depends on damage to kneecap and what job he's got.
Also gonna depend a lot on how much your worth is - they're gonna take into account a jury trial, and how reasonable the demand is according to how much money you make.
the issues surrounding it is going to be very complicated.

Also, depends on how good your lawyer is.

When you and your friends grow up and become responsible adults, you would know that you should not even be talking your way into a fight.



So twice in high school your group got "attacked out of the blue". Why do I have the feeling that your group instigated many juvenile incidents in school.

Hey, shut the **** up. How am I supposed to stay in business without dipshits getting themselves into fights and getting arrested instead of having half a brain and walking away?

Are you a criminal defense attorney, an ER doctor, or the DA?

Knuckle dusters are awesome for street fights. That dull metallic thud rhythmically beating, the blood coursing over your hands as you turn a face to mush, the pathetic roar of your opponent as he finally realises his dire situation, the frantic grabbing at your limbs that fades with brain function, the smell of fresh blood on a new asphalt, the taste, like iron as it drips into your open mouth while you run your bloody fingers through your hair turning it a dirty, clumpy brown as it slowly congeals before the impact of what you have just done smacks you in the face harder than a baseball bat...
Fucking knuckle dusters. If you can't hit hard, you shouldn't fight. IMHO.
That being said, I find it best to carry a pen as the law would be hard pressed to prove that I carry one with malicious intent.
But most of you are in the States. Cap the mutha fucka.

I've seen brass knuckles used a couple of times (homemade - made by someone with access to a casting shop). I used to hang around with (and I guess be part of) a group of idiots who got in a lot of trouble back in the late 80s/early 90s....

Anyhow, they can definitely do a lot of damage - both blunt trauma, and the rough edges on these ones also cut people up pretty bad. On the other hand, they don't extend your range or anything, so they're not very helpful if you can't punch well, are outnumbered, or are up against someone who is a significantly better/faster/more evasive fighter.

I definitely wouldn't recommend carrying them for 'self defense.' They're not worth the legal trouble, and probably aren't even going to help you a lot in any legit self defense scenario. If you're a thug/asshole looking for trouble, I guess they might come in handy...

Brass knuckles are for pussies. I use these instead:

Oh, and ya'll can tell the cops to suck muh dick.

criminal defense, my friend.

I noticed bullshido's bias is that there is always this assumption that one is squaring off against an opponent who is also aware of the fight.

The fact is that most bad guys are going to ASSASSINATE you. You never saw the brass knuckles, the knife, the gun, or the fist that hit you. And if you did, you already fucked up by not getting the **** out of there.

This thread is retarded. You're all retarded. When I was young and silly, I thought about getting Brass Knuckles. But those weren't hard core ENOUGH. You know what I fucking got?

Blast knuckles.

All the convenience of a taser, all the bad assedness of a pair of brass knuckles. I'll thunderpunch people right in the taint, and people will think I'm some kind of superhero/masked vigilante going around beating up bad guys. That is the answer to your question. That is the answer to any question.

I have about three of them. One in my car, and two I carry on my person at all times, in case I need to throw down and let someone ride the lightning.

Lightning doesn't strike twice; unless I hit you again.

MrBadGuy wins the thread.

Nothing more to add.

Blast knuckles.



I'm going to mount these as grips on some hiking poles so I'll be prepared for bear attacks. Forget ninjas, they're still the number one threat facing us today

Fun fact:

Blast knuckles are loud as hell. If you don't zap that ************, his ears are going to be bleeding from the CLACK CLACK CLACK of 900,000 volts of pure dick ripping electricity. It's also brighter than 10 suns placed in the palm of your hand, so you can melt his retina before you leave a mass of burned crispy flesh in the middle of his face.

Grow some balls, buy some blast knuckles.

The grappler may prefer something in a glove form:

The only reason grapplers grapple is because they're afraid to punch people. Blast knuckles remove this fear, because your hand becomes the Hand of God.
