I give England another year or so before they ban fists because of their anti-social ability to create crime.

Awesome.

"Deserted Beaches", except for the camera helicopter flying over head.

EDIT: Oh and the last samurai may also run the risk of getting shot with crossbow.

Welcome to early 2008. I expect that in a few months from now you'll be letting us know that an African American has just been elected president of the USA. LOL

It just occured to me why guys from the states think this is such a big deal. The guy in the video is jaywalking, which of course, if a crime in the US. Don't stress, in the UK we are free to cross a road whereever we want.

I'm not a criminal lawyer, but I imagine it would depend on whether the driver could demonstrate that they had a genuine fear for their own safety or the safety of another person. Looking at the video I think that it would be difficult to show as if you have a car and you are moving at speed, there is very little danger from a person in the road with a sword. I would have thought the courts would look fairly dimmly at a driver mowing down someone on purpose in that circumstance when the driver could have easily left the scene. Self defence probably wouldn't apply (because the driver didn't need to run down the person - he could have driven past). Despite the OP's "conditioned to resist", the video looks pretty much like the drivers did the correct thing (ie avoided the situation). Self defence doesn't mean you get to go round shooting people at random.

It's all in the spelling, really. For instance. If your country spells it "self defense", then you have the legal ability to start shooting anyone that annoys you like Charles Bronson in Death Wish 12.

It's about time somebody did something about this.

Who hasn't been the victim of a fistular attack at some point in their lifetime? We should band together to stomp out this egregious threat to peace and prosperity.

And that's another thing: stomping . . . don't get me started on stomping.
