    That might be true in America, but it isn't true here. The Spanish are the original Hispanics.

    You're betting that something "might" happen? That's not the way betting works.

    If a jury decides that this is okay, then they're just as unhinged as you are.

    But Latino is very misleading. Technically it's people related to the early Latin speaking peoples, so Italian, French and Spanish would very much fall under this grouping.

    If you had read the whole thread you would have noticed I made a clear distinction between legal and moral. Don't let facts get in your way though.

    I did read the whole thread.

    And it's still amusing seeing you teaching a cop about law.

    "Don't go quoting the law to me! I've already got all the information I need, tried the case, and reached a guilty verdict!"

    2nd time: Except I didn't quote anyone the law. I made a very clear distinction between legal and moral positions. I.E. I admitted he would legally get away with it but that it was morally wrong to chase someone for blocks, start a second confrontation, and then execute him.

    Why don't you start reading threads as then you could argue about what people actually said instead of what you imagined or wished they said? Seriously, you should be embarrassed by being so completely wrong and claiming someone said something they never did.

    I guess an argument between Packard and teh baba would be less interesting, but come on, guys, can you spice it up a bit? We've got ratings to consider!

    It's a crap-shoot! One punch can kill but several guys can attack somebody and literally (happened to a bud of mine - what a disgusting mess) kick the
    shit out of them and they survive with no ill effects. That said, you the puncher are ultimately responsible for your actions.

    Interesting side note - guy I knew in the Air Force had a brother in The Marines who got killed by getting hit with a wooden chair from behind.
    A metal screw from the chair went into his head or an artery or something and killed him.

    So the next time you watch a Western or action movie yuck it up over the bar-room brawl scenes. BTW throwing somebody thru a window head-first tends to cut them to ribbons, possibly fatally.

    I've never been to a casino, but isn't that exactly the way betting works? :unsure:

    weren't there a couple of head-punch fatalities when that "knock out game" fad was going on?

    No. You bet that something will happen.
