“Suspicious Death” In Downtown MHT (with shots fired)

You know what is a really effective weapon for defense? A handgun.
Honestly, I’m thinking church carry. As one of the ushers I’m part of the security. And a sap is one peg down from pistol, and less likely to harm elderly members than pepper spray indoors. And not as obtrusive as a Billy club.

But yeah, usually I just carry a gun.
 
Brass Knuckles, that's interesting. They are considered a deadly weapon.

Your Honor, I wasn't looking at my attacker, I felt a sharp blow to my head, searing pain, I was cut and bleeding, I thought he stabbed me, I had milliseconds to react and in fear of my life I fired in self defense.
 
Is the brass knuckles thing a rumor or what’s being reported on?

I guess that’s the same thing really as “reporting” doesn’t mean what it used to. But you get what I mean.

Seems to be mostly a rumor, surmise based on the one cellphone video of the moments before and when the punch is actually thrown in the street.

I haven’t seen it reported. The facial cut is only explained by a ring, brass knuckles or another object. There is no way a bare fist caused that cut, especially with the size difference
 
He’s claiming self defense. This may get interesting.
Its a legitimate claim. He was suckered once, then outside, surrounded on atleast three sides according to the video and then suckered again, this time with some blunt object that caused a significant laceration on his temple, like brass knuckles, or rings, but certainly more than a bare fist. If he was punched with brass knuckles, that’s assault with a deadly weapon. Also, being surrounded on at least three sides makes retreat difficult. Even if brass knuckles weren’t found on the attacker at the scene, easy for one of his friends to have grabbed them from dead guy.

He seems to have a competent and experienced criminal lawyer
Benjamin L. Falkner,a criminal defense attorney from Andover:
patch.com said:
In court paperwork filed in the Hillsborough County Superior Court Attorney, Benjamin Falkner a notice of self-defense.
The paperwork says, “Defendant John Delee hereby notifies the state that he intends to rely on self-defense, consistent with R.S.A. 627:4 (II)(A) which allows the use of deadly force upon reasonable belief that another person is about to use unlawful, deadly force against the actor.

In this case, Delee expected the evidence to demonstrate his reasonable belief that the complaining witness was about to use unlawful deadly force against the defendant, according to the court paperwork.

Delee further relies upon R.S.A. 627:4(II-a), “which provides that a person who responds to a threat which would be considered by a reasonable person as likely to cause serious bodily injury or death to the person or another person making the threat to the person or to another by displaying a firearm or other means of self-defense with the intent to warn away the person making the cheat shall not have committed a criminal act.”

Falkner said Delee expected the evidence to demonstrate he displayed a firearm in order to warn away a person or persons making or having made a threat that a reasonable person would consider as likely to cause serious bodily injury or death to himself. Delee noted, pursuant to R.S.A. 627:4 (III)(A), he had no duty to retreat because, at the time, deadly force was used in self-defense, he had the right to be where he was located. Delee was not the initial aggressor, and assuming arguendo, without conceding, that he had a duty to retreat, he could not retreat to complete safety.

Falkner filed a witness list for the bail hearing and indicated at least three people will be called to testify at the hearing scheduled on February 24th at 1:30 p.m.

QFTMFT!

Awhile back I was working in Sandwich for a bit and one of my coworkers in her early 60s at the time has never been on this side of the bridges, not only that but neither has her husband. Married straight out of high school and their ENTIRE lives spent in either Sandwich, Hyannis, or Falmouth. The only reason they include Hyannis is because it's the hospital they were both born in, Falmouth is where they have always vacationed. When I asked her why her response was "Everything we need is right here in Sandwich, why go anywhere else?". She and her husband are the Apex/Alpha of townies.

I just don't get it.
I'm that way with traveling to other countries. Been to Spain, Mayorca, Italy, Malta. Bermuda, Bahamas. But now IDGAF about other cultures or places outside USA. They are all commie or socialist states.

Just remind them that if it wasn't for the US they would all probably be speaking German now, YOU'RE WELCOME. They will appreciate your honesty and will shower you with gifts [rofl] [laugh]

Western Civ is up to its eyeballs in trannies, communists and third worlders but at least we're not speaking German. [thinking] We fought on the wrong side
 

"Rodriguez was deciding if he wanted to waive his rights or not. He then, without being prompted, stated that there are three sides to every story and that there are cameras all over the city. He went on to say that the other driver involved put his child's life in danger and that he fired a warning shot."

What a piece of shit. Bail set at $1k. Unbelievable.
 
how the hell is this guy out and walking around. I am sure he’s just being such a hood boy while he’s out.

He’s sorry. Smfh.
 
He was surrounded on three sides by aggressors, but Judge Steven Houran said in his ruling that "the state showed clear and convincing evidence that Delee could not have reasonably believed that Pouliot was about to use deadly force against him, and he did not act in justifiable self-defense when he shot him." Pouliot also had just assaulted him with some weapon that caused a laceration to his temple, as clearly seen in the video.

Christian, my NES comrade, I get it totally! If I didn't have to, I'd never leave my street. People suck, and everything is a hassle these days.

To quote Bon Jovi: "It's all the same, only the names change; and every day it seems were wastin' away".
 
If you get sucker punched in the head by someone wearing brass knuckles and you retaliate that is called self defense. Certainly the vehicle used in the action of self defense could be a debated need in any court case but again we have another rogue Judge who is using his own biases and personal opinion to deny someone a self defense case.
