If an armed man breaks into my home and I attack him, can he shoot me and claim self defense?

29. In some ways she was right, but it really made no difference

While we are African Americans, my daughters were raised overseas and were really never exposed to the urban African American culture and norms. They did not even know what the term "diss" meant at the time. That said the three African American female students were known for being somewhere between domineering and bullies and could not deal with another black girl who did not understand things as they saw them. When they jumped her off campus (she was walking home) they had no clue of her background and capabilities which included years of martial arts training. She dropped all three of them, inflicting moderate injuries.

There was an off campus relationship between the GC and at least one of the girls' family. She took at face value the claim that my daughter had beat them horribly over what was supposed to be a minor educational "discussion". Her belief is that someone with that kind of "damage potential" and "lack of cultural understanding" was a risk to other students. She fought for suspension or even expulsion but eventually was told to back off by the district.

The GC had some good points about how the three assailants had lost so much face it would be hard for them to function in school and with their peers. Indeed one never returned to school and the others dropped out later. Their injuries were not all that serious (bruises, broken bones, and a lost weave) but clearly triggered some significant changes in their lives.
