Evasion, evasion.

Sorry, but as I continue to point out and which you have already admitted.
Self Defense does NOT authorize, permit or allow total, utter, and complete
violation of every aspect of the legal code. There ARE limits. Some things
remain crimes even in the cases of self defense. As I've told you before,
and as you have presented certain otherwise offenses are exempted by
SPECIFIC language in the statutory law in cases of self defense. However,
there is NO language for the offense I am directing your attention to, so it
is NOT PART OF THE FUCKING LAW!

Quit trying to tell me that language which is NOT in the law is in there.

> It would be nullification if there was no self-defense statute.  Get it
yet?

Wrong, since as I continue to point out to you there is NO LANGUAGE IN THE
SELF-DEFENSE STATUTE WHICH ALLOWS SUCH A VIOLATION OF OTHER PARTS OF THE
LAW.

If you were being charged with Assault, Assault and Battery, Assault with a
Deadly Weapon, or any of the other offenses which are SPECIFICALLY excluded
from being a crime in the case of justified self defense you would have a
point because it is in the law. Discharge of a firearm within the city
limits? IT'S NOT IN THERE.

If it were, I'm sure you would have found it by now, but no such language
exists.
