SHOOT!

Exactly right - 3 ne’er do well teenagers against 1 person. If that isn’t a disparity of force that justifies equalizing weaponry, none exists.

That judge is as dumb as the day is long.

I guess those redneck yahoos in Connecticut see a young black man trying to defend himself, then panic and put him in jail. They are such racists.

How do you have a “safe avenue of escape” if jumped by three people? You’re positive they won’t chase you?

Why did the DA think that this was worth prosecuting? What happened to prosecutorial discretion? He should have gotten Hillary’s lawyer.

The political “left” did not exist during the formative years of the US. Neither did the political “right” as we understand those terms today. Those who believed in and fought for indvidual rights were the radicals of the time. Those who supported the monarchy (government) were the conservatives. But we can’t and shouldn’t apply our modern political constructs to the Revolutionary generation.

If I need anything related to CT, I have the DVDS of SOAP, set in the fictional town of Dunn’s River.

Never been and no desire to go.

I’ve been to New York City and learned that Conn. is a suburb of NYC.

Which about sums it up for me.

so how did the court prove the man was capable of running away and not being chased down tackled and murdered?

For anyone living in Conn- if you are ever in this situation- tell the court you tried to run- but they caught you and surrounded you and cut off your escape- Tell the court you KNEW that you had absolutely zero chance of escaping-

"...But we can’t and shouldn’t apply our modern political constructs to the Revolutionary generation..."

That is most CERTAINLY not what I was doing there, in that narrow focus. Not even close.
