What charges will you face for hitting a teenager in self-defense according to British Law? If you were attacked then defended yourself, Or you made a preemptive strike in response to intimidating behaviour?

This is real but names are changed.
Sue works at a hospital. Her friend Karen thinks she is pregnant. Sue buys a test at the drugstore and helps Karen with it - in Karen's home. Result is negative. Karen administers another test herself at home, shows it to Sue who through her experience determines test is damaged and cannot be read. Karen insists its positive. Karen later goes to Sue's workplace for another test. Sue does not see results from her workplace.
Over 6 months later, Karen & Sue get into a fight. Next day Karen goes to Sue's employer and claims Sue violated HIPPA privacy regulations & must have viewed her personal medical records at the hospital.
Obviously, the employer is now in the middle but must investigate the allegations to comply with the laws.
What do you make of this? Who would you side with if you were the employer? Would you consider timing (over 6mos) and day after a personal argument amongst former friends?

Anybody with some knowledge about pitbulls or any other game animal will know that these animals can not be forced to fight.

You can not force a pitbull or any other animal to fight. They need to have it in their blood. Same with roosters, you can not even keep them together after certain age.

What I mean is that I was raised if you break the law you should be punished and I used to think Ill of people who did drugs and was glad when they went behind bars. Then I went to college and realized that my parents were wrong.

An example is the thing that happened in CONN. Our prisons are so over crowded with a lot of inmates (especially females) put in there on drug offenses. This forces parole boards to let some people out early and stuff like this happens.

We had to do interviews for my criminal justice class. And one of the people was a girl and her parents were kind of wealthly and once a month they would have a herione party. They would send the daughter to a grandparents house and have the party. Well the feds busted it one time and sent both parents to jail. The grandparents soon died and the girl got sent to a foster home and was sexually abused there. Was this worth it? Because the parents did a drug one weekend a month to ruin a whole family?

This is a clear case of the state interfering in the personal lives of these pharmacists, and say that they MUST defy their moral standards. It has always been the accepted norm in a free society that an establishment has the right to refuse service (except in the case of blatant discrimination).

Where are the people on the "pro-choice" side who decry "government involvement"? Is their objection only in the case where abortion is restricted?

Yahoo seems to think so. One side is the approx 90% white animal rights activists demonstrating outside the courthouse while the approx 95% black crowd is asking for due process. I'm actually for both sides here. Yes, it is wrong to force dogs to fight and torture the losing animal, but it is also wrong to assume guilt before the case has been heard. Vick has a lot of explaining to do, and his reputatation may not recover from this. I like that the NFL is holding off on any suspensions until the case is resolved. What are your thoughts on how much race will play a role in this case.

Why when it comes to African Americans (i.e. Michael Vicks, O.J.) most/some White Americans no longer accept the term “a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty?”

""They are not going to give the man a chance?" Williams said. "You're innocent until proven guilty. He hasn't even had a trial yet."

There should be two undeniable, 100 percent agreed upon truths concerning this case: First, dog fighting is a barbaric felony and whoever participated in it on Vick's property should get hammered by the justice system.

Second, Vick deserves the right to defend against the charges. The indictment cites four "cooperating witnesses," but presuming each is a dog fighter himself, potentially facing prosecution unless they rolled on Vick, who and how reliable are they?"
Maybe he deserves to defend himself and I am sure he can afford very good lawer, unlike those dogs.
Yes, I know they were only dogs, but they still have physiology and suffered before dying slowely. If we tolarete such bloody, sick, ignorant behavior, would that make us barbaric?

I do not believe that employers that are unionized should not force you to join a union. After all, why should you pay Union Dues just to keep your job? Why should you be discriminated against if you are a minority? Why should you have your hard working money go to politicians you do not vote for or approve of?

An elderly man shot a 31-year-old man who he said had robbed him at gunpoint late Friday night in northeast Dallas.

Charlie Andrew Myers III of Dallas was recovering Saturday from gunshot wounds in the throat and shoulder at Baylor University Medical Center.

Amor Kerboua, 79, was driving into the parking lot of his apartment in the 6400 block of Melody Lane, near Northwest Highway and Skillman Street, when a man police identified as Mr. Myers approached him, according to a police report. Mr. Myers put a handgun in Mr. Kerboua's face and demanded money, police said.

Thinking it was a joke, Mr. Kerboua pushed the gun away, but Mr. Myers pointed it at his face again. Mr. Kerboua opened his back door and handed Mr. Myers a cup containing $242.50. Mr. Myers then pointed the gun at Mr. Kerboua's stomach and told him, "I'm going to shoot you, [expletive]," according to the police report.
Mr. Kerboua (79)drew a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun from his front pocket & shot back

Prior to and through the Eighteenth Century, predominate usage of the expression "bear arms" exclusively referred to the profession of military service, as opposed to the use of firearms by civilians[3][4][5].

"In late-eighteenth-century parlance, bearing arms was a term of art with an obvious military and legal connotation. . . . As a review of the Library of Congress's data base of congressional proceedings in the revolutionary and early national periods reveals, the thirty uses of 'bear arms' and 'bearing arms' in bills, statutes, and debates of the Continental, Confederation, and United States' Congresses between 1774 and 1821 invariably occur in a context exclusively focused on the army or the militia.[3]"

As an example, the expression 'bear arms' is contained in the United States Declaration of Independence in the sense of 'military service' on a warship, as part of an indictment of the King of Great Britain for conscripting Colonial sailors to serve on British warships.
