Could a Soldier who was taught advanced hand-to-hand fighting

pretty he'll be charged for killing a man regardless of training

Like in the movie? Sure, he was defending himself and his girl and the dumb cunt fell wrong

there was a case in canada where some karate superblackbelt expert seriously injured an assailant during self defence, and the assailant tried to turn the case around saying that he (the assailant) was a victim of assault w/ deadly weapon because he (the karate expert/real victim) did not warn the assailant that he knew martial arts before defending himself

im pretty sure the assailant was convicted, but there is precedent about neutralizing the threat. it just depends on your jurisdictions laws; some places authorize the use of deadly force, others only allow the victim to use as much force as necessary to defend themselves. which would mean, in the case of the latter, you have to retreat as soon as you are able. e.g. if you are getting mugged and you use a knife to defend yourself and you cut the guy and he backs off, you now have to run away and call the police. if you continue to advance and stab this guy once he's no longer a threat, then you are now assaulting him (in some jurisdictions)

Yeah, no court in the U.S. would have convicted Nic's character.

Was the idea.

That always bugged the hell out of me. What dogshit court slaps a conviction on someone like that, with those kind of circumstances?
>Hey, this bar-dwelling asshole that (likely) has a shitload of offenses got turned into a pincushion because the war hero defendant was defending himself and his girlfriend from his pointless aggression
>GUILTY!

Who the fuck's gonna protest some white dipshit who undoubtedly has a rap sheet of noticeable length getting skewered after trying to rape a woman?

She was also pregnant. Absolutely no way he would have gotten a prison sentence outside of PlotDevice Land.

No, he killed him purposefully because he pulled a knife, but his buddy grabbed it before he ran off making look as though he was unarmed.
