The only place brass knuckles have been mentioned is internet comment boards. If there is a trial and not just a plea, I'm willing to bet we would hear about it.

My friend who used to bounce at clubs, downtown told me brass knuckles. I don’t think he was on the message board. I think he talk to people in the city. Who knows, I’m sure we’ll hear everything when it goes to trial.

I hear ya, brass knuckles are pretty devastating, and where the blow landed based on the mugshot... Dude's zygomatic bones surviving without damage to the orbital, maxillary or temporal processes seem unlikely. Not impossible though.

Unrelated tip: A Bic type lighter held in your hand turns your fist into a concrete block without the impracticality of carrying a roll of quarters or a deadly weapon like brass knuckles. The absolute best option is to walk away.

I don't recall the video exactly, but didn't he challenge the guy to fight or go outside specifically to do that? At that point what does it matter if the other kid has a weapon? Even if the other guy had a gun it wouldn't be self defense?

The video clearly shows this ass in the bar challenging the other dude to fight him outside. The second he didn’t leave the scene, when he had ample time to do so, negates any self defense bullshit.

The person he shot who he was fighting with outside was different than the person he was fighting with inside. Main point being...the guy just wanted to fight.

Not running? If he knew the threat was over, no reason not to stay and wait for the cops

I think brass knuckles are illegal in the state of New Hampshire

Correct. All knives are legal, but brass knuckles and slingshots are not.

Slingshots are legal, slung shots are not. Big difference

Brass knuckles would matter.

However, they were outside, walking away is an option for self defense/preservation.

Also brass knuckles do not result in life being threatened.

I don't think you've seen the damage they can do.

As long as walking away is an option.... they don't justify a shooting.

There's more factors than that. Not arguing in either side of this specific case, but if the one with knuckles is much younger or faster, you don't want to turn your back and get hit in the head. You might have your own perspective on it, but even if you can run away, if you don't think you can get away, and think that your life is in danger, shoot, and let the court sort it out.

Brass knuckles are illegal for a reason. Again, not on either side of this as I haven't been able to look into it too much.
