I wasn’t referencing self-defense laws, just broad legal concepts. 49 states use the British common law; 1 uses Napoleanic law.

From my understanding no; you’d be justified in using deadly (gun) force in that situation.

If your point was crazy ass laws in different states, don’t start with stating it being about LA’s self-defense law. Your post reads like the old saying, “if it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent a year in college.”

Yeah, I remember in law school various professors making comments like “the laws of 49 states are relatively similar, then there’s Louisiana”

Thanks for the answer. Makes sense. I saw another poster state something similar, adding that apparently there’s video evidence of McKnight opening the guys car door.

I’ll give you that bailing on being a groomsman the day before the wedding is fucking shitty.

Nothing would really surprise me.

Right, as do all states. However, FOIA is specific to federal government agencies only. State laws, such as the Sunshine Law in FL, are commonly referred to as public records laws.

Yeah, that’s a shitty thing to do. There’s no excuse for that.

I’m at 3 years because my family are manipulative pieces of shit, and I’ve never been happier, and my relationships with my wife, kids and close friends are infinitely improved since having cut my family out of my life.

no one cares about your fantasy football team

Maybe, but we don’t know anything about what has happened in his life outside the football field and what he chooses to make public. As with the vast majority of people, his private life is private.
