So then it was an unarmed robbery. :biggrinjester:

Better an arm than his head. This way, he and his ilk will have a constant reminder of their misdeeds. Maybe, just maybe, he can connect with his Momma's sperm donor during the healing process.

Apparently it took place outside of a second hand store. :roll:

Give him a hand!

Was he disarmed, or unarmed?

Usually, Air Jordans go for an arm AND a leg.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

I don't think that's what is meant when they say to try to disarm your attacker. :headscratch

What is sad is no one will point out that a big part of the reason he retaliated is the very low likelihood that the criminal would be caught or punished significantly if caught.

If I were on the jury, I think I would be conflicted (assuming no other unknown information).

If his lawyer "allows him" to testify it could get entered into the record, but I am not sure it would make a positive impression once they see the video.
I can understand his actions, but this is a perfect example of why you should not let your emotions take control of your actions after such an encounter.
I don't see that the odds are in his favor of a not guilty verdict. "Revenge" is not a good defense.
