At least some people in Il can carry a gun to prevent themselves from being beaten to death.
Yep. Looks like the posted speed limit was 35.
I'm thinking he'd make a better lawyer than you (oh wait ... anyway..). Your defense seems to consist of impugning those who's opionion differs from yours. I'm thinking that won't hold up in court counselor.
Why all the rage? Really, it's ok if we disagree.
If one is speeding through a residential neighborhood like a cafe racer and offer up some bs excuse about laying down a bike to avoid a child it is foreseeable that you will get your backside stomped right there and right then.
It's opinion, just like everyone else.
One of the foundations of self-defense is that you are in place where you have a right to be.

The notion that your behaviour prior to pulling the trigger will not be considered by the police, by the prosecutor, by the jury is less than realistic.
We shall see what happens. It helped that the motorcyclist was a LEO. If you do not have a badge it may not go the same for you. Be advised.
How do you KNOW FOR A FACT that he was speeding through the neighborhood like a cafe racer?

I don't understand your continued reference to "cafe racer",
What I'm having the most trouble understanding Kirk, is why in the Carry/Self Defense forum, you're adamantly advocating the populating of public streets by unsupervised children surpassing the rights of motorists on said streets by stating that the motorist is the sole cause of this entire unfortunate scenario?
Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding your position but it seems to me by your statements here that you feel as though the motorist deserved to get beaten down because he was driving on a street that he should have known children would be occupying and therefore should have avoided driving on that street. That position smacks of absurdity to me.
