Well, I can do it with my right pinkey, but not my left one.

You know there was a movie where Sean Connery beat a man with his thumb. I mean if it's in a movie it has to be true, right?? |

I remember that movie: Red Sun Rising, with Wesley Snipes as well. Sean Connery is the man!

No, wait, maybe you are talking about The Presidio. It also had Mark Harmon and Meg Ryan in it. I like that movie as well!

That is prejudice, they can't (or shouldn't) be able to prosecute you outside the bounds of the laws for anyone. For example, they can mitigate or aggrivate based on how bad you beat them, but not based on what your background is. If there is a case that they are doing that because of your blackbelt, not because of how bad you beat them, then the ACLU should (i said should) step in and protect your rights. It should be no different for you than anyone else.

They do though, sometimes. It's disgusting.

No martial arts are illegal in the US.

There was a case here a while ago where a black-belt actually picked a fight. The judge while sentencing noted that the man had usually shown great restraint in the past (he had worked as a bouncer/security guard etc. prior to the event and had never had a complaint filed against him). Seemingly having a black-belt actually worked in his favour to a degree..
