Re: 2 Mexican Thugs Are About to Steal from my Neighbor
[ QUOTE ]
BTW, there's a good no-limit poker lesson in this as well. It's no-limit because you could lose your life or take another in such situations. 2 Mex Dudes: they bet first attempting to take down a small pot OP: minraises with challenging question 2 Mex Dudes: reraise with another challenging question The important part of this hand, is that the stack sizes (your or their life) is still great compared to the pot, and that the Mex Dudes are keeping the betting initiative and seeing if OP is pot committed but without yet having committed themselves which means they can back off anytime. They put all the committment on OP, and thus play goot. [/ QUOTE ] How do you have nearly 4000 posts and still do something like this?

Re: Results
[ QUOTE ]
i turned around and walked inside. when i came back outside with my jacket 30 seconds later, they were nowhere in sight, meaning they probbaly ran cuz they though i called the cops. the main thing that was going through my head was my neighbor probably doesn't give a [censored] that they stole gardening gloves. i never believed these kids were armed, at most they had a knife as big as mine. if i had anyone with me, i seriously would have contemplated the bat / knife combination. this brings me to my next question: lets say they there was only one of them, and as he was walking away i grabbed the baseball bat and smashed him over the head once, knocking him out. then i call the cops and make a citizens arrest. would this be absolutely legal, or would i be in trouble? [/ QUOTE ] yeah, this would definitely be illegal. You can only use as much force as is necessary to protect something. Unless they came after you with a knife and you could show your life was in danger then you probably could not use the bat. Also, you know what they say..."you mess with one bean...."
