That's nice. A drinking driver is charged with murder because another sober driver turns left in front of her and suicides on her front bumper. A person can intentionally punch you in the face and kill you and it is a game. Logic 101. If they shoot you it is the gun's fault.
'Cause all thugs have an inherent natural talent for divining the fine line between temporary unconciousness in a victim and permanent unconsiousness. They are probably born of long lines of anesthetists. Just like lawyers and judges can divine intent.
Why not embrace the game and use it for a lottery? If you survive the knockout you get a monthly check for life? Wait? ...
