And how long shall the attack continue? Until the police show up?
If someone touches you, it's an assault. Anyone being assaulted may respond with force necessary to stop such assault and prevent further attack. (Of course, what's "necessary" is open to interpretation.)
The police will arrive to determine what happened, take some notes, etc., but will not be there to protect you prior to the assault.
But I guess the important thing to you in this story is that the perpetrator was able to freely practice his religion and express himself, eh?

Yep, that is their outlook on this while this same poster hurls insults at Christians and says that they should be done away with.
You can enact all the policy you want..but what happens when you get physically attacked ?
Is that a trick question? You fight back until the danger is over. Detain the perpetrator if you can. If you're in a losing fight, disengage and retreat if possible.
But acting with the bravado displayed in several of the replies here moves way beyond self-defense. You do not escalate. You certainly do not do anything that can be construed as unnecessary violence or, worse, revenge.
Get out alive and unharmed and give the DA the best possible case against the perpetrator. Giving in to the urge to dispense a bit of street justice will put the bad guy back on the street faster and yourself in big trouble.
And we have another thread bashing the rednecks (southerners) for for their attitude towards Muslims.
I'm starting to think that far left liberals are more narrow minded and hateful than the groups they bash.
They are two faced at best...putting down one group while defending another..sometimes in the same sentence.
I know, I just went through that in another thread where the OP was calling out the rednecks about how dumb and backwards they are, but defending Muslims and their right to believe what they believe.

In some liberal states, before you use any force, you are required to attempt to retreat. If you cannot prove you tried to escape the assault, you can be charged with a crime equal or greater than your attacker.
I don’t know if California is like that but it would not shock me.
I agree with this. What the rednecks on this forum don't understand is you can enact policy. I'm all for racially profiling, tighter screening, maintaining GITMO, limiting immigration from Islamic countries, but what I don't support is racism, bigotry and stupidity like the dumb marine redneck who beat up a guy for having a long beard because he thought he was a terrorist or idiot in Arizona who murdered a Sikh because he thought he was Muslim. The radical morons on this forum don't want to make that distinction.
Who does? You're creating a boogeyman that doesn't exist to mollify your own conflict.
Is it? Muslims have demanded and gotten Sharia courts in England and Canada.
Why would that not happen here?
In ever contry where muslims have reached a certain threashold of the population, Sharia Law has followed.
In every country with a Muslim Majority, Sharia Law is the basis of their national legal system.
Too many people with the "oh no..not in America. Can't happen here."
Fools, all of them.
