who let smoking357 back in?
I was wondering the same thing. The resemblance is striking.
Wait a minute, let me put my helmet on. Ok, hurl more insults my way. I'm in suspense, is it my grammar, intelligence, or something new that will be insulted?

IC 35-42-2-11. I have never been involved in a fight that would constitute a battery on another human being.
...it is appalling to me that he's not in jail.
Which is it?I'm not sure if he should be in jail or not.
And per the above code...if you've committed battery...should you be in jail?
Should boxers be in jail?
Then you've never been in a fight...other than possibly a yelling match.If I'd committed battery (which I haven't) I should be in jail, yes.
there's an awful lot of words in that statute that constitute questions of fact.
Should boxers be in jail?
Boxers? Not unlike any contact sport. Probably not...they have entered into a contract knowing the consequences.
Should boxers be in jail?
IMO...no. The parties involved and the paying public deem it acceptable. Be it boxing or say football...several people make millions of dollars knowing that another individual it going to try to rip their head off.So what you're saying is that a fight where the parties enter a contract beforehand doesn't constitute "battery" then?
Exactly. Spit on me away from work and there will be issues to resolve. One of us will spend considerable time eating Freezies through a straw. And this will be my defense.I've been "guilty" of battery. However, I've had the mitigating circumstance of justification.

1. I have never been involved in a fight that would constitute a battery on another human being. In fact, the only fight I've ever been in where it wasn't someone else attacking me was when I was in the military, and trust me, the feeling was mutual (the result was also a draw).
