People who have legally *ended* someone, what happened? - (r/AskReddit)

our slash asked reddit people who have legally injured killed someone in self-defense what is your story my great-uncle lived in a trailer in a rural area of Florida a kid 17 broken one night and held him at knifepoint he had no money and told the kid that he also told the kid to leave or he will grab the shotgun next to him kid charged and slashed him then he shot him bed they ended up charging his friend driving getaway car with the murder turns out they robbed several trailers that night chose the wrong one not me but my aunt about two years into her first marriage her husband beat her black and blue one night she didn't call the cops didn't seek treatment just went to bed and told him the next time he laid a hand on her she would kill him about 6 months later he did so she did he took a swing broke two of her ribs she grabbed a kitchen knife and shoved it into his eye she called a friend who was a local sheriff's deputy who told her to call 911 immediately call a lawyer no charges the broken ribs helped prove self-defense here we are 20 years later and that sheriff's deputy is now my uncle Gary we go hunting together every couple years when we can't find time my parents story during their wedding reception two men with masks entered and announced they'd be robbing them everyone thought it was a prank laughed it off and went on with the party they pulled out guns and said it was no joke everyone was on the ground on all fours and they went around collecting wallets and jewelry from the guests they came up to my grandpa I've never met him and saw what looked like a wallet in his breast pocket it was a date book and asked him to hand over his wallet he said he didn't have one cause he didn't and was punched in the stomach my uncle looked up at the guy and had a gun put to his forehead and was told I'm going to blow your ducking brains out my uncle grabbed a gun and turned around hurling the guy's face into his shoulder my grandparent others tackles him down and held him down the second guy went running off and my dad ran track on college chased after him and tackles him him and others pin him down police come and everyone is excited that the ordeal is over the cops say something like this is going to take a bit longer though there was a death freaking out my family asks who and find out the first guy was suffocated from being held down later it was confirmed he was on cocaine and died from something related to his heart edit at first said ceremony meant reception my mother had a friend who had an abusive husband one day she showed up at our home disheveled distressed red marks on her face and arms crying about her husband going crazy my mom of course is sympathetic but one it's the middle of the day and two she's alone with me and my younger brother and she doesn't want the drama she tells her friend she'll call the police and asks over and over again is he going to come here because I can't have that my dad who would have sent that a-hole to the moon bang zoom at a moment's notice was at work mum's friend assured her that he isn't because he doesn't know where she is and says not to call police because as it went still goes that will make it worse sure as [ __ ] not ten minutes later there is an insane pounding on the front door and yelling how these come to collect the missus and he doesn't care that he's making a scene mom tells me to take my brother and lock ourselves in her bedroom but the bedroom is right by the front door and there is a window so I can hear everything and I get full view of what happens next after more screaming between hubby and wife and my mum he throws his shoulder into the door my mom has decided she's had it right before he goes to shoulder the door again it flies open and out comes my mother swinging a baseball bat as hard as she can she got few hits to the a-holes arms and one to his back which sent him tumbling off the porch and into the grass all the while she's cursing and threatening him swinging the bat in the air like a lunatic think Shelley doodle in the shining but with 1000% more profanity and a more controlled aim my mother is 4 feet 10 if she weighed 100 pounds at the time she weighed a lot I doubt she did any real damage but the shock it made him scramble to his feet and haul ass down the block he did not come back thankfully but of course as things went and as they still go Mama's friend went back to the a-hole after a short cooling-off period thankfully she was able to finally get away and the a-hole is rarely mentioned now that the story does come up occasionally when my mom and her friends have too many bloody marys over brunch it seriously is one of my mom's proudest moments had her obligatory not me but my grandpa but who goes grandpa was something else arrested several times during Prohibition for runnin stills in the hills of Appalachia and other colorful sorts of stuff anyway many years after that he was in a bar somewhere in town some young a-hole got in his face as young a-holes do words were exchanged the young guy pulled out a gun and he stuck it in my grandpa's face grandpa didn't have time to determine the extent of the young man's commitment to his actions so he decided to pull out his gun and kill him right there cops were called witnesses were interviewed and grandpa was free to go I was working as a bouncer at a gay bar downtown had this drunk skip out on his tab at another bar and they called our bar to warn us sure enough he was sitting in one of our booth just kind of existing manager that night tells me to haul his ass out because he is not welcome so I do he then stands outside the door I'm working just non-stop yelling next to me constantly poking at me and insulting me and kicking my ankles dumb childish [ __ ] at one point he grabbed the cord for my ear piece by my collar and snapped it so he got a solid boot to the poles and dropped to