" @Vitor said:This thread was worth reading through just to see "HE HAD HIS HAND IN MY PANTS." Thank you." @Fajita_Jim said:Again, you cannot detain a person. Citizens Arrest doesn't exist here. And 'invasion' doesn't just mean your house, HE HAD HIS HAND IN MY PANTS. "" @The_Laughing_Man said:You weren't attacked though - that implies physical aggression and pickpocketing does not count. Kid seems like a punk but that was a definite over-reaction - you could have just as easily stopped his attempt by grabbing him and then calling the cops. No need to lash out unless you were in actual physical danger. "No, Castle Doctrine can apply anywhere. " A person not engaged in unlawful activity who is attacked in any place he or she has a legal right to be outside of his or her home or residence may use reasonable and proportionate force against an intruder or attacker:" "" @Fajita_Jim said:
" @The_Laughing_Man said:Castle Doctrine is in your own home dude. "" @Fajita_Jim said:No, not here. We have the 'Castle Doctrine' and 'Stand your ground' laws here. I can defend my property by any means necessary. And yes, the police were involved, kid got taken into custody and released to his parents. No charges against me. "" Yeah so I'm walking through the mall and I feel this thing moving around in my back pocket where my wallet is. I turn and look over my shoulder and it's some 13/14 year old kid, so I just punched him in the jaw and left him sprawled on the floor. Now, I'm 34, so obviously this drew attention. Fortunately, a few people saw what had happened and corroborated my story. I don't care how young you are, you put your hand on my wallet and I WILL HURT YOU. I have a CCL and I do carry a revolver, but I think he got the message written on my fist. Would you punch a kid trying to steal your wallet? IMO, the best way to make sure you people don't FUCK with you is to ANNIHILATE anyone who does. "Its still gonna be assault. You might get in trouble Chances are the parents are gonna come after ya.
