Got-Boost? Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Obviously, the guy was in the wrong for vandalizing his car but he didn't really do any damage. Spray paint can be removed in a few minutes and anything worse can be detailed out. Its not like he keyed it or took a bat to the thing... Now the moron assaulting him and causing bodily damage can and probably will get sued. A few hundred bucks to that ugly ass EVO is nothing for what his legal fees are going to be if that guy goes after him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few hundred bucks to that ugly ass EVO is nothing for what his legal fees are going to be if that guy goes after him... Spray paint can do damage to the clear. If it was assault, then it was wrong. From the video, it seem like it was a case of assault and not self defense. But it doesn't show what happened before the video. If what the Evo owner said was true, then it was a case of self defense at the begging of the confrontation, but breaking the vets leg when he is trying to flee in his van was the assault. The media and lawyers will help earn the vet a ton of money with that video. Putting the video up to brag about the situation was the dumbest thing the Evo owner could have done.

Mallard Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 On the original forum it' was posted on there are several lawyers who all agree that the kid was in idiot and will face charges since he posted the video. One had shown the video to the people in his office and it sounded like they were already working of bringing the charges against him. Now it's made the front page of Jalopnik too.

Mallard Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 This is gonna get better. The guy is a trained fighter. http://www.facebook.com/NicholasHNguyen?sk=wall Question: Since he is a trained fighter, can his hands be considered a deadly weapon?

accel_is_my_drug Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Never touch another man's car. I don't care if it is a new Z06, and Evo, or 1995 civic DX hatch daily driver with 245,000miles. You just don't touch another man's car. As for the history aspect, Would it be ok to smash a BMW because you are jewish? No. Also, We had concentration camps for Japanese Americans in WWII. Check out Fort Missoula Internment camp in Montana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but solving the situation by taking the law into your own hands is not acceptable. The kid took it too far. As for the history aspect, Would it be ok to smash a BMW because you are jewish? No. The histroy was just mentioned so it was understood why he was targeted, since so many people seem clueless and think it was random. Also, We had concentration camps for Japanese Americans in WWII. Check out Fort Missoula Internment camp in Montana. We did not kill them.

TTQ B4U Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Question: Since he is a trained fighter, can his hands be considered a deadly weapon? Pretty sure it's a myth. Legally if he's a professional fighter who is paid, there may be some legal weight but no official registration exists that I know of. In the case here, I would say it will likely go down that the kid confronted the guy who became combative and the kid defended himself. Doubt much will come of it. Video doesn't show anything except adrenaline flowing through a pretty pissed off individual. Welcome to the internet and the age of cell phone videos. Sure, some drama "could" be brought out, but no weapons were used and unless the old guy has a witness come forth, he doesn't have much. I've seen worse on COPS reruns.

You'd need a highgrade metallic, maybe sprinkle some cocaine on it while drying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 For some reason, I'm reminded of the vid of the mouthy chick at McDonald's that came over the counter and then got McClubbed. I think there are a lot of parallels between that situation and this one: 1. Someone was committing a crime (vandalism in one case, aggravated menacing in the other) 2. The victim retaliated 3. And people somehow are trying to find ways to blame the victim Maybe I'm missing something, but common sense would suggest that perpetrator's tend to lose their rights for crying foul right around the time they opted to break the law.

So if a vet robs a bank here in the states he should be pardoned? makes sense For some reason, I'm reminded of the vid of the mouthy chick at McDonald's that came over the counter and then got McClubbed.

RyM3rC Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 So if a vet robs a bank here in the states he should be pardoned? makes sense That's a little extreme. Let's try this: 2 men pee on your lawn while you're mowing your grass. One is your daughter's deadbeat boyfriend, one is someone who signed the dotted line to risk their life to protect you and your way of life. Do you feel differently? I'm not saying it was okay.

This post wins. I don't know why our justice system doesn't start and end with "hey, if you don't want to get the shit beat out of you for vandalizing someone's car, DON'T FUCKING VANDALIZE CARS" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