his knees for a minute or two then went back to being a complete and utter dildo like he had been I am very patient he was annoying but I have a little brother and lots of younger cousins so he was no worse than what I had growing up this lasted a good half-hour or so before out of nowhere while I'm checking IDs I feel hands around my throat and they start to squeeze didn't even think just spun around swung a face hides popping him solidly in the mouth and grabbed him by the hair and bounced his face off the brick wall next to me four or five guys who were watching the whole thing grabbed him and he's just standing there study I learn idle throwing insults at all of us in a complete drunken state blood running from his face and like a gift from above a police cruiser does a roll by and I flagged him down real fast cop gets out asks what's going on I give him a quick rundown he asks what happened to the guy's face I told him I punched him and bounced him off the wall after he grabbed my throat cop cuffs and stuffs him and I never saw him darkening our doorway again I'd like to think he's sobered up in the drunk tank had reassessed his life but he probably just went to be obnoxious at a bar without a doorman not me but my dad had to knock someone out with a pipe wrench my dad was in his mid-twenties and had just started up his HVAC company it was late at night one of his customers called about his tenants complaining the air was out at 3:00 a.m. my dad as a recent business startup all on his own got dressed and went out on the call he got there and fixed the AC and when he was leaving it was a bit of a run down poverty-stricken area a man who was clearly drunk thought he was with his girlfriend who was living in the house my dad just worked on my dad obviously was like no I'm the HVAC repair guy dude pulls out a knife and charges my dad and my dad simply swings at him with what was in his hand which was a wrench not the guy in the temple and he was out cold dad kind of panics and jumped into his van and sped off nothing ever came of it so I assumed the guy was okay aside from a massive headache probably woke up thinking he had a killer hangover I'm a medic and firefighter we got called to a rollover accident New Year's morning obviously a drunk driver it was 3:00 a.m. we were first on scene walked up to the car and found a gun pointed at my face I grabbed his arm smashed it into the a post repeatedly my partner didn't even know what was going on the guy dropped the gun I told me partner to get it and ripped the guy from the car he's screaming I broke his arm the police get there I tell them he had a gun and pulled it on me they grab him and throw him in their car he was arrested taken to the hospital so his arm could be splintered was charged with driving impaired and assault please guilty and went to jail for a couple of years not me but my grandpa when he lived in Mexico he owned this one ranch where during the day he had workers to maintain it because it was really big space and there was lots of cattle horses etc anyway one night he decided to stay and sleep at the main house in the ranch he has his main house an hour away closer to the city and as his sister maintained the ranch house right before he went to bed someone snuck onto the property before he decided to get alums and other security systems and a man tried to steal some of the money in the main house that he knew was there because he was friends with one of the workers and was working with him to try and keep the money he sneaks on and my grandpa was still awake about to go to bed and he sees him from the second-story window creeping up to the house and seasoned objects in his hands my grandpa goes and grabs his shotgun and goes to the front porch and yells at him and he just charged my grandpa aimed that gonna shot him in the chest he also ended up firing the worker he found out was working with him grand dad was in the Navy stationed in Panama after World War two one day he and one of his shipmates were out patrolling or on guard duty or somesuch when a local kid runs up and says there's an American in a bar nearby and he's about to get killed sir my granddad and his comrade follow the kid to the bar and walk in to see an American sailor all cut up backed into a corner holding a chair over his head surrounded by her a couple of locals with knives grand dad scans the room and sees a pair of Panamanian cops and uniform sitting at a nearby table just watching and laughing he tells the guys with the knives to back off and one of them turns and lunges at him so he shoots him in the belly immediately the cops jump up reaching for their side arms but granddad's buddy shoots them both right around the same time granddad shoots the second knife-wielding attacker so maybe 30 seconds after walked into the bar four guys are dead they got caught Marcy Alda but somehow came out without so much as a discharge not sure how why I need to get around to seeing if I can find any records on it also my granddad never met a story he couldn't embellish but I have a feeling this one is true he'd talk about horrific violence he experienced at iwo jima till the cows came home but he did not want to talk about Panama I've posted this as a comment on another ask critic before so copy/paste my 18 yo brother and his then 18 new wife lived next door to a family with a teenage son she started an affair with that 17 yo son one day the son barge into my brother's place and started attacking him my brother was packing and moving BC he was leaving for the army he had pulled down a metal pole in a closet to make room for boxes my brother grabbed that pole have used it to fight off the teen the kid ran out bleeding my brother called my dad we lived a few blocks down the street and my dad jumped into action he grabbed one of his hunting shotguns and some bird ammo he ran out the door to the car screaming for us to call 9-1-1 my mom and I ran after him b/c