Sad state of affairs this 'America' is in. Home of the brave my ass.

Right. To use the 'fear for my life' excuse when someone is going to hit your car with a hammer will never fly in court. So the guy hits your car, he's not going to disable it with one swing from a hammer. You floor it and get away. Your life isn't in danger and your car can be repaired.

Texas or anywhere else.

******* Martin's 'murderer' is still in prison for 'fearing for his life' and 'defending' himself. How are you going to keep paying for all your toys when you're locked up for more than a year for being a hero?
