    Hello dear dancers just to update you how it has turn,

    So after we did caught our attacker we were a bit in stress to get sued because of his injury. Finaly he didn’t and we did decided also to not sue him at the condition he came to apologize, and that s what he did… He seems sincere even if, of course, he was not in position to do what he wanted…

    Because we didn’t sue him he has the benefit of a quick procedure. Finaly the judge give him 200 hours of forced work (he s unemployment) and an obligation to cure his cocaine addiction. I hope he will take that event as a lesson

    Hello and thanks for your comments,

    @dustbunny I did take a look about the law in my country and it seems it look like what you describe about Canada’s law. You must defend yourself using force that is “proportioned” to the threat. I guess (I hope) we are good.

    As you said, we did not use weapons, only our body. He could have just surrender when we catch him instead of punching me. That could have been really dangerous for us but thanks god, he has no knife or whatever but we just didnt think avout it at that moment. The fight was finally very short. I was surpise but at 4 vs 1, he has no chance to win.

    We did kick him while he was on the ground but we did stop after he stop trying to get up, we could have continu to beat him instead of tie him up. I hope police or judge can understand that in the case he decide to sue…

    Our teacher prefer to not mention it to the local newspaper.

    @Veena thanks I hope he will never try that again 😉