we were clueless and wanted to see where he was headed my mom was on the phone with the cop and they were dispatching the one cop that we had in our town we start running down the road to my brother's place BC we saw dad pull in as we get near we hear a gunshot and see my dad and brother taking cover behind the car doors they'd open to climb in and leave another shot goes off and we can see it isn't my dad firing the teen had run home next door and was bleeding and told his dad my brother was trying to kill him his dad grabbed his handgun and saw my dad and brother leaving and started shooting that's the gun for mom and I heard damas kept running towards my dad's car I saw my dad position his shotgun in the car window and fire one round then he and my brother climbed in the car and started driving back at his home we all finally get together and dad says he shot the man in the stomach chaos breaks out on our street ambulance cops and people they take the other dad away to the hospital and my dad into custody within hours we find out that the man has died the birdshot hits his liver and he bled out my dad was charged with murder and we started receiving death threats in the cover of night we are moved we hid for days until my dad was bonded out ended up moving far away grand jury was convened and I had to testify to what I saw after all the evidence and testimony were presented my father wasn't charged BC the grand jury decided it was self-defense I now have contact with some friends from that town BC of social media we never talked about what happened or anything things carry on as normal that day is forever burned into my memory not me but my father back in the 60s he was at a small town bar with a friend the friend was playing pool and won a bunch of money off some guy he'd just met so the guy goes out to the car gets a gun and kills my dad's friend everyone in the bar kind of jumped on the gunman and my dad kicked stomped his head with his steel toed work boots the guy died in the hospital but my dad was never arrested or charged with anything he doesn't talk about it much the only reason he told me was because I made a stupid joke about shooting someone and he wanted to teach me why it wasn't funny yes and no had a drunk guy chased me to my car and punch me in the mouth so hard my teeth punctured my cheek I ended up breaking the guy's jaw so I was the one charged because I didn't have any actual damage and he had a broken bone I was charged with aggravated assault and ended up taking something like a plea bargain to avoid both going to trial and having a violent crime on my record if there had been a camera in the parking lot it would have been obviously a case of self-defense but it was my word against his and he had hospital bills to prove it I had to pull a gun on four men who ambushed me while I was delivering pizzas I was on the phone with 9-1-1 they came close it was pitch black outside I let my gun shine in the light of my car yelled at em to leave when they saw the gun they all stopped backed up and got in the car then sped off then I stopped delivering pizzas I was living in Queens while attending Fordham u in the Bronx came off the train one night there was a young busker at the end of the platform rapping about how if everyone just gave a little money God would give a little back I looked straight ahead ignored him tried to power walk past him I'm a small female he was a much bigger man he grabbed me by the arm and started trying to charm me for money I was pulling away trying to make him let go he wouldn't I started screaming and then I just started stabbing him with my keys I always carried my keys with the tips stuck out between my fingers because it was a not-so-nice neighborhood and I always got home late it didn't kill him but it hurt enough that he let me go this little immigrant woman had been coming up a platform and heard Lee screaming so she came running and started hitting him with umbrella so now he's on the ground bleeding and being sacked about his person a a 75 year old Ukrainian woman who introduced herself to me as Olga police came arrested him gave me and my new friend a pat on the back in the ride home fortunately it was the only time I was ever assaulted when I lived in Queens when I lived near campus in the Bronx it was a lot worse my roommate was insane I dated the wrong girl years ago in high school after we broke up she said I hit her just so we are clear I didn't a couple of guys including her new bf came up to me and sucker-punched me as I walked by at the time I was figuring competitively in Thai boxing but not talking about it much I cracked six off one of the guys rapes it was all on camera and I promised to not press charges if they didn't my punishment as it happened on school property was that I had to go say sorry to him at the hospital my smug ass words exactly where I'm sorry I cracked your after you and your friend punched me my grandpa was the cop very briefly in his twenties he quit after an incident either a group prison break or a group escaping a police van something to that degree involving a massive shootout he killed a couple men while basically half the small town police force was wiped out it traumatized him to the degree that he won't talk about the incident or acknowledge his old co-workers and while she didn't get away with it I still think her story is a good interesting one a female family member of mine tortured and killed a sex offender she was molested as a child and the cycle continued when her husband molested their children after the divorce she gave custody to her grandma for seemingly no reason then went on to break into a man's house and mutilate him before ultimately shooting him I'm not sure how long she's going to be in prison but she was arrested when I was a little kid whoa you made it to the end you're ducking beasts I'll cut you a deal smash like and subscribe for more curated content more light
