When is it OK to use deadly force against a minor?

[Lost User]

Oh really? I'm glad I'm not a minor then

You're past your expiration date, then. ;)

Perhaps I should return myself to the shop then?

Did you keep your guarantee card and receipt?

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

He may need an RMA number, too. :-D

Did you get mad because some 17 year old hit on the girl you were quietly watching from a dark corner?

Here in Queensland, you can use deadly force basically when it's required to defend yourself against someone who is intent and capable of inflicting deadly force upon yourself. eg: A 16 year old 120kg islander boy with a machete is technically a minor, but you could reasonably believe that if he was intending to inflict deadly force he would likely be capable... Contrast this to a 40kg 16 year old unarmed boy.

Projection: a defense mechanism that involves taking our own unacceptable qualities or feelings and ascribing them to other people.

Quite possibly. The Code Project is a forum for software developers, a profession to which the Captain aspires, but, evidently, lacks the aptitude to attain. Back Room discussions are about anything other than software development. The Back Room reflects an image of himself as being among his peers, there is no challenge to his professed expertise. Gratifying to the old ego, no doubt, but his choice of monicker reveals an awareness, at some level, of his inherent ineptitude.

Five? Yes, I think so...

I'm not aware of any statues that make a distinction between defending yourself/others/your property against an adult attacker and a minor based specifically on age. Depending on the situation/locale 'reasonable fear for your life/grievous bodily harm' could come into play but that would be due to the attackers size, not his/her age directly.

I think the phrase you're looking for is "I know you are, but what am I?"

Sorry, I'm not the sad little loner who posted the 'stalker' remarks, they sprang from your imagination.
