When "Anti Bullying Laws" Go Too Far...

Ok, let's close this one, I was just trying to say that there are no laws which give you a free pass when you injure/kill someone in self defence.

Like all laws, terms and conditions apply, self defence is always a tricky one, but that isn't the same as saying there is no allowance for self defence.

And even if you managed somehow to survive the persecution, you'd still be sued by the attacker for personal injury, because there are no laws which state that you injured someone in self defence and you are imune to a lawsuit

No, that also would be judged on its merits like any potential lawsuit is.
If you go back tothat example I used, the son who was accompaanying his father on the burglary spree tried to sue, it was judged on its merits and thrown out(he was also jailed for being a criminal scumbag). The wife who tried to sue on her own behalf and on the behalf of her 12 children for the murder of her husband tried to sue, she was laughed out of court

Plus multiple attackers also means multiple (false) witneses how Anthony started the fight. But then again, if he can afford a mustang, he can afford a good lawyer, sue them all.

It often happens that multiple witnesses can be far more of a hindrance than an asset, though it would be interesting in the OPs incident to get some of the views of the people he was with who attacked him for no reason as (even without his record of making things up) something just doesn't ring true there.
