Here is an example from the sports world of anti-social behavior resulting in a death. Please take time to read this sad report from Canada:
Dad Blames Hockey For Killing Rugby Blow
You can’t call it an accident because it was intentional though the judge determined that the other boy did not have the “intent” to kill the victim.
Problem is most people are ignorant of the effects of throwing a human body against the planet. This throw landed the victim in a way that caused considerable head trauma and ended up killing the victim days later.
Instead of this kid teaching the other kid a “lesson” for putting him in a headlock, he ends up with a manslaughter charge.
It’s a grim reminder of why we culled our research data on putting injury into the human body from injuries documented in Sports Medicine Journals.
These are injuries resulting from humans colliding with other humans, and humans colliding with the planet (like this one).
In the realm of Self Defense you must study relevant data on injuries to the human body so that you can reliably know how to injure someone when your life is truly threatened… and to avoid the anti-social behavior quagmire of unintended consequences.
As always your thoughts and comments are encouraged.
